Steven Wahl and Chandler Nunnally love movies!

We've been hearing about the streaming service Quibi for about a year now. If you haven't been following as closely as we have, Quibi is a video streaming platform exclusively for mobile phones that is focusing on short-form video content, specifically shows less than 10 minutes long. Quibi has a ton of support from Hollywood with Steven Spielberg, Kevin Hart, and Jennifer Lopez all producing content. Well Quibi has finally launched and with everyone stuck at home this couldn't be a better time for a new video streaming service to come out. What do we think of Quibi and it's mobile phone exclusive gimmick? That's what we're talking about this week in Act 3. Plus what's next for Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer, and is theater mega-chain AMC going to be able to weather the covid-19 storm? Click play for the answers to all those questions and more!
