Hollywood’s New Power Couple; GOOOOOAL! The Groups Are In!
Description
It’s a Hollywood shake-up for the ages. Netflix’s merger with Warner Bros. Discovery is officially a go. The streamer is spending $82.7 billion to acquire Warner Bros.’ massive movie, TV and streaming portfolio, one of the largest entertainment mergers in modern history. The deal pairs Netflix’s disruptor DNA with a 102-year-old Hollywood heavyweight, blazing a trail for how a streaming pioneer blends with a legacy studio. Mike Calia, the managing editor for business and the economy at NBC News, joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to break down what this blockbuster deal means for the future of entertainment. Plus: It’s the day soccer fans have been waiting for nearly four years. It’s the FIFA World Cup draw. It’s the largest tournament in competition history, with 48 teams now competing to hoist that golden trophy. Where did your country place? What are the potential upsets? Is there a ‘Group of Death’? Oh, and what is the draw anyway? The host of the Men in Blazers podcast, Roger Bennett, joins the podcast.
