Description

<div>Good show, long show today with the Entertainment Strategy Guy (subscribe to his Substack <a href="https://entertainment.substack.com/">here</a>). I’m going to offer up timestamps here, which I don’t usually do, because there’s a <em>ton</em> of stuff covered in this podcast. <br> <br> Amongst the topics we discussed: Marvel vs. DC in the TV realm (:40); Tulsa King’s status as a surprise hit for Paramount+ (11:40); what the data about Netflix’s second season of <em>Monsters </em>suggests about its completion rate and why that matters (16:06); why horror has a lower streaming ceiling than theatrical ceiling (21:29); Prime Video’s moves into sports and news (30:56); the four horsemen of the media apocalypse (38:41); and a cautious defense of embattled WB-Discovery honcho David Zaslav (56:17).<br> <br> Phew! If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!</div>
