Summary

Mitch Lowe, an early Netflix executive, has an extreme proposal for how to get more people into seats at movie theaters: Let them come to all the showings they want for about the price of a single ticket each month.  His new company, MoviePass, is offering a movie ticket subscription for $9.95 a month, which will allow customers get in to one movie theater showing every day.  With so many movies coming out, there's no reason not to sign up.   Follow Jeffy on Twitter: @JeffyMRALike Jeffy on Facebook: www.facebook.com/JeffFisherRadioFollow Jeffy on Instagram: @jeffymra Learn more about your ad choices.
