This chapter discusses the decline of physical media, including the decrease in popularity of DVD rental services and the loss of behind-the-scenes content. The hosts also touch on the issue of limited access to streaming services in rural areas and the impact of automation on jobs in DVD rental plants.
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.
