Hosts John Aljets and Maggie Lovitt discuss the good and bad of Netflix from price hikes to BioShock and Arcane becoming canon.
In today’s episode, our hosts, John Aljets and Maggie Lovitt, start us off discussing a substantial price hike announced by Netflix after recent reports that the streaming service would be raising subscription fees after the SAG-AFTRA strike comes to a close. In lighter news, they also weigh in on updates for the BioShock movie adaptation and League of Legends.
Some disheartening information began circulating when Netflix’s Q3 earnings report came in on October 18. Effective immediately, subscribers with both basic and premium plans will see their monthly fees increase. The price of the basic plan, which will no longer be available to new subscribers, will go from $9.99 to $11.99, and premium users will see their $19.99 bill increase to $22.99. Netflix’s ad-supported tier and the ad-free standard will remain the same.
Next up, fans of the video game BioShock have long been awaiting the film adaptation that would finally come to fruition. Set to release with Netflix post-price-hike, screenwriter Michael Green spoke with Collider’s Nate Richard to give a progress update, telling us that, “Netflix has been amazing about it. They were excited about it before the strike, they're excited about it now, post-strike.
