Netflix makes a $72M move to buy Warner Brothers’ streaming division — and then Paramount tries to snatch it with a hostile takeover. In this episode, TV critic and media expert Bill Brioux joins Shane to unpack the corporate chaos, what it means for viewers, and why no one can still find anything to watch.

They dig into the rise and fall of destination TV, the exhausting UX of modern streaming platforms, and why the endless scroll is driving people to ad-supported versions they still hate. Bill explains how the battle between content giants could reshape what’s on our screens — and how.

A candid, cutting, and surprisingly nostalgic look at the future of streaming.
