BONUS EP: Sean McNulty & Peter Kafka on Fox Buying Roku and What it All Means

Nothing like a $22 billion deal to start a week, as Fox was revealed as the mystery buyer for the Roku business — furthering Lachlan Murdoch’s company’s diversification from being heavily based in the linear TV ecosystem, to extending strong tentacles in the digital and streaming space.

Plus, Christopher Rosen joins Sean for a Monday Box Office conversation about the … mixed opening for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and what lies ahead, as well as the big drops from opening weekend for Masters of the Universe and Scary Movie — two pictures with vastly different fates at the box office. And, why Universal will still likely win the summer despite the cloudy outlook for Disclosure Day, and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
