ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Cordkillers 618: Your Privacy Is on Clearance

How cheap does a TV have to be before you stop asking what it knows about you? LG denies recording ambient conversations for ad targeting, but its other tracking practices leave plenty to discuss. Plus, Apple TV and Jean Smart clean up at the Emmys, streaming giants team up to lobby Washington, and AWS wants to put ten live feeds on one screen. Netflix prepares to share box-office numbers, IMDb makes room for digital creators, and a possible Get Smart reboot arrives with suspiciously good timing.

This week on The FULL Experience: The Nude Bomb

Next week: Battlestar Galactica (101 - "Saga of a Star World")
