On Too Old To Die Young & The Current State of Movies vs Television

Instead of reviewing Too Old To Die Young, the new Amazon Prime series from Drive director Nic Winding Refn, Dom wanted to use this opportunity to discuss the current state of storytelling in the streaming era, and how our relationship with consuming content has evolved from the old paradigm. Ever since Twin Peaks: The Return, the argument of what is a movie and what is television has raged in cinephile circles, so this week, as a bonus video, you can watch Dom go long on a complicated subject in a pretty uncut manner.

This video talks about Twin Peaks, Too Old To Die Young, Chernobyl, When They See Us, the MCU, shitty Adam Sandler movies, and much, much, more. Give it a spin and be sure to hit up the comments section after as a lot of this is sure to spark some debate.
