It's really more of a spiritual sequel...

Are the kids getting into tapes because of Taylor Swift?

What is “second screen” content?

Will Killers of the Flower Moon ever get a physical release?

Is there a need for movie takedown posts? Not critical reviews but social media that just shits on other peoples work.

What did you call your video tape player back in the day? VHS player? VCR? Tape Machine?

Russ and Zach delve into these questions and of course, much much more in this special extended episode of the Emerald City Video Podcast.

In this episode Russ Burlingame and Zach Roberts chat about the drawbacks of streaming media, the fact that directors are getting angry about how their films look on streaming apps, award-winning director of The Godfather not being able to find a home for his new film and so much more.

Part two of this episode will be dropping this week, so listen up kids!

Just some of the stories we’re chatting about, some of these we’ll get to in part 2:
