My wife is a huge Summer I Turn Pretty fan.

That'll be big.

But I think that they... This is almost indicative of what I'm talking about, where they're playing to the idea that everybody's going to be off work and will have time to watch five hours or six hours of Stranger Things over the course of a night or two.

Whereas before, we would just be like, no, do the one hour on a Sunday night so that we can talk about it all week.

Yeah, but this has been the Netflix conundrum for 10 years.

But it's like, even if they put Stranger Things out on a normal media schedule, if it had dropped two weeks ago, you would have just had so much more coverage of it.

I think people will cover Stranger Things a lot, but they're kind of circumventing the talking about it part.

Yeah.

And then you get shows like Task was perfect.

Perfect.

And then every once in a while you get like adolescence, you know, where it's just like out of nowhere, somehow everybody is talking about this show that's been on Netflix for a couple of days and everybody watches it.

But they crucially didn't make that into an eight-episode show.

Right.

They were like, we're going to tell a very contained story here.

I thought the marketing of it was really interesting, too.

Oh, yeah.

You're like, ah, fuck.

And now you're like, I feel like I'm already really behind on awards movies.

And the TV stuff I'm on top of, but it still is like, it's piling up for sure.

Pretty much after Stranger Things, Fallout's coming out and then the rest of the year is pretty quiet.
