EU Content Quotas for Streaming Platforms

The European Parliament has voted for new rules requiring on-demand platforms like Netflix and Amazon to feature a 30% quota of European-produced content. The hosts discuss the difficulty of producing enough high-quality content to meet this mandate and joke about starting a production company to create "cheap-ass shitty European content" to fill the gap.

EU Content Quotas for Netflix and Amazon

The European Commission is proposing a 20% quota for European-produced content on streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. The move is intended to "counterbalance the huge glut of US productions" and provide indirect support for the European film industry. The hosts suggest streaming services will likely fulfill this by purchasing cheap, older European catalogs.
