Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Justin pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. Bill & Josh decided Disney+ won yet again thanks to the start of The Mandalorian, the recent news about Soul, and their great Halloween offerings as well as the news from late last month of their focus on streaming. Bill also puts over Netflix’s October with the releases of Hubie Halloween, Haunting of Bly Manor, Queen’s Gambit and the second installment of Unsolved Mysteries while also getting series Oscar talk with Mank and The Midnight Sky. However, Alex chose a fresh entry into the war by selecting IMDbTV after they announced a partnership with Judge Judy.
