"we shouldn't take anything off of streaming stations"
"They're getting rid of Artemis Fowl"
"Ok that one can go. "
I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as everyone says… it was, in fact, that bad.
Willow
@Alicia Bell I love willow ❤
Hilarious. The whole point of this streaming thing was that content can just exist digitally to be accessed whenever.
I would expect those who are being fed by residuals to be upset. But let’s be clear, it’s a business and not an emotional decision.
Things like “snatched away” are not productive. If this was menu item at a restaurant no one was buying, it would be ‘86 or removed.
It’s not snatched off the menu…it’s wasn’t profitable
@@TheEliFamilyI think that somewhat misses the point. The implicit idea behind streaming was, for a time, that in exchange for paying monthly fee, and in lieu of purchasing physical media/individual digital licenses, the viewer could be confident that all the content owned by the streaming service would always be available and therefore they did not need to purchase individual shows/movies, or worry about them disappearing.
So while the content being removed may not be particular popular or mainstream, and the removal makes sense from a business perspective, it represents the end of this implicit “contract” between the streaming service and it’s viewers. I think that’s what’s most upsetting, and could drive the perception that there is less value in maintaining a subscription even for consumers that would never have watched the specific shows.
@@smugapple I’m sympathetic to what your saying, just don’t agree with this contract element you spoke to. Your expectations of what you should get are based on your feelings. Same analogy as the restaurant and now let’s say it’s a buffet. They took off a few side items you liked so stop going to that buffet. The sense of entitlement for a paid service is something I don’t understand. You can talk with your wallet.
This is not water or electricity ⚡️ that is a public good you need to get from them.
I’ll go one step further, let’s say this is a Disney park and they closed a few attractions and your a membership. Don’t renew your membership if the value isn’t there…
@@smugapple I think anybody going into a streaming service or buying a digital movie off a VOD service with an idea of "forever" is a bit naive. What if tomorrow Apple declared bankruptcy. Do you think you'd really have all your movies if itunes no longer existed? Its not like physical media is forever either. Not only do movies have the possibility of going out of print, but discs scratch or wear out over time.
@@smugapple I never got the idea that it was contractually expected that every streaming service keep every one of its shows. I always looked at it as paying for a brand. The Netflix brand offers these shows and disney offers these. For the entirety of my life brands have switched up there formulas and marketing. It would be a little naive to think that every thing(including all the stuff nobody is watching) will always be accessible forever. Just using the word forever in terms of any business is naive. Disney is merging with Hulu so now they'll be offering maybe even double(maybe more) the content. For the to facilitate that business decision and grow as a streaming service they had to cut cost. I'm not surprised by any means that they do stuff like this but situationally you gotta admit this isn't a bad deal. With all the shady business practices in the world this seems kinda beneficial. Now if I hear later that disney plus cost 20 a month now I'll be annoyed but if any thing this plan should ensure the jump is at least a little smaller.
This whole thing is just plain awful. All these shows... all these people put their heart and soul into these shows. I hate the way business works sometimes. If anyone who made these shows sees this. Thank you all for the entertainment. And Thank You Dan for keeping in the loop. You rock!
It's more awful when you realize the streaming era was just the studios pulling off another scam to screw the people who made these shows from the money they owe them. It's why the writers are on strike and why the actors guild and directors guild are likely joining in soon. The studios made a small deal with the actors guild like a year or two ago so they don't go on strike early, but it's still smaller than what they normally make.
You know something is wrong when a writer for a popular streaming show says they made less than half during that show's production than when they were on strike the last time in 2007. You know something is more wrong then a writer says their residual check for their streaming show is less than $30 while indie filmmakers on Tubi are reporting anything from $200+ a paycheck, to getting lucky and earning 5 figures in a quarter earning. And the big studio or well known projects can earn 7 figures in one quarter earning.
The irony was that since Disney + was meant to be in-house content, it would be less likely to disappear since they owned it. Netflix had a lot of third-party content that disappeared because the rights had expired or another company had outbid them and taken it off them. This proves nothing is safe on a streaming service. I still find it irritating when some movies are available to watch on multiple streaming libraries and there are others that aren't available anywhere. Each time technology updates, something gets left behind and relegated to the past.
it's because they wasted so much money on crap no one wanted. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GAME SHOWS
@@whodatninja439 because games shows on linear tv or on platforms like Pluto Tv or Tubi Tv makes bank
Honestly, this seems like a very Disney thing to do. They've always had the "Disney vault" where movies go to create a scarcity on them. Now they've got a "vault" for digital content.
Most of it may never see the light of day, but I can honestly see Disney pulling them out of "the Disney vault" when their stars win an award, retire, or pass away.
I've noticed my regions Hbo also does remove a lot of content. They are kinda underdogs so some brilliant content that people just didn't find get's chopped after it's shown for too little engagement quite quickly. It's annoying.
The worst is the series these platforms start and doesn't follow thru with..??? Like the netflix's 1899 that got enough of eyes according to the makers of it for a second season, was going to be 3 season show and netflix cut it.. Basically reason being some slow brained calling it tooo sloow and boring on internet. The overall reception being it feels there is something but not completely sold yet. So stupid reason to not extend, especially when the first season was kinda like a set-up season for the bigger mystery but still had enough of cool/interesting things happening inside of it while explaining the concept. Kinda like when Game of Thrones came people called it boring and by 3-4 season whole world was catching up to it. So it seems to me if they with the 1899 make the decision to continue it will be almost impossible to get anything more adult orientated atleast from netflix, if they are that scared to go on in such a good spot. No wonder they put the money in multiple cheaper teenage bs shows like Wednesday (it was ok but didn't make any sense plot-wise, so low effort. It basically took half of it's aesthetic and worldbuilding, some plot from Harry Potter. Also what the lead Jenna Ortega have said about what the original vision was going to be was truly horrible because the character itself was only saving factor in the show)(There was that drama of the writers calling her publicly entitled and blabla because she mentioned in Dax'es podcast that she had to act a bit unprofessional since the chatacter was essentially written so bad, now she is a producer in S02 so atleast netflix saw that her decisions over writing saved the show 😂).
11:30 thank you for addressing this. I just joined the WGA in an attempt to pitch my own original series. To work so hard on a project and to see it virtually become extinct. No physical media versions or chances to see it ever again. To me, it's horrifying that my series could just be erased, just like that.
I hope they allow writers, directors and cast members to keep some kind of private physical media.
I read a VERY interesting post from Mike Flanagan the other day about him being thankful that piracy is a thing, because some of the stuff he’s made would disappear from existence otherwise in these uncertain times.
Which titles were he referring to, so you know?
@@BurnsReviews specifically Hush, that apparently Netflix took out of their library and isn’t available anywhere else now.
I'm trying to imagine how this new streaming dynamic will crush "cult favorites"... Would shows like Firefly ever get an audience in a world where it can't catch on after it's initial run?
Yes more likely since shows like that stay on netflix forever.
@@bosmith1820 except when streaming services pull them off, which is what this video and my comment are about.
thats what i was curious about. the office is my favorite show, but i never watched it during its actual run time, it was only recently that it was added to peacock that i started watching it. tons of shows end up being fan favorites years after they actually were realeased
@@californiumblog Right, but shows like firefly get popular because of streaming too.
@@martymcnasty6306 are you guys even listening to the conversation? Like literally the point is these are studio exclusives that they are now pulling from their only available site and DON'T have plans to make available for licensing or physical media purchase.
The Jeff Goldblum show getting cancelled infuriates me. I loved that show. One of my favorite things on Disney+. If it were on Blu-ray I’d buy it. This is why I still buy physical media.. games, movies, music.. I buy and own my media when I can because of things like this.
That show is really good!😢
I'm pretty sure that show was one of several they threw together at the last moment because they needed launch content for D+. Now that they have other marquee content like the marvel and star wars shows to draw people in, those earlier offerings are less important
I understand what you’re saying about the love of physical media. Years ago, I would inspect a videocassette box thoroughly, almost lovingly, for lack of a better word. But, that power also mostly goes with the studios. If and when they decide to cease production of the media, customers are in a bind.
That show is incredible!
Physical media is great but you can’t use that as an excuse as all the content they are getting rid of has no physical media to buy. If they did, I’d get Clouds, Flora and Ulysses, and the one and only Ivan, all great movies that Disney is getting rid of. Not sure if I’d watch Clouds again because while it’s a great movie, a tear jerker throughout but people should have the chance to watch that story. But everything that has physical media is still on there so can’t use that as an excuse like “this is why I own physical media.” Lol
Funny how streaming was so convenient it became the reason why a lot of people ditched piracy. Now these digital only content can only be accessed through pirated copies.
The only positive out of this is that we can now all pretend that the Artemis Fowl film never existed.
I'm a proponent for physical media in general but, for cases like these where they aren't available anywhere in any form, this whole situation really encourages thew growth of piracy and encouraging that as an alternative to subscribing to streaming services.
Streaming services nowadays are doing their best to promote piracy. Why wouldn't you illegally download your favorite movies and tv shows when at any moment they might just remove them from their service just to save a few bucks? Some of this streaming exclusive content never comes to physical media, so if they remove them, you literally can't watch them anymore.
This is why we all should keep buying physical media. I hope it makes a comeback in a big way.
They took up so much room. I like this system better, but only if they can solve losing something you purchased. But maybe your right.
It’s not physical media that’s gonna get more popular it’s piracy
It's what I'm going back to streaming has been so unreliable.
Yes I totally agree then you have it for ever! This is BS
This is why I wish Prey was not a Hulu exclusive. I want it on Blu-Ray!
I wonder if, for Disney at least, they could bring back the “Disney Vault” concept to allow access for the public to physical media of some of these exclusive properties that are being removed from streaming. FOMO still works…
This is why physical media & home video is king (if you want to own your favorite movies & shows).
right in the middle of the writers strike, they're proving the writers right by removing their ability to make income off the work they've done
you think they are paying writers based on view counts? lul
Thwy are also showing the writers who has the power.
The whole streaming era was a scam to screw employees from the money they owe the people who make the shows and movies. It's why the actors and director guilds are likely going on strike next. You just have to realize what the residual contracts cover and don't cover. You know what they don't cover or barely do? Subscription fees (actors guild needed to negotiate this so actors don't go on strike early), tax write offs and selling content to another network.
I'm so glad you made this, Dan. The topic of streaming content deletion is very important to me. And concerning
A week of watching Disney’s live action remakes?! Poor Dan….
That sounds like a torture method
Iv literally never heard about 99% of these projects
Stuff like this is why I still buy blu rays to anything I love and enjoy, I still buy all my games physically and anime I enjoy I also get the blu ray cause of stuff like this
I dont think any of these had a blu ray release lol. Bad content anyways.
@@crashingcoyote I don’t even know who that is so ima say no
@@georgehernandez2156 that’s actually something scarier there’s several shows I really like that don’t even have physical media because they exist on a site somewhere, but if it has a physical release and I like the thing I almost always will buy it
I’m always down for a drm free digital copy of media on a storage device too
The fact that Queen Cleopatra is even in the top 10 proves the controversy made a difference.
Totally forgot that Echo was going to be a thing
I only found out that Echo show exists a few days ago (I check a website weekly to track upcoming TV shows).
I like to think I've got a quite high level of comic book knowledge, I watch pretty much all the TV shows and films, played many video games, even got a few Schmoedown questions correct. I literally had to google Echo because I had no idea who the character is. When I saw it was a Hawkeye spinoff, my first thought was "oh ok, yeah I liked Kate Bishop, this might be ok". Then I read further and realised its not Kate Bishop, and eventually I remembered who Echo is.
This is exactly why Marvel is going downhill, both from a quality point of view, and their box office. They're scraping the bottom of the barrel to find Z list characters that nobody cares about to give them their own show, and then they wonder why the reviews are bad and hardly anybody watches.
Man, I thought "One day I'll get around to watching the Willow tv show," I guess I never will.
You have several days. Still time. 🤷♂️
This happened to me.
physical media might be 'boring' and outdated, but I do like having my favorite movies and shows secure on DVD, as I know exactly where they're found and are always able to be played.
Physical media is definitely not boring or outdated. Blu-ray and 4K look better than anything streaming.
Yeah I love dvds too. I have a good collection of dvds and VHS tapes in my basement.
Most of these things makes you wonder why would you open up a streaming service and shove useless crap on it then wonder to yourself ''why isn't any one watching??''. Cable makes more sense that this tbh.
What I always thought Disney should do on Disney Plus is have a radio station and play all their music it seems like a no brainer to me, as they own all that content. People would just turn on their tv and listen to all the Disney tunes from the last 90 years. You could even have a DJ or DJs that talk about the songs and stuff. I dont know maybe its more complicated than that.
They had a radio stations but they discontinued it years ago
@@yorickmoran6327 I just think with the Disney plus and millions of over 100 million subscribers you could run a music show basically on the cheap once a week and have them play different songs from different eras. I think people would love that.
they should do that but have a live channel like Showtime and HBO and just play their original programming
@@athenajaxon2397 Yea I dont know good idea I think there are a ton of options they could play with. Good idea.
We had radio Disney when I was in junior high (25 years ago). I guess it's gone now.
As a testament to the fact that there is just way to much content out there, I haven't seen any of the shows listed. I will say i think that there should be a way for these shows to live, physical media needs a comeback for shows like these
This is how 'The Disney Vault' eventually makes a comeback, right?
Possibly. They could periodically release this content cyclically, especially the popular stuff.
Dollface is such an underrated gem and it's really sad that it's not being continued.
That was a great series. Magic Camp and Roseline are both great movies as well!
I'm currently binging through Pistol to get this show done. But nothing compares to what Willow went through: A show that struggled to find its audience, only getting a few months on the service, just to being unceremoniously dumped from it after ending with a cliffhanger that promised at least two more seasons we will never get to see realized. What a pity. Feel bad for Warwick Davis.
Mysterious Benedict Society is a great kids show. Gave me classic Nickelodeon vibes.
Damn, I was curious about it too
It was genuinely a great show. It deserved every bit of praise. I am so irritated that one of the few new shows my kids all loved just got pulled off the platform. Disney run by lunatics
I would like to also point out that unlike a lot of the things that have been pulled from HBO Max, Disney has not put a lot of what’s being pulled on VOD platforms to buy. While that wouldn’t be as good of a solution as releasing them on physical media (since services can shutdown and licenses can be revoked at anytime), it probably would have at least kept them available in a more cost-effective way as they wouldn’t have to pay huge amounts in residuals just to keep them available (they would just have to pay royalties from the revenue generated). That being said, I wouldn’t be shocked if we see some of what’s being pulled be licensed out to one of the many free ad-supported streaming services.
PlutoTV ftw
I wonder if this will happen much more after the writers strike when studios don’t want to pay royalties
Danny Boyle's show Pistol was one of my favorites of last year. It being removed essentially on it's one year anniversary totally sucks!!
No physical copy either!
Oh-no! The Jeff Goldblum show was amazing!
It's crazy that this happens so much. I can't tell you the amount of time spotify removed songs I love im going to just star downloading and putting it on USB or get physical copies of media I enjoy. Streaming is bad for every industry in terms of legacy and collection.
I’ve been thinking about doing that as well. Especially I listen to foreign indie music
Omg I know right. All streaming has done is really make me interested just buying a physical copy of my favorite stuff, if I can. If I had the space, I'd have already done it for some shows so far. So its a bit of hassle but seems to be worth it in the end.
It's fascinating to watch what I assume is just another temporary stage of the industry figuring out how streaming works, but it's gonna hurt so many people's livelihoods in the meantime. Not just from lack of residuals - the opportunities for future work are shrinking, both from belt-tightening and the looming threat of AI, ready to take a lot of TV and film jobs. God, imagine if we lived in a Star Trek universe where money didn't matter and we could just make and watch all kinds of great stuff.
I barely have time to watch all the UA-cam videos the channels I'm subbed to put out, and there are likely millions of UA-cam channels I've never even watched, it's already mindboggling how much content is made, it would be way worse.
@@roofdogblues7400 True, but they're different experiences. I watch a lot of YT but when I want to watch Ted Lasso or Barry, that's an itch that can't be scratched on the vast majority of UA-cam budgets.
I'm crying in 'Final Space' over the fact media can just be banished/forgotten/abandoned/exiled.
Even worse the creator of that show couldn't even finish his story, and had to beg for scraps to now make a graphic novel to finish it, but they put rules he can't crowdfund or anything. They have the IP, don't put it on anything to be viewed and deny anyone else even the creators to use it.
Things like this just invite more valid reasons to pirate.
Thanks for this, Dan. I had missed the release of the second season of the Mysterious Benedict Society, and you letting me know it was about to removed from the catalogue gave me time to watch it (I did 4 episodes today - 4 to go).
I've had Disney+ since it came out, I had never heard of any of those shows, other than Willow, the Mighty ducks, and the Jeff Goldblum thing, which I did not watch.
I do think that part of the WGA demands should be that if a series is direct to streaming, and then leaves that streaming service, the studio is obligated to make a physical version, or some other alternate delivery option, available to customers. There must always be some version available. The exact qualities of what "the bare minimum" would entail would be up for negotiation, but they should at least be able to offer people a DVD for $15-20. People would still need to seek out these options, so it's not like they'd be selling a bunch of these, but the option should always exist.
Woah...a Sunday release. Must be an urgent update.
Not only did Maggie not get a second season now it’s just gone…the marketing department did that show dirty. Highly underrated. So mad.
Earth to Ned was a hidden gem. Major "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" vibes, and a great showcase of what the Henson company can do beyond the Muppets. Might have to binge it one more time before it disappears!
Dan reading and describing Disney content I wasn't aware of for 10 minutes straight is my ASMR
Thank you for this video! This definitely pointed me to the direction of what shows to watch before I can’t anymore!
Another great breakdown. Dan's the only person I've seen actually describe each show. Some even sounded interesting. And how cool is that "Keep This Between Us" poster?
Fun drinking game: take a shot everyone Dan says “reportedly leaving.”
If I put my conspiracy theory hat on - is this announcement being made now as leverage to try and negotiate the current writers strike and any future negotiations?
Its definitely bad timing, but I dont think this is because of the strike. HBO Max did the same thing either late last year or earlier this year. I think its more likely that streaming probably hasnt proven to be as lucrative as they thought and so they decided to get rid of the shows that arent driving any traffic to their site so they can save paying royalities and nothing more.
Its insane how streaming came by to cut down on piracy, but now piracy will be the primary method to view streaming only shows
Good
It does seem like a bad strategy to do this in the middle of strikes by the WGA and pending strikes by both SAG-AFTRA and the DGA. Now that this is a reality it's going to be something else that will probably be brought up during this round of negotiations instead of down the line when it's time for the contracts to be renewed again. In a way that's good for the unions as it's something they can point to and argue that if it's happening now it'll happen again but it also means another discussion point that could end up drawing the strike out longer.
Always love your thoughts, Dan!
It definitely sucks for the people involved....but I also will say that even before streaming there were movies that went out of print. And so if you wanted to get your hands on one, you'd have to scour ebay for a used copy. So physical media has its problems too. Maybe they'll bring these titles back one day and in the meantime if there's a show you like and will kiss...record a copy of it of it for yourself.
Hi Dan! Thank you for your incisive work! Been following you almost decade I believe. I live in Argentina and we only have regular Disney + platform without Hulu, and I can confirm that every single NatGeo show that you mentioned, has been taken down. Most Disney + shows/original movies have also left the platform, most notably Willow. And this has been done without any prior notice from the platform, the exact opposite of what HBOMax (we still have it here) does. They let you know when a title is leaving and gives you a chance to catch up on it, and I did just that last night (watched Martin MacDonagh In Bruges).
Just another example of rich companies abusing tax loopholes that were made for them to hurt their employees and pad their execs pockets.
I loved The Mysterious Benedict Society! Highly recommend.
It's really good!
It’s craaaaaaaaaaaazy how many of these I haven’t heard of.
Creators: "We will strike if we do not receive more consideration."
Studios: "OK cool, how about we permanently erase your achievements from history and then explicitly promise to spend MORE time figuring out how to replace you with AI?"
Look Dan this is the way it use to be, before physical media, you might get your movie on broadcast once a year if that. Some of those movies were never shown on broadcast if they were not super popular.
And then the marketplace changed. Movies used to play in theaters and then not get seen again for decades. I don’t think a backwards step is what people are looking for.
@@DanMurrellMovies I dont think backward steps are what people are looking for either. But I also dont think its realistic for any streamer to just keep shows on that people are not watching.
Its just really bad management on Disney's part. Bob Iger is forced to make cut throat decisions to make Disney plus profitable.
Its totally silly to keep shows on your channel that no one is watching. No streaming service would do that.
@@user-dp6ve5ng8h i dont why they greenlight so many filler shows.
@@georgehernandez2156 I think alot of it had to do with the pandemic and what was going on at that time. I dont really see any rule where you have to keep every show on your channel that you make. That is a fan thing not a business thing.
It’s not one of their newer movies of course but I’m so sad that Disney got rid of The Sound of Music recently 😢
Not sure why.
Shocked about Willow but since they are not making more seasons I see why.
I think I speak for all of us when I say a striking SAG would be a devastating blow to studio power and it needs to happen
Thé Right Stuff adaptation was pretty good, and served as a great primer ahead of For All Mankind for me…
Besides that and the Goldblum show that is an amazing list of pure garbage… most of that crap won’t even end up dumped on Tubi…
We need a movement to keep Flora & Ulysses! That movie was one of the most pleasant surprises I've ever experienced.
"hosted by a fictional alien"
This being the internet, just as well you made that clear.
I'm so glad that the Streaming portion of charts is a thing now and gives you a chance to expand on some topics. I play a lot of youtube videos in the background as I do housework, but charts helps me immensey to get into a working and writing mood now during my master's thesis. It's like a magic moivator, I appreciate it a lot.
Regarding the deleted content, I find it so weird that on the one hand Disney claims to aim for a wider, four quadrant public, but they delete the content that gives the service some variety for people who don't focus on franchises. If the current capitalist media model had been in place during the times of the Library of Alexandria, they would've caused the fire themselves, is what it feels like.
This is why I'm an advocate for digital media piracy in certain situations.
If Netflix starts removing it's own content from its library, then it's a wrap.
I will bet they do.
I really like Mysterious Benedict society. Dose this mean next season will not come either?
Mysterious Benedict Society was announced to not be renewed for a third season not too long after the second season finished airing.
Are you kidding? That was a truly great show, and everyone knows Disney just cancels everything good after a season or two, never advertises them again, and in this case, erases it from existence.
Of the shows Disney+ is letting go, the Jeff Goldblum show (which I enjoyed) and Willow are the only two you mentioned that I was aware even existed.
This move will cause many more people to fly the flag 🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠
Glad to see more Streaming Charts!! 👍
This is why having shows and movies on DVD / BluRay is so essential, especially in this day and age.
I liked that Jeff Goldblum show. Why I think some shows aren't getting the numbers is because that platform doesn't have a tab, "Reality Programming". That would help tremendously. Noticed that a vast majority of content you mentioned Dan is just that sub genre?
I also enjoyed the concept of that food tower, saw 2 episodes however it would've been more incredible if guests at the Disney hotel or something got to eat the food. I worry about the potential food waste and for what... Just to be shot on film? At least at the end of 'Cake Boss' I got enjoyment watching folks eat the creation at a celebration. Hope they'll consider it for future food shows on Disney +.
the crew typically gets to enjoy the food on most reality shows, after filming. its usually not given to the public because it could sit around for hours while filming, and there are food safety concerns
Thanks for adding the Amazon chart back in the show! This final season of Ms. Maisel has been amazing to watch, surprisingly high production values. Worth a watch!
I guess we aren't getting a second season of The Right stuff :( That was a pretty decent show.
Thanks for this thorough list.
Hold up - they made Flora & Ulysses and yet we still DON'T have Squirrel Girl in the MCU?!? WTF!
This is why I’ll always buy physical copies of movies, if available. Plus, some come with amazing cover art and/or limited edition collectibles!
If it was on dvd/ bluray they'd have a chance 📀 💿
My question though is why were 90% of these shows commissioned in the first place? I know it's difficult to predict what will be a hit but so many of these shows (not all) look like they were only ever filler content. Like they were made so someone could pocket money from Disney. There's so little rhyme or reason to them when everyone is already inundated with content. The truth is, most shows on streaming get most of their views in the first few weeks. If they don't get new seasons then they get lost in the ever growing number of tiles on the menu. Next to no one will miss the majority of these. And this isn't even 10% of what Disney has made in the last few years. Disney needs someone who is much more discerning and has better taste to greenlight their new productions.
Most of them were reality tv or a docu series….often redundant or an indie project
Thanks for adding the Amazon chart! That’s where I normally purchase/rent movies.
I always had a Hulu playlist and it would always happen that I’d go to watch a show and it would just be gone, lol, so this is nothing new for me
I wonder if any of these guild negotiations will include any kind of archive clauses. I'm not sure which guild that would even have to be, but it would be nice to at least have some kind of system in place where all of these shows and movies will be archived in some way so they are at least available in some form in the future and not just because permanently lost media. Even if they just get stored on a hard drive or blu ray and locked in a vault that would be better than them just disappearing forever just in case in 20 years people get nostalgic for 2020s shows and they want to bring them back or something.
Hey Dan, just curious as to why your chart visuals don't specify when a movie/show is making a re-entry vs. a debut onto the chart (especially something like Encanto which constantly bounces in and out of the top ten). Thanks, love your videos!
"Pistol" and "Little Demon" are surprises as they seem to have both been critically popular and have attracted audiences.
The same happens with a lot of underrated films from the last few decades. It’s easy to assume anything is available to stream till the nostalgic itch starts. 😢
I hope Little Demon gets picked up by someone like HBO or max. I loved that show and would sincerely miss not being able to see it anymore!
Amazon might; no one else would
This is why I will never ever sell my physical media.
The muppet mayhem show is fantastic
Hearing how Disney+ & HBO Max are just putting shows & movies into the graveyard never to be seen again is exactly why physical media will always rule above all else, you own it, it’s always there, & you can watch it whenever you’d like :))
Or circumventing drm
20:35; Happy that 'From' as an Epix show has found an audience on Prime Video! It's basically Lost meets Stephen King that's produced by the Russo Bros. Why not move Echo to a Jan/Feb '24 release to give it a bit of breathing room from Loki S2 & The Marvels?! Hulu shows/movies like the acquired Fox movies/shows have long been part of D+ outside of the US under the 'Star' tab!
This is why I have a massive collection of TV and movies on BluRay and hard drives. I'm not giving control of what I can watch on to some corporation.
I imagine that like Zazlav, Disney will make many of those titles to other streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Tubi, etc.). I hadn’t heard of many of them and others just weren’t very good.
This should add another topic to settle during the strike. I think writers and other work groups should strictly demand a minimum streaming time and residual compensations for deleted projects from producers.
I can see why they are removing these shows and movies. Poor ratings and not wanting to pay residuals. Also I’m sure they will rotate some of these shows & movies that will be back for a month.
Some of these content should still be on there for ppl to stumble upon. There have been many Netflix shows that lasted 1 or 2 seasons that I recently discovered and loved. Im also binge watching some docs on Disney+.
Yeah, I was glad to see "The Right Stuff" (and "The Real Right Stuff") when it first came out. It was like watching an extended version of one of my favorite movies. They were also able to go into the more corrupt issues surrounding the astronauts that the original book and movie weren't able to do because six of the Mercury 7 were still alive at the time. The bonus was dramatizing Deke Slayton being told he couldn't go into space. That was a scene I'd always wished was in the movie.
Is it only a matter of time before the more popular titles get removed too? I saw a lot of blasé comments about how "nobody likes that crap, who cares if it gets removed?" And im just thinking, what's to stop these streaming services from removing your favorite titles and not releasing them in physical form?
Well if they start doing that then they will probably get alot of people canceling. They are just removing dead weight.
I remember little demon having so much marketing for it when it came out.
Jeff Goldblum is the only thing leaving I'm literally upset about.
Oh no! Not Willow! 😂
❤❤❤ love the new show. Dan, Does iTunes ever released their ‘box offices’. Do you have anything how much they make approx?
