014: Hulu Gets a Boost

Content is king, or so we are told all the time. But is it really? Does quality outweigh quantity, and how important is that thought for these new services launching? Amazon picks up some unique shows while Quibi continues to make headlines with their future content lineup. The big story might be a certain brand under Disney ramping up their output for a service under the Disney umbrella that isn't the one everyone is currently talking about. Tony and Dustin discuss all of this and more this time around on this content-focused episode.
