#47 – Writers Strike, NBC Turmoil, and ‘Citadel’ Spends $300 Million On Some Spy Stuff

The one where we delete your memories.

May 5, 2023

The Writers Guild of America is on strike demanding a more equitable deal for streaming rights and we’re here with the entirely biased news and analysis you deserve as a true connoisseur of streaming. Coincidentally (really!) we’re reviewing the $300 million Russo Brothers spy series Citadel that just premiered on Amazon Prime Video. (Spoiler alert: We think there are better ways to spend $300 million.)

Plus:

  • We’ll take a look at which shows are immediately impacted by the strike.
  • Roy Wood Jr. hosts the White House Correspondents Dinner.
  • The Super Mario streaming story gets Super Confusing… again.
  • And, oh yeah, the head of NBC got fired in a scandal that tangentially involves Vladimir Putin and somehow that’s not the biggest story of the week.
