Nut Flix Part 2 (feat. This Machine Kills)
As a continuation of our free episode this week, we brought on Jathan Sadowski (@jathansadowski) and Ed Ongweso Jr (@bigblackjacobin) from This Machine Kills Podcast to discuss the famously sane and healthy workplace culture of Netflix with Riley, Milo, and Alice. Guess what? It's bad. And it's probably coming to your workplace sooner rather than later.

Wait, does that make Netflix upper management the Borgiasie? eh eh? Dumb pun half a year later?

Spencer confidential boney island white fish?
after watching Emily in Paris I found myself wishing for everyone involved in its production to be punished, nice to know my wish was at least partially granted
I hope you only use this power for good
Spencer Confidential episode please
"talent density" is such a wonderful new vocabulary, it sounds like the maximizer endgame involves grinding creatives into a soup-like homogenate. :)
Netflix's equivalent to the Maoist land reforms is causing a spike in suicide rates among Blockbuster branch managers
Blockbuster scum! Class enemies! I denounce them beyond the required amount!
As an academic at a “high-end university” it was gratifying to hear an acknowledgment—however comedic, ironized, whatever—of what it’s like to work in the DSF. I and my colleagues are immensely privileged, and also shat on every single day, in very real ways.
You guys should watch extinction for bonus sometime. It's literally Elon Musk fanfiction with the names changed, in which the Elon stand-in eventually becomes president while also using his 'totally not spacex' rocket business to save the world. It's so bizzare it's fascinating.
Welp, better cancel my Netflix subscription now 😆
