Takeaways

The convenience of streaming services has led to a decline in physical media ownership, but it also comes with the risk of losing access to films due to licensing issues.

Physical media provides a sense of ownership and control over one's film collection, allowing for uninterrupted access to favorite films.

The resurgence of physical media is evident in niche markets, such as horror collectors, who value the tangible and exclusive nature of physical releases.

The future of cinemas is uncertain, with the rise of streaming and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to a potential decline in traditional theater experiences.

The film industry needs to adapt to the changing landscape of media consumption and find ways to monetize digital content effectively. Video games have experienced an accelerated lifestyle, with superior technology and availability at home, which has impacted the movie industry.
The film industry has fallen prey to the same fate as video games, with the availability of streaming services and superior technology at home.

The rise of the internet and social media has led to a loss of mystery and excitement around films, with constant exposure through trailers, TV spots, and behind-the-scenes content.

The cost of film production and the lack of profitability in the streaming model have led to stagnation and a lack of innovation in the industry.

The streaming model has become fragmented, with the need for multiple subscriptions leading to viewer fatigue and a decline in the communal experience of watching films.

YouTube has failed to adequately support creators and provide a sustainable model for independent filmmakers, leading to a lack of incentive and opportunities for smaller channels.

Sound Bites

"Gone are those box shelving units that used to be full of DVDs in the living room."
"So we're back where we started. And it's not because I'm too fucking cheap and it's not because I object to streaming. Like I literally cannot watch it. I can't pay to watch it."
"There are bits like that. But even the manufacturers of these type of disks have streaming services now. Like Arrow's got a streaming service."
"The video games had that accelerated lifestyle. And I think you should look at that if you're looking at how movies are going to go."
"There's no mystery around film stars, there are no film stars, not really, not anymore."
"The answer is stop spending hundreds of millions of dollars. You don't need to. The technology is there to make this stuff a lot cheaper."
