In the last week, I've published pieces across: -@EntStrategyGuy's newsletter -@observer -Hub Entertainment Research's (@hubresearchllc) newsletter "Hub Intel" -Greenlight Analytics' data blog Not bad
Very honored and excited to contribute to @EntStrategyGuy's newsletter. Check out my breakdown of Netflix's disappointing summer movie season.
Guest article alert! I’ve wanted to deep dive into Netflix’s miserable movie months, and I called in the incomparable @Great_Katzby to help me out. Check this one out, it’s great! entertainment.substack.com/p/netflixs-sum…

Ride or Die did very well this summer, but it’s been cancelled. I dig into why in my latest Streaming Ratings Report. And tackle one of my biggest archnemeses: over-indexing!!!
This joke made me laugh...

What once was the peak, is now just the beginning. Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first home for
I feel like a TV pitch man in my latest. “Did you buy Warner Bros. and get stuck with a huge pile of debt???? There has to be a better way!” There is… entertainment.substack.com/p/looking-at-t…
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? entertainment.substack.com/p/paramount-wi…
@kasey__moore I mean you know I get tons!
Great analysis from @kasey__moore on the significant issues confronting Netflix and its push into podcasts: their UX isn’t designed for it! whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflix-y…
@David_M_Giles Popular for sure. Believe it had millions of sales before the series. Then obviously even more after. (Also, just saw the typo in the chart, and black is just originals.) And happy to discuss/debate! But yeah, I think Michael Jackson was "popular IP".
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!
@David_M_Giles It's still based on a book, comic book or video game, but not a top tier property. For example, Project Hail Mary is, I believe, the best selling science fiction book this decade, so it was popular. There are plenty of other sci fi books that could be adapated, but aren't popular
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! bookshop.org/categories/m/p…
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. lamaterial.com/p/la-jazz-fest…
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… entertainment.substack.com/p/nope-horror-…
