Feedback we've gotten is that this is one of the better eps! Would like to share, Episode Outline:

  • History of Blockbuster.There’s a misconception that Netflix “killed” Blockbuster, but in 1997 (before Netflix ever mails a DVD) the Blockbuster market valuation had already been cut in half.

  • A review of the documentary ‘The Last Blockbuster’, how it’s a character study on Heidi, who is “the one” of capitalism

  • No one gets to own anything anymore

  • How tech reduces friction in our lives, and why things being easier may not mean it’s necessarily “better”

  • The Big Techification of movie making, how our movies are made by tech companies now and what that means

--How The Algorithm runs most of decisions we make in day to day life and how Blockbuster existed outside of that algorithm
