Episode 77: The Streaming War Continues!

The Battle of the Streaming Services heats up, and soon there will be blood! Also, Brian and Mandy discuss Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood and the big-screen showing for the 10th Anniversary of Doctor Who: The End of Time. And, Brian has an announcement on the future of the Geek Watch Podcast. 00:48 - The Streaming Wars Continue. HBO Max acquires the rights to air new and old episodes of Doctor Who. Disney brings on the heat by packaging ESPN+ and Hulu with its own streaming services. And finally, Disney threatens to unleash unending remakes of your childhood classics. Brace yourself. 05:31 - There's an avalanche of information on CW's upcoming CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. Old favourites from decades past will appear on TV again. (Look out for Batman and Lex Luther!) Black Lightning will likely make a cameo. The release schedule for the four part season finale might just end up driving us insane. 11:57 - Brian just watched ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD and strongly suggests watching the film in a theatre. The movie captures its period with stylish accuracy and Tarantino shows how much his craft has matured. We discuss Bruce Lee's portrayal in the film and how much of the story was fictionalised. 17:58 - Fathom Events held screenings for the 10th Anniversary of Doctor Who, which Brian attended (while Mandy was busy battling evil dragons in D&D). We discuss how things changed for this franchise ten years ago, and Brian feels a kinship with David Tennant as both wonder how time went by so fast. 23:45 - We finally come to Brian's announcement. It's been a fun and eventful two years for this podcast, but there's more to come.
