Netflix x Warner Bros.: The Merger That Might Break Hollywood

This week on The Overshare Pamphlet, I’m diving into the wild news that Netflix has won the bid to buy Warner Bros. The deal isn’t government-approved yet, but the fallout has already started — and honestly, it could change Hollywood in some pretty alarming ways.

I break down how Warner Bros. ended up here, why Netflix wants this massive IP library so badly, and the huge antitrust concerns being raised by senators, unions, and major directors. I also get into what this merger could mean for theaters, smaller studios, streaming prices, and the future of movies as we know them.

You’ll also hear my Songs of the Week — from Demi Lovato to Jesse Jo Stark, Elle Coves, and yes… my full Michael Bublé era — plus a quick shoutout to this week’s sponsor, AKILA. I’m giving Spotify listeners an exclusive 1o% off their entire order. https://akila.la/discount/OVERSHAREPAMPHLET

Let me know your thoughts: Is Netflix buying Warner Bros. exciting, terrifying, or both?
