Enough Episode 330 (The Furious)

**Scott** (0:23)
Hey, team, welcome back to the movies. Netflix is now $40 a month, what do we think?

**Ryan** (0:32)
I think that it, you know, the more it costs, the worse it gets. So here we are, welcome to America.

**Scott** (0:37)
Just like everything else, gets worse, more expensive. Let's fucking go, folks.

**Cod** (0:44)
I've got a wild idea how they can start saving some money.

**Scott** (0:48)
Don't make so many turkeys?

**Cod** (0:50)
Yeah.

**Scott** (0:53)
Make less wildly expensive stuff for nobody.
It's weird because like years ago, when they first started raising their prices, I feel like everyone was like, sooner or later, Netflix is going to be freaking $40 a month. And now we're there.

**Ryan** (1:08)
Yeah.
The idea that, and everybody's got their, that's not my joke, but like the, you know, this cost this much, this cost this much. And then like there's ads on all of them. That like Joe sent that meme of Seinfeld and it's Peterman. And it's like the very ads that I paid to avoid or whatever. Like it just doesn't stop. They're making everything worse.

**Scott** (1:28)
Yeah. Like they were talking about earlier. They they're all about like growing and Netflix is so big, they can't grow anymore. So their whole thing was like, we don't have ads and that worked well for years. But then they were like, you know what?
I think we need that ad money. So now they do that, and now that's not enough. But they're like, they have nowhere else to go but to just charge people cartoonish amounts of money a month for their not that good service.

**Cod** (1:58)
Well, Scott's right. Ted Sorrento said that they really are so big. Their only opportunity for growth is cracking down or figuring out how to monetize the people who share accounts.

**Scott** (2:10)
Yeah.

**Cod** (2:10)
That's where they're at.

**Ryan** (2:11)
Oh, like the $7.99 olive branch, reverse olive branch rather that they're throwing. Just so you know, if you want your friends on your account, you yourself can pay $7.99 and then they can have an ad version. It's disgusting.

**Scott** (2:26)
I think it's fun that instead of people sitting down and thinking about how to make good movies and shows, they have people sitting around thinking about, how do we get people to stop watching our service at home and at work, and giving the password to anyone that they know and love.

**Cod** (2:42)
What a way to fuck over a friend, huh? Be like, Hank, why don't you enjoy this nice ad version of Netflix on me?

**Ryan** (2:47)
Here you go, pal. Nice freebie. The best to be if you're sharing someone's account already and then the ads just appear.

**Cod** (2:52)
Oh, I'd be so mad.

**Scott** (2:54)
I have the ad version.
And it's like, it's because the service isn't that good. I like to have Netflix still, even though I have the fire stick, which kind of has everything. I like to have Netflix just to see new stuff trickling in because I don't follow like the right news things anymore. So sometimes I'm genuinely surprised when I open Netflix and see what's on there.

**Cod** (3:17)
I recently fired up Netflix last weekend and watched Ladies First, which we'll talk about later.

**Ryan** (3:22)
We're going to hit that again?

**Cod** (3:23)
Yes.

**Ryan** (3:24)
That one out of 10 I liked it, didn't you?

**Cod** (3:27)
I was surprised, you know how I always look at the rankings of most popular television show, most popular movies on their platform. I'm surprised how much not Netflix stuff people are watching on there.

**Scott** (3:39)
Yeah. I mean.

**Cod** (3:40)
Because the only reason I go to Netflix is to watch Netflix crap.

**Scott** (3:44)
I thought it was strange when they started to show like HBO shows, like Ballers showed up on Netflix.
And I was like, I get why you'd want to like unload this on another streaming service. But I think it's just like, they just want to get more eyes on stuff. So they like lease it to. I don't get how any of that stuff works.

**Ryan** (4:05)
Well, the Seinfeld contract is about to run out after. I didn't realize it had only been four-ish years.

**Scott** (4:11)
I love that.

**Ryan** (4:12)
Now it's done.

**Scott** (4:13)
Jerry Seinfeld and LD both make it cool, like $500 million every time that Seinfeld's rights expire, and they have to sell it to a new streaming service.

**Cod** (4:23)
Why doesn't Peacock just lock that up? Isn't it NBC's?

**Scott** (4:27)
You would think that, but I'm sure there's some sort of funny business, that they probably sold it years ago or something. But you're right.
