> Last year, I bought a MoviePass t-shirt from the company’s merch site in anticipation of just this event. I’m going to wear it tomorrow.

You can probably sell it to the HBO prop dept for next season of Silicon Valley for $$$$$

Apropos this shutdown, Silicon Valley is also shutting down and its last season is slated to premier October 27, 2019.

I was interning at Mozilla the summer it premiered and watched the S1 finale in a bar in SF... it was harder than you'd think to find a spot. Apparently it hit a little too hard with some folks :)

In what context would they want to have a character wearing swag from a defunct startup? (I've only seen up to midway through season 3 btw.)

Wouldn’t have to be a plot point. Could just be a funny in-joke for the right character.

But which existing character and joke?

Probably the guy with the car and the doors. He can give more "wisdom" like this "wisdom" while wearing it:

(To be clear the joke is he's a moron but everyone listens to him because he has money)
