In this episode, Jason, Mallory, Espo discuss Disney+ and how the future of streaming looks heading into 2020; talk about the things they're thankful for when it comes to movies; and since next month's episode will most likely revolve around end of year/decade content, we get into a heated debate ranking our favorite Christmas movies of all-time. One that ends in a musical number from Espo (yes, we couldn't believe it, either).
The Streaming Wars: With the launch of Disney+ happening since the last episode, we discuss its launch, what we've watched since its debut (and what we hope to watch), and fawn collectively over The Mandalorian. We also discuss how the many streaming service launches that are scheduled over the next 6-8 months will affect the entertainment industry and popular culture, as well as how people will consume movies and TV shows moving forward.
What We're Thankful For: There's no way we wouldn't have a pre-Thanksgiving episode and NOT talk about what we're thankful for. From our favorite actors to much-deserved comebacks to movie studios that are just KILLING it, we list off all of the things that make us love going to the movies, particularly in as strong of a year as 2019.
The 12 Movies of Christmas: A holiday spin on last episode's "Group Consensus" segment, we each throw some of our favorite Christmas movies into the ring and then, collectively, narrow it down to 12 of our top favorites. We then debate on how they should be ranked, with 1 being the least favorite of the bunch and 12 being the most (because, like the song, you want to have more of the things you love). And trust us, it wasn't easy (in fact it was downright painful at times). And then to further induce pain, Espo sings them to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas song. Because YOLO.
