Streaming has made independent film more accessible to people that it has been ever before. But while people were inside streaming, they developed a hunger for more indifferent kinds of movies. It's not actually true that audiences will just snap up every single streaming service that is out there. They want to watch really, really, really specific things.
Paris Marx is joined by Gita Jackson to discuss how streaming has altered the film and television industry, what happens as their business models are coming under question, and whether cinemas have reason to celebrate streaming’s woes.
