To mark the closing of Quibi, the poorly-conceived mobile streaming service that lasted six months before collapsing under its own readily apparent flaws, Emily and Ed talk about why it was such a transparently bad idea, how the people involved misunderstood what streaming is, and how people consume media. They also discuss Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and its weird gatecrashing of the Presidential election, AOC streaming on Twitch, and Ben Wheatly adding another unexpected film to his plate.
