Show notes

There are suggestions it’s time we do away with TV show intros.We have some numbers around the ‘skip intro button’ - ever since Netflix introduced it in 2017 they estimate that it's pressed about 136 million times per day, saving viewers 195 years in cumulative time.However some argue that without an intro you don't get the build up, the music creates a certain atmosphere, you wouldn't have been able to experience the iconic Simpsons couch scenes.Flicks editor Steve Newall joined Mike Hosking to discuss.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
