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. |

The appetite for women’s football in the UK seems to be growing, thanks in no small part to the decision to move coverage of games not shown on linear TV to YouTube. Per The Guardian, numbers are up threefold from last season when fans had to use the extremely clunky FA Player to watch...
Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the crossover between culture, media and sport. The BBC's International Correspondent Jeremy Bowen conducted an interview with the senior Hamas official Khalil Al Hayya on Tuesday, that was broadcast on Thursday. There are arguments both ways as to whether such an interview should take place. If it's done properly, I'm probably in favour of it happening. However, the day the conversation was broadcast just so happened to be the first day of Rosh...
Welcome to The Addition, where I cover the crossover between media culture and sport. Somehow, we’re mid-way through September and hurtling through to the final quarter of 2024. With that in mind, I thought I’d take a look at my predictions from the start of the year to see how I’m doing, and ponder what may happen in the the final three months of the year. First things first, these were my guesses for 2024: At Least Two Streaming Services Will Merge Blogging is Back Elon Musk Will Sell...
