Feedback we’ve gotten is that this is one of the better eps! Would like to share, Episode Outline:
-
History of Blockbuster.There’s a misconception that Netflix “killed” Blockbuster, but in 1997 (before Netflix ever mails a DVD) the Blockbuster market valuation had already been cut in half.
-
A review of the documentary ‘The Last Blockbuster’, how it’s a character study on Heidi, who is “the one” of capitalism
-
No one gets to own anything anymore
-
How tech reduces friction in our lives, and why things being easier may not mean it’s necessarily “better”
-
The Big Techification of movie making, how our movies are made by tech companies now and what that means
–How The Algorithm runs most of decisions we make in day to day life and how Blockbuster existed outside of that algorithm
