Welcome to the 29th edition of The Cord Cutter Podcast! Well folks, there are just a few days left in 2017 and it's been a banner year for those who love streaming entertainment. Original shows, specials and movies made just for streaming services are at an all time high, and since the year is almost over, we had to give our thoughts on the best in streaming for 2017! This week, you can join Mick, Adrienne and their guest, CinemaBlend TV Editor Nick Venable, as they go over their picks for the best in streaming this year, and reveal what CinemaBlend staffers thought was the top in streaming.
