The Streaming Market has recently seen two major changes. There are streaming services like Disney and Warner Brothers removing large amounts of their exclusive content. Or in some cases don’t even release it, i.e. Batgirl. Whilst Netflix has moved ahead with its plans to crack down on password sharing. There has been a negative reaction to both these […]
There have been many versions of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet put to screen. There have been classic interpretations (Romeo and Juliet – 1968), modernisations (Romeo and Juliet – 1996), and films inspired by the classic text (West Side Story).

Kieran and Jean discuss the news about Disney+ and Hulu removing a large amount of their original content and the potential impact it might have for audiences and the entertainment industry.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a classic 80s/early 90s sitcom has struck a chord with the ascending adults of a young generation (maybe they recall it fondly from their childhood, maybe they found it again on streaming, maybe they are just wondering what ever happened that that actor . . .)
