The Cord Cutter Podcast #15: Netflix In October

Welcome to another special bonus edition of The Cord Cutter Podcast! Today, we'll be discussing some of the notable new additions to Netflix in October, as well as going over some of the things that will be leaving the service this month. Netflix has quickly become the streaming service that people turn to when there's nothing they want to want on broadcast TV or cable, and they need something to watch. There are an insane number of options on Netflix, from classic movies and television shows to recent big screen hits and past seasons of current TV favorites and the growing wealth of Netflix originals in film, television shows and comedy specials. And, Netflix subscribers can't get enough.

As such, it's important to keep up with what's new and interesting on Netflix on a regular basis, since each month sees many new shows and movies hit the service, and several older offerings get ripped away from adoring fans. To that end, we'll be doing monthly bonus episodes to help you keep track of what you can (and can't) watch on Netflix when regular television stations let you down. By the way, make sure you bookmark our fall TV premiere guide and Netflix premiere guide so you can keep up with everything coming out in the next few months. Ready to dive in? Great! Read on to get the lowdown on this week's podcast and then listen for yourself above!
