Description
Welcome to Cordkillers! The world of entertainment has turned upside down and we're just trying to find out how to watch what we want, where we want, whenever we want.
This week: Bob Iger looks back on Disney’s biggest moves, including Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Fox — plus the James Bond deal that got away, the Twitter deal he almost made, and the Apple merger conversations that didn’t go far. Comcast is splitting into two companies, Peacock Premium Plus comes to YouTube Primetime Channels, Netflix profiles now need unique email addresses, Toy Story 5 breaks Tuesday box office records, the DOJ seizes World Cup piracy domains, and California’s loud streaming ad law takes effect July 1.
