Episode notes

This chapter explores the shift towards digital content, highlighting concerns about the accessibility of movies and potential loss of cultural history. The speakers share personal experiences and memories associated with films and bid farewell to Netflix's last disc, while discussing the extras received from the service.

On September 29th, Netflix shipped its final DVDs, marking the end of an era in physical media. So, we invited our friend Christina Warren (aka film_girl) from GitHub to pour out a drink with us and lament the end of this golden age of access to the films we all love.
