We’re back with a new episode, this time covering how successful Netflix’s crackdown on password sharing has been since launch. Disney+ has removed about 30 titles from its service since last month, and Apple has debuted a state of the art AR headset for…$3,500. Should you buy one to watch movies at home? Probably not! But we’ll talk about details anyway.

Shazam 2 debuted under expectations in theaters, but we take the contrarian opinion that this doesn’t mean anything negative for superhero movies. Netflix is going to double its game content library in the next year, and as we scroll through their games some of them are actually solid titles. Last, Rocky III gets a steelbook release and we talk about favorite specialty sets of ours.

Charlie recaps his thoughts on the first two episodes of The Last of Us and how fresh it feels from the bland sameness of the "netflix look" that so many shows seem to have these days. And lots of news coming out of Netflix with one of its co-CEOs stepping down to an executive chairman position, the planned rollout of paid password sharing, and 34 (!!!) south Korean shows slated to release this year alone.

Netflix cancellations have gone too far! It was OK when ‘1899’ was taken out, but ‘Inside Job’? Unforgivable. We go into a deep dive on where Netflix’s future lies with subscriber trust now that people’s expectations are that shows will be ended early rather than letting their stories conclude. Meanwhile, an exec from Warner Bros. Discovery asserts that streaming services should cost more, and VR comes to CES.
