This week join Jonathan as he provides a bite-sized portion of Inside the Box on the topic of the changing forms of nostalgia. He briefly discusses yesterday’s TV reunion industry, how it looked and happened versus today’s Netflix-based reunion programs and soft reboots. This topic is both silly and serious as it looks at the type of escapist, comfort-food TV that today beccomes not a singular, ephemeral event, but a standardized and pre-configured ongoing business strategy.
