MacVoices #25237: TV+ Talk - Most Watched Apple TV+ Content

Charlotte Henry and Chuck Joiner dig into JustWatch data on August's most-watched Apple TV+ series (Chief of War, Foundation, Invasion) and films (The Gorge, Killers of the Flower Moon). They compare Apple TV+ value vs. Netflix, bundles, and "background TV." The conversation includes Apple funding riskier originals (Spike Lee/Denzel), box-office vs. streaming strategy, and a new James Corden/Ruth Jones comedy deal.
