Studio Upgrades, Vizio-Walmart Trap & Why The 22-Episode Seasons Are Officially Dead
Transcript
In this episode of Altered Geek, host Steve “Megatron” Phillips and TFG1Mike dive into the shifting sands of the tech and entertainment world. First, Steve catches us up on his massive Studio Desk Upgrade—because every geek needs a command center that actually fits the mission.
In the news, we discuss the “Walmart-ification” of your living room as Vizio TVs prepare to require Walmart accounts just to function. We also look at the massive geographic shift for J.J. Abrams, as Bad Robot prepares to downsize and move its headquarters from the glitz of L.A. to New York City. Finally, we break down a brilliant take from actor Sterling K. Brown (of Person of Interest) on why the 22-episode TV season is a relic of the past. Why do streamers prefer “new and shiny” over long-running favorites? We follow the money from advertisers to subscribers to find out.
What you’ll get out of this episode:
- A look at the new Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker Funko Pop reveals.
- The privacy and convenience implications of Walmart’s new requirements for Vizio hardware.
- Insight into why streaming platforms prioritize short seasons over the classic network model.
- The impact of Bad Robot’s move on the future of film and TV production.
