The Death Of Click-Bait

It's Halloween so Richard and Marina explore horror and why it is the most bankable genre at the box office and is continuing to thrive.

Reach is a huge media company you might not be familiar with, but you will see their content as they own over 240 local media titles. With that comes the need for a lot of content. Does their reach mean even worse news for local journalism?

Finally we need to mention the C-word... Christmas. Hallmark has announced a raft of new Christmas movies including a tie in with The Kansas City Chiefs.... aka the NFL team Taylor Swift's boyfriend plays for. Richard and Marina explain why this is another example of companies being clever with their content, and why Hallmark are so good at Christmas.

National treasure Michael Parkinson has a new podcast, but how will a man who died in 2023, be brought to life for it? Richard has the inside track on the AI used, the ethical considerations, and the sensitivities that have gone into the project.

If it has escaped your attention, there will be a new leader of the free world this week as America takes to the polls. Marina gives us the history of how entertainment has shaped the US election coverage.

Lastly as linear TV continues to decline, some new data has emerged as to what we are consuming in its place and how it's changing what we expect from our entertainment.
