Rob and I talk economics today - with so much uncertainty and volatility in the markets this week, it's top-of-mind. What do collapsing market valuations mean to the future of streaming and the viability of so many of the programs we love and care about?

Those are valid questions. And while 45 minutes isn't enough time to even begin an in-depth conversation that could lead to some interesting debates about business, finance, filmmaking and monetary policy - it is enough time for us to touch on some of the fundamental drivers behind the collapse of Netflix's stock price over the last few weeks.

As you can imagine, some of the rationale behind the decline in share price is warranted due to economic, geopolitical and practical concerns. But a good bit of it is old-fashioned "piling on" by other players in the entertainment business.

It makes for an entertaining discussion, at the very least.

I'll be writing more about all this on the ROADTRIPPIN' blog later today (and will probably post it this evening). You can check it out on our website: https://postgeeksingularity.com/roadtrippin-with-rmb/
