Disney is exploring user-generated AI content on Disney+, hinting at a major shift in how the service handles creativity. Meanwhile, new trailers, renewals, and franchise updates fill out a busy week in streaming and entertainment.
Disney CEO Bob Iger says Disney+ will let users create and consume mostly short-form user-generated content, potentially including AI-generated videos and games.
The guys gear up for Taxi next week, marvel at how little they actually remember from the show, and take a detour through shared-universe easter eggs, Stephen King geography, and the existential crisis of algorithmic feeds. Amos shouts out fellow veterans on Veterans Day, Tom ponders what his TikTok says about his soul, and Brian breaks down the fine line between revealing magic and ruining it.
