It's a major Hollywood drama: Despite striking a deal with Netflix, the high-stakes bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery shows no sign of cooling off. The company turned down a renewed offer from Paramount of $30 a share, signaling a continued preference for the Netflix deal. Thing is, the transaction will likely draw close regulatory scrutiny from the Trump administration. But first: messy economic data and a deal to buy TikTok's U.S. operations.

They all float down here. Now that It: Welcome To Derry, the prequel to Andy Muschietti's It Chapter One and It Chapter Two, has finished its eight-episode run, the Empire Podcast has teamed up with Warner Bros. to bring you a special episode in which Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, and James Dyer conquer their fears of clowns, spiders, and spider-clowns just long enough to talk about the Andy Muschietti/Barbara Muschietti/Jason Fuchs-created show, its Stephen King connections, its brand new characters, its setting (1962 Derry, Maine), and, of course, Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise, The Dancing Clown, who's back for another bout of bloody mayhem. While not a spoiler special, our very own Losers Club do delve into the show's major twists and turns, so if you haven't seen all eight episodes, they're available to buy now on digital platforms, or you can pre-order them on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K UHD or steelbook from warnerbros.co.uk

The show kicks off with talk of a Rams watch party and whether the team is truly legit this season. There’s also a local heads-up for Cerritos residents about rising sewage fees, along with practical advice on which bills you should never skip—spoiler: pay your water bill. Michael Monks joins in with his unique take on downtown LA, offering a darkly humorous “weathervane” observation from Skid Row that signals the arrival of winter. The conversation also touches on Burbank’s decision not to pursue litigation over Warner Bros.’ sale to Netflix. Conway then shares memories of his former partner Doug Steckler, including why Steckler despised New Year’s and a hilarious story involving the “Husky section” at Montgomery Ward—one of many classic Steckler moments. The episode wraps with Eric Lisardo’s special “Conway Christmas” segment featuring the signature “Dinga DONGA,” updates from Nick Reiner, and commentary from a defense lawyer weighing in on who hired attorney Alan Jackson.

We start with breaking corporate news as Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to reject Paramount's latest acquisition offer, choosing instead to move forward with its $82.7 billion Netflix deal. If finalized, Netflix would gain control of Warner Bros. Games, including massive IP like Mortal Kombat, DC, Harry Potter, and more. We discuss whether Netflix will license these franchises out—or finally go all-in on games—and what this could mean for the future of AAA development. Next, we look at alarming new data showing US hardware sales and physical game spending just hit their worst November in 30 years. Despite heavy Black Friday promotions, record-high console prices dragged sales down, even as PS5 emerged as the best-selling console for the month. We break down what this says about the future of physical games, hardware pricing, and consumer behavior. Then we tackle the ongoing AI controversy in game development, as Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responds forcefully to backlash over AI usage following The Game Awards. Vincke makes it clear: artists are not being replaced. We discuss where AI fits responsibly in modern game development—and where players are drawing the line. The episode also covers Bungie's major Marathon update, including a March 2026 release date, revamped visuals, deeper PvE, hardcore gameplay shifts, solo playlists, expanded weapon mod systems, and new lore teases. After months of controversy, Bungie appears to be rebuilding trust—so we ask: Is Marathon finally back on track? And can it stand alongside competitors like Arc Raiders? Plus, listener questions and reactions on Bungie, PlayStation strategy, and shooter fatigue.

Plus: The U.S. approves more than $11 billion in arms sales to Taiwan. And, Warner Bros. demands Larry Ellison's give a personal guarantee to backstop Paramount's takeover bid. Luke Vargas hosts.

【聊了什么】 关注Netflix历史的人都知道，这是一个几乎不参与大型收购的科技公司，而它却突然出手，提出高价收购华纳兄弟探索集团（WBD）这样一家体积庞大、历史悠久的传奇制片厂，究竟是要拯救它，还是毁了它？ 本期节目为《硅谷101》与《美轮美换》《去现场》串台节目，小华和《美轮美换》的老朋友、《去现场》的主播杨一，和《硅谷101》的两位主播Yiwen和Jinpeng一起，共同分析这场戏剧性的收购。我们录制的时间是12月7日，也就是派拉蒙提出敌意收购前一天。所以我们大部分的讨论，都是以Netflix为核心的，包括这家刻满了硅谷基因的公司为什么决定涉足传统媒体，以及它为什么胜过了其他竞争对手。不过，我们的嘉宾也在录制过程中提到了，派拉蒙很有可能会提出敌意收购，而目前WBD依然向自己的股东推荐接受Netflix的报价。 欢迎关注《硅谷101》与《去现场》。 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 本期节目主播和嘉宾： 【主播】 Yiwen：硅谷101特约研究员 Jinpeng：硅谷101特约研究员 【嘉宾】 小华，媒体人，《美轮美换》主播 杨一，旅英媒体人，播客《去现场》主播 【监制】 泓君 【后期】 AMEI 【运营】 朱婕 【在这里找到硅谷101】 公众号：硅谷101 收听渠道：Apple Podcast｜Spotify｜小宇宙｜喜马拉雅｜蜻蜓FM｜荔枝FM｜网易云音乐｜QQ音乐 其他平台：YouTube｜Bilibili 搜索「硅谷101播客」 联系我们：podcast@sv101.net 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 03:37 Netflix有选择的收购，出于哪些考虑？ 04:51 电视新闻网，烫手山芋 07:39 猝不及防的官宣，好莱坞也在意料之外 10:29 广告、密码与进军体育：不是第一次做颠覆性变革的Netflix 13:55 特朗普插手？收购面临的监管挑战 16:02 好莱坞与消费者的实际担忧 17:50 院线电影的未来 22:12 Netflix会颠覆自己的流媒体为主的商业模式吗？ 24:34 吸纳大量华纳IP后，Netflix下一步棋如何走？ 25:08 HBO Max何去何从？ 30:23 疲于竞争，流媒体平台的瓶颈期 34:07 从《鱿鱼游戏》到《K-Pop猎魔女团》，继续外探国际市场 35:34 Netflix如何赢下收购战的？ 36:18 恼羞成怒，David Ellison的下一步 39:19 华纳兄弟的CEO，笑到最后的赢家 42:45 不断转型，华纳过去动荡的几年 44:50 权力关系另一边，迪士尼会焦虑吗？ 49:52 华纳的主题乐园，Netflix如何处置 【 What We Talked About】 Anyone who follows the history of Netflix knows it is a tech giant that almost never participates in large-scale acquisitions. So, why has it suddenly stepped up with a premium bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD)—a massive, historic, and legendary studio? Is Netflix stepping in to save this legacy institution, or will this deal lead to its downfall? This episode is a special crossover between “硅谷101” (Silicon Valley 101), “美轮美换,” and “去现场.” Join host Xiaohua, Yang Yi from “去现场,” and Yiwen and Jinpeng from “硅谷101” as they break down this dramatic takeover. Note: We recorded this on December 7th, one day before Paramount launched its hostile takeover bid. Therefore, our discussion focuses primarily on Netflix—why a company with Silicon Valley DNA decided to venture into traditional media and how it outpaced its competitors. Even though a Paramount bid was anticipated during our recording, WBD continues to recommend the Netflix offer to its shareholders. 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 03:37 Selective Acquisitions: What are Netflix's strategic considerations? 04:51 TV News Networks: A "hot potato" in the deal? 07:39 A sudden announcement that caught Hollywood off guard. 10:29 Ads, password sharing, and the move into sports: Netflix is no stranger to disruptive change. 13:55 Will Trump intervene?

US equity futures point to a mixed open, with Asian markets mostly lower and European equities trading slightly higher. Today focus is on continued risk aversion in US equities. Moreover, the global rate backdrop remains a headwind as markets digest a hawkish tilt in central bank expectations, with investors increasingly focused on upcoming US inflation data and jobless claims for confirmation on whether policy easing can resume next year. In addition, corporate developments remained in focus as Micron guided above expectations and lifted medium-term capital expenditure plans tied to HBM demand, offering selective support to memory-related names but failing to offset broader concerns around AI monetization, positioning fatigue, and elevated valuations.Companies Mentioned: OpenAI, Warner Bros. Discovery, lululemon athletica

We discuss how the Netflix vs. Paramount, Warner Brothers merger will lead to media monopolies, their motives behind acquiring Warner Brothers. We learn about Kalshi, a predictive marketing app that wants to monetize "differences in cultural opinion", and their partnership with CNN.

In our first segment, we talk to organizers of March for Mumia on marching for better conditions for the incarcerated elderly and freedom for Mumia, a former Black Panther. In our second segment, we talk about media monopolies forming with Warner Brothers being bought out and predictive markets. In our third segment, we talk to Reverend Billy and Savitri D. from the Church of Stop Shopping Choir on their new show, AI and returning to our humanity.

The world lost a great director this week, and its not gonna be the same without him. We've got two weeks of stories to cover, The Game Awards got swept, and also gave us to Star Wars game announcements. The Golden Globes are set, and will the Bear be dethroned by The Studio? The Warner Bros and Netflix saga has begun, despite Paramount's eagerness, CCXP brought the trailers, and Wake Up Dead man dropped on Netflix. Come take a listen.

Warner Bros. Discovery rejects a massive hostile takeover bid, choosing a safer-backed Netflix deal and setting up a high-stakes shareholder showdown. In a historic shift, the Oscars announce they’re leaving broadcast TV for YouTube, signaling a major turning point for Hollywood and live events. The hour also explores why Gen Z says bad holiday gifts can be relationship deal-breakers — and wraps with a cosmic mystery as astronomers track a wobbling interstellar object behaving in ways never seen before.

Some guys can't take a hint. After half a dozen proposals and a hostile bid, Paramount Skydance got a definitive “no means no” from Warner Bros. Discovery's board this week. Elaine Low and Sean McNulty break down how the tables turned on suitor PSKY, what this means for the timeline of a Netflix-Warner Bros. merger and the wild payouts David Zaslav and the WBD C-suite are getting regardless of what happens.

Er woedt een overnamestrijd in de filmwereld. Zowel Netflix als Paramount azen op mediabedrijf Warner Bros. Enkele dagen na het opnemen van deze podcast lijkt de voorkeur van aandeelhouders uit te gaan naar het bod van Netflix. Dr. Dan Hassler-Forest, universitair docent aan de Universiteit Utrecht, gespecialiseerd in popcultuur, media-industrieën en films, vertelt waarom deze strijd ertoe doet. Volgens Hassler-Forest beïnvloedt de monopoliepositie van mediabedrijven de filmindustrie. Minder ruimte voor creativiteit en meer politieke druk. Hoe dat precies werkt? Ligt hij toe in de Jortcast.

Nearly a century ago, after years of investors on a champagne high and warning signs ignored, a stock market crash led to a descent into a global depression. Andrew Ross Sorkin, a New York Times financial journalist and author of the bestseller 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History—and How It Shattered a Nation, joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R.

“I will say, as someone who has auditioned hundreds and hundreds, if not over a thousand, voiceover artists and listened to very talented people doing the same take over and over again, the recording quality, the sound quality, absolutely matters. And it's an immediate… There are so many people for me where it's an immediate ‘no,' because the moment I hear the sound quality and it's not totally up to a pro level, I assume tons of things about that.” – Wil Seabrook This episode's guest is a former Warner Bros recording artist and the founder of two award-winning creative agencies, and he's produced over 8,000 videos and commercials for some of the world's biggest and most successful companies. His name is Wil Seabrook, and this week we'll be talking about how sound design affects his creative process, what people should keep in mind about sound when it comes to their own projects, and what role he sees AI playing in the short and long term when it comes to sounds of all sorts.

(0:00:01) - Musicians' Early Sound Influences and JourneysAs our conversation starts, Wil recall his earliest memories of sound, and the impression that hearing a Simon & Garfunkel song made on both him and his parents. “I came home from preschool,” he recalls, “and I was talking to my mother, and I kept saying Funkle, Funkle. She's like, ‘what the heck are you talking about? You want a pencil?' And she finally figured out that I wanted to listen to Simon & Garfunkel.” He talks about his early career as a musician, some of his missteps along the way and how he's helped his son avoid them, and how social media has transformed the music scene. “I think the rise of social media,” he says, “the way things have changed in the last ten, fifteen years, you just realize what an incredible amount of talent there is in the world… now you can just sit down with your phone and a guitar and make a beautiful noise and inspire people, and I do think that part's neat.”(0:08:57) - The Power of Music in CommunicationThe discussion continues as Wil talks about his shift from working with Fortune 500 companies to helping small businesses establish their brand, and the different approach it requires. “It's a much more emotional journey,” he explains. “But I get to be more helpful with more things. I'm not just creating content, I'm helping them put it out into the world, improve their business, and I find that fun and engaging.” He also offers some firsthand advice to voice actors who might find themselves frustrated with the auditioning process. “Don't automatically assume that you did something wrong,” he tells us, “or that you've made a mistake, or that you're not talented, or that you're not doing everything right. You could do everything right and still not be the person who gets...
