News Break – Alex, Bill, and Josh discuss the surprise announcement that The Walking Dead will end in 2022…or will it?
Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. and whether it was Disney Plus, Netflix, Amazon, or another streaming platform that came out on top. Bill and Josh made the case for HBO Max despite a few bad news cycles, while Alex stands up for CBS All Access while he still can.
