Netflix Deal, Cave Documentary & Eurovision Chaos
Faraz Osman and Mike Christie join Matt Deegan
Netflix has made what’s being called the biggest media deal of the decade - buying Warner Bros’ studios arm for an undisclosed sum. But Paramount isn’t taking this lying down, launching a hostile counter-bid that could reshape the entire streaming landscape. Gold Wala MD Faraz Osman joins to dissect what this seismic week means for consumers, cinema-goers, and the rest of us caught in the middle.
We’re covering how talking to filmmaker Mike Christie how he made a documentary about the enigmatic Nick Cave, why Red Bull’s space jump changed branded content forever, and how Disney’s investment in OpenAI might be the start of something much bigger.
Also on the show, Golden Globes adding podcast categories for the first time, Channel 4 poaching a new chair from Sky, and why Eurovision is having its own identity crisis.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we catch up with the media transfer window - tracking all the executive moves, departures, and surprise appointments that have shaped the industry this week.
