Should Apple Bother Making Movies?
|
The Addition is having a little break during a chunk of August - not least because I need one! Normal service will resume in a couple of weeks. In typical fashion, there has been a huge amount of media news. Huw Edwards has pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children. Plenty won't like it, but the development is undoubtedly vindication for The Sun, which originally broke the story. I'm not sure my original take got everything right, but it certainly shows how messy everything was and remains. Far more pleasantly, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is now free. He was part of a swap deal that saw other Americans return home too. A win for press freedom and a little light in the dark. I also want to share the latest episode of the TV+ Talk podcast with you. It goes out on the main The Addition podcast feed (Apple Podcasts) (Spotify) and on YouTube. Thanks for all your ongoing support, enjoy your summer and see you soon! In the latest episode of TV+ Talk, Chuck Joiner and I discuss the prospect of Apple TV+ buying movies to bulk up its catalogue. We also disagree on whether the service should just focus on TV shows and not bother much with films. |
