Streaming, Doctor Who, and 1970s superheroes

Hello! Another Kasterborous chat for you this week with the full team of Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova. This time, we're bringing together three conversations about television past and present — from the frustrations of streaming to Doctor Who edits and the decidedly different world of 1970s superheroes. First, has streaming actually made it harder to discover good television? With programmes scattered across an ever-growing collection of services, we look at how finding something to watch has changed — and whether we've lost something from the days when you could simply stumble across a great programme. Then we turn to Doctor Who. If you could go back to the original material and make your own edit, what would you change? Which stories could benefit from a little judicious cutting, rearranging or reconsideration? Finally, it's back to the 1970s and two very different attempts to bring Marvel superheroes to television: Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. Long before the MCU established what audiences expect from live-action superheroes, television had its own ideas about how these characters should work. Three conversations, one extended edition of Kasterborous. In this edition: Has streaming killed the accidental discovery of great television? The problem with programmes being scattered across multiple services What would we re-edit in classic Doctor Who? Looking back at television with the benefit of hindsight The strange world of 1970s live-action Spider-Man Bill Bixby, Lou Ferrigno and The Incredible Hulk How superhero television changed long before the MCU With Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova. This edition is available as a video on our Patreon, with shorter videos on our YouTube channel.
