BONUS EP: Netflix-WBD Panic & Chaos in a Hollywood ‘Looking for Some Answers’


Listen Later

Elaine Low, Natalie Jarvey, Sean McNulty and Lesley Goldberg all gathered Friday morning for a special live episode of Ankler Agenda to break down the repercussions of potentially the most significant piece of show business news this decade: Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. Top-line concerns include:

  • The thousands of lost jobs that will worsen unemployment in the industry — already at Depression-era levels
  • Whether movie theaters can survive the “consumer-friendly” windows Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos referenced in a Friday call with investors
  • Netflix’s potential new arsenal: all-star showrunners (J.J. AbramsGreg Berlanti and Chuck Lorre, to name a few) and a gaming vertical at last
  • Downstream effects on linear syndication
  • The future of the peerless brand HBO
  • “Everybody is just shell-shocked,” Elaine said of the calls and texts she fielded all day. “The main reaction that I’ve been getting is that people are scared. People are nervous.”
