You Oughta Be in Pictures

If the internet killed the mall, then maybe it makes sense that malls would be renting out all that empty space to the internet. The first Netflix House opens its doors on November 12th. “These real-world manifestations of Netflix’s intellectual property span ‘more than 100,000 square feet.’ They’re free to enter, offering a mix of complimentary and paid experiences centered around shows like Wednesday, Squid Game, and Stranger Things. (I thought the whole point of Netflix was that it meant never having to leave the house. Real world, tactile, participatory experiences? Maybe I’d be more interested if they could get DoorDash to deliver that.)
