Abrams, the list goes on.

Yeah, but the real concern here is about media consolidation.

40 years ago, there were 50 major companies that were controlling the media, and now the media is controlled by six corporations.

Larger corporations means that smaller studios may have a harder time breaking into the space.

But is that a bad thing?

Wider distribution means more power for each company, which means that one company censoring or skewing the media could reach a wider population.

However, advocates of media consolidation say that the massive scale that these companies reach mean they can cut costs efficiently and weather financial downturns more easily, making sure that you still get the next season of Love Island.

Yeah, I really had no interest in seeing this movie, and I actually watched Toy Story 5 this weekend instead.

It did great.

And this is a really surprising misstep from Disney, but it does have an interesting backstory.

So apparently Moana 2 was actually slated to be a television series on Disney+.

presumably to attract more subscribers to that platform.

But it was transformed into a blockbuster movie when executives saw early footage and when the media giant decided maybe to shift their strategy to prioritize immediate revenue and profitability instead of Disney Plus subscribers.

But...

That decision meant pushing back the live remake of Moana from summer of 2025 release date by one year to this weekend to give each movie some breathing room.

But it's possible that that mistake wasn't about proximity.

I don't know if you've ever met a child, but they're typically very willing to rewatch the same movie over and over again.

Yeah.

And I mean, I must have seen Kiki's Delivery Service like 400 times in one year.

So apologies to my parents on that.
