We couldn't resist talking about the travesty that is Marvel's Inhumans on ABC, one fo the worst television shows of all time. Also, plenty to discuss between Amazon's Roy Price drama, its neverending spending and The Punisher's release date.

With The Punisher, the release and reception of Netflix's latest Marvel show raises questions around how gun violence is portrayed in media, and it's a conflicting topic. Also, Netflix is spending increasing cash on originals, but can it keep competitors off its heels. And the next Star Wars spin-off has a title, but is it a good one?

And we get into a form of movie viewing we don't normally indulge on this show: Watching them in theatres. Plus, Apple could be doing a new series with Steven Spielberg.

The big fall Apple event was this week, so that sucked up a lot of the air in terms of news. But the Apple TV 4K is interesting from an original content perspective, so we talk about its impact. Also, Amazon Prime Video's strategy shift and we review American Vandal, Netflix's Making a Murderer-style mockumentary.

Amazon has also revealed some big-time talent coming to its programming, including critically acclaimed director Wong Kar-wai, and comedians Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph. But Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos also appears to be exerting more control over what content makes the cut.
