Feedback

I'm happy that one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Supernatural, is available for instant streaming on Netflix. Along with being a show about two brothers criss-crossing the country fighting monsters, it also has a repeated theme of having classsic rock songs for it's soundtrack. From AC*DC to Def Leppard to Boston, the show loves to use 70s and 80s rock. I'm such a huge fan of the show that I have seen the original aired episodes and even owned a few seasons of the DVDs but I'm noticing on the streaming version that classic rock songs are replaced by generic, unrecognized tunes. Does Netflix not able to get the musical rights to certain recording artists for the shows they stream instantly?

Have you guys ever considered adding a segment for the cord cutters focusing on alternative content? Too often cord cutting is about how to get ""standard programming"" (network & cable shows) without a cable subscription. What about alternative programming? This is especially true for niche programming:

A few episodes ago Brian said that he thought the way of the future was that Hollywood blockbusters would be a thing of the past. I think this past weekend only proved him more wrong with what we saw the Avengers do. Blockbusters are the only movies people really come out to see in droves. Blockbusters are what helps the rest of the movies even get made. I think the blockbuster is here to stay.

Love the show,

Josh
