    Girl, The Tariffs - Recession-core Entertainment, Part I

    Well damn. Jon Voight, not beating the allegations. He’s out-demoning his deadbeat dad status as ENTERTAINMENT TARIFFS advisor.  Are movies physically coming to you on ships via the Suez Canal? Is streaming just a series of tubes exported on FedEx planes? We got an addendum (00:23) at the top of the episode y’all! Then in The Multiplying Genre (10:09), we discuss the potential impacts of tariffs on streaming: the tech, the production, the advertising… maybe some AI talk sprinkled in there. In Cross Dysfunctional (30:04), we discuss how the streaming services will respond to this joyous policy decision. In Wrap Up (44:44), we discuss what else is left for us out there, man. We're tired. Sigh. GIRL. THE TARIFFS.
