If I’m not mistaken it was only a couple of weeks ago when I first brought up this new short-form streaming service called Quibi and shared the Official Trailer for one of its shows with our post about “Most Dangerous Game”. Clicking HERE will show you the trailer post and now I can share that this new network and means of being entertained is live to be enjoyed by those who wish to sign up. Below you’ll find the poster, premise and casting so take a look. Maybe it will inspire you to download the service.
The Premise:
Suffering from terminal brain cancer and with his family’s future unclear, Detroit everyman Dodge Tynes accepts an offer from a charming businessman named Miles to participate in a big game hunt in which Dodge himself is the prey.
The Cast:
Liam Hemsworth as Dodge Tynes
Sarah Gadon as Val
Christoph Waltz as Miles Sellars
Zach Cherry as Looger
Chris Webster as Nixon
Billy Burke as Reagan
Jimmy Akingbola as Carter
Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Kennedy
Patrick Garrow as LBJ

About Quibi: Quibi (/ˈkwɪbi/ KWIB-ee) is an over-the-top American short-form streaming platform that generates content for viewing on mobile devices. It was founded in August 2018, in Los Angeles, as NewTV by Jeffrey Katzenberg and is led by Meg Whitman, its CEO.
PiercingMetal Thoughts: So I’ve decided not to download this service onto my phone and its mostly based on this brand-new virus that keeps getting worse and worse if you can trust the daily news briefs. Sure the self-quarantine process is finding many of us with more time to sit and watch content but when you host not only one but two websites, there is much to keep the readership informed of. I’ve already documented no less than a dozen cancellations and postponements across the two websites. This does look interesting to me but I don’t wish to commit and forget to cancel and end up being billed for a couple of additional months. That happened to me with CBS All Access. What about you? Are you interested in this method of storytelling and will be downloading the app? Chime in down below in the comments section and please be safe out there during this questionable time.
PS: I made a hopefully useful bunch of notions that will make this quarantine time a potentially productive one if you are looking for some things to distract you. Read that over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” by clicking HERE.
