To hear the CEO of Netflix tell it, his $83 billion offer to buy Warner Brothers Studios will benefit everyone.

To hear the CEO of Paramount tell it, that same offer is a monopolistic disaster.

The blockbuster deal that is rocking Hollywood, the competing hostile takeover bid that it's inspired, and what it all means for the future of TV and film, and for all of us, the viewers.

I spoke with three of my colleagues, Nicole Sperling, Kyle Buchanan, and Lauren Hirsch.

It's Tuesday, December 9th.

I want to welcome the three of you to the first ever edition of the Roundtable Hollywood Edition.

Lauren Hirsch.

Nice to have you in the studio.

And joining us from Los Angeles and its environs, Nicole Sperling.

Nice to have you on.

Hello.

And Kyle Buchanan.

Thanks for making time for us.
