In this episode, Fekkes and I review It: Chapter Two. We also debate the merits of single entry franchise storytelling in the era of peak TV/storytelling, Disney+ trailers, Apple TV+, and the “Streaming Wars.”
This week’s stinger comes from our Patreon-exclusive recording: 048 - OV B-Roll - “Ve(ry)nice, Italy” - Getting Even, Fekkes’ LEGO Rebuild Status, Afternoon Beers, and Farming Simulations - September 18, 2019
