The $50 Movie Ticket & The Great Media Merger Mania
Transcript
Is the “cheap night out” officially extinct? In Episode 465, host Steve “Megatron” Phillips and TFG1Mike confront the arrival of the $50 movie ticket. But the industry shifts don’t stop at the box office. We dive into the massive retail and audio rumors: GameStop eyeing eBay, and the potential powerhouse merger between iHeartRadio and SiriusXM. We also look at the future of “proving you aren’t a robot” as Google moves to replace CAPTCHA with QR codes, and why modern movies have developed that frustratingly dark, murky “Netflix Look.” Plus, we preview the ABC Fall Schedule and the arrival of Stuart Fails To Save The Universe.
What you’ll get out of this episode:
- A deep dive into the economics of Premium Large Format (PLF) cinema and the $50 ticket trend.
- Analysis of the GameStop/eBay and iHeartRadio/SiriusXM merger talks.
- Tech updates on Google’s QR code verification and the “Netflix-ification” of cinematography.
