Chris Ryan

Yeah, but I do wonder whether that's a little bit like, yeah, that's right, Mark Cuban, you can still be the governor.

You know, like... Right, right, right.

At what point does Taylor Sheridan start offloading some of those shows to, like, protégés or people who are, like, now writing Mayor of Kingstown or Y. Marshalls or whatever?

And he starts to go to work at least somewhat on his Peacock stuff.

The fact that Comcast got Taylor Sheridan makes me think that Comcast thinks...

their major players for another 10 years.

Buying the NBA rights, having the Olympics, getting Taylor Sheridan, that makes me think that they are really like going, they're going to go after, I think they're really going after those Warner assets.

But don't you think at a certain point that just becomes tiles on Disney Plus?

Like, won't they want to choose one?

Yeah, and it's a question of whether or not... For instance, Sean and Amanda were talking about this today.

If Netflix were to buy Warner Brothers, do they still commit to the way of releasing movies?

Or if they were to buy Warner Brothers, do they also buy HBO?

Are they buying the HBO brain trust?

And HBO becomes basically a tile on Netflix?

I don't know how that stuff works.

I don't see it.

Netflix has never bought anything.

So you think they're just doing their due diligence?

I also think TV is getting back to being TV again post-COVID, post-strikes, which is really worth keeping in mind when we say the sky is falling is that a lot of people's changing relationships to television was in fact a ripple effect of COVID and the strikes.

That's where the three years in between seasons starts coming in.
