Cordkillers 600: Linear Thinking

About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of Disney's streaming business and the evolving landscape of TV and film content.

Disney’s streaming business looks healthier, while the company argues its old linear networks are better treated as content brands than businesses to spin off. Meanwhile, Netflix has the year’s biggest show so far, AMC is bringing live concerts to theaters, and everyone keeps turning movies and TV into expanded universes.

(708 - "Novel Connection") Next week: Murder, She Wrote (308: "Magnum on Ice") Subscribe, get expanded show notes, and past episodes at http://Cordkillers.com Support Cordkillers at http://Patreon.com/Cordkillers YouTube: https://youtu.be/pP_M6B9iPqg Hosted on Acast.
