Major Mergers and What They Mean for HBO, Disney, & Fox Plus Dressing for the Cannes Film Festival

On today's pod, we catch up on some of the big developments on the entertainment, television, and film landscape. Barrett hosts former collaborator and co-founder of Atomic Productions, Andrew Adams. Barrett and Andrew discuss the major telecom merger between AT&T and TimeWarner and the possible impact it could have on HBO's production, output, and quality. They also touch on the Fox-Disney merger and whether or not Disney will allow Fox to continue making mature or gritty content. In the back half of the episode, Andrew talks about his experience at the Cannes Film Festival and the rigid dress code that favors breezy summer suits and sharp tuxedos.
