Before I log off for the year, wanted to say thank you to everyone who subscribes! We just passed a big milestone on Substack and are so appreciative of all our followers, subscribers, and supporters.
In Part I of my analysis of the strategy behind the Paramount merger I ignore the cost/price of the deal, and just weigh the good and the bad. Where is Paramount Skydance Warner Bros Discovery a market leader and where isn’t it?

Great analysis from @kasey__moore on the significant issues confronting Netflix and its push into podcasts: their UX isn’t designed for it!

I can’t look at this chart of all the films from 2021-2026, based on whether they’re based on IP or Not, and come to the conclusion that audiences don’t like IP. And this chart predates The Odyssey and Spider-Man 4!
Here’s the NFL’s games by start time. Obviously, when sports come on early in the morning, less people watch them.
And here’s a fun fact: the Australia game starts at 10:30AM on a Friday there.
Want to shout out @HarrisFootball and his new book Pound Foolish (which I’ve bought) for making a few bestseller lists. He’s my favorite fantasy football analyst and I’m excited to read!
Dunno how long it'll last, but if you go to the Bookshop best-sellers page, POUND FOOLISH is listed in the third row of *ALL* best-sellers on the site!

It's not a good movie. But in spots, it's a good NIN music video.
I'm sorry, I am going to need to speak to @EntStrategyGuy's manager since it should be known that @AlyssaRosenberg, @petersuderman and I panned TRON: ARES *completely fairly* as it was a terrible movie.

This @LAMaterialNews article on how the LA Jazz Festival fell apart is fascinating.
Been loving their local LA coverage.

Horror just doesn’t do great on streaming, especially compared to its theatrical successes.
The data in my latest!
Plus, a rare sports misfire for Netflix…

A fun contradiction kicks of my latest, epic deep dive:
Horror films aren’t nearly as profitable as superhero films. That said, horror films are very profitable compared to superhero films.
How can both things be true? I explain in my latest...

I just discovered LA Material, a new-ish LA-focused news website, and I’m loving what they’re putting out. Like this investigation into bogus street sweeping tickets. @LAMaterialNews @juliaturner @sherlyholmes

Another great chart...
Is this one long? Yes. Very long? Very yes
But I review EVERYTHING about Obsessions, Backrooms, Mando & Grogu and the state of theaters in 2026. YouTubers, Horror, IP, A24, superheroes.
With over 20 charts and tables.

Original films are taking over.
Here's a chart. All films grossing over $200M since 2021. By "IP Type".
