About this episode

Nicky discusses the implications of a $100 billion bidding war in Hollywood with Senator Elizabeth Warren.

A massive $100 billion bidding war between Paramount and Netflix for Warner Brothers is shaking up the film industry , raising alarms about monopolies economics. This potential consolidation could severely impact hollywood business by violating antitrust policy and challenging existing market regulation. This would depress wages for actors, directors, PAs, producers, and ANYONE who works in the film industry. Not only that, it will increase the subscription prices of these services!!!I had the opportunity to sit down with Senator Elizabeth Warren to talk about these monopolies, how it will impact the people working in film, and how this could have rippling effects in other industries trying to do more corporate consolidation#elizabethwarren #entertainmentindustry #democrats #netflix #warnerbros
