What Happens When Netflix Eats Hollywood?

from Newstalk Daily

Netflix wants to swallow-up Warner Bros — home to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, DC, Barbie and HBO — in a deal so big it would reshape global entertainment. But Paramount has crashed the party with an even bigger hostile bid, dragging in the White House, Hollywood unions, and a swirl of billionaire politics. Prices, choice, cinemas, wages, competition… everything is suddenly up for grabs. Are we heading for a world where three giant companies decide what gets made and what we’re allowed to watch? And does the ordinary viewer even care, as long as The Sopranos streams in 4K? On today’s podcast, Sean Defoe is joined by For Tech’s Sake co-host Elaine Burke to make sense of the battle for Warner Bros, Trump’s looming “involvement,” and why this might be the moment the entire streaming era pivots. Email your thoughts 📩 [email protected] and follow For Tech’s Sake wherever you get your podcasts.
