Gather 'round lads and lasses! We're saying goodbye to Oxford commas and picking a side (Oasis or Blur?!) because in today's episode, we're headed across the pond!
We start (00:00) by talking about David Zaslav’s lavish, misguided party at the Cannes Film Festival and discussing the latest on the WGA strike.
In The Multiplying Genre (08:53), we discuss the two most prominent Brit streamers: Up first, we dive into Acorn TV and its background, audience metrics, and share our feelings on the UI, platform, and content highlights. We then contrast it with the other big player in the game, BritBox, and consider its highlights and lowlights (24:10)
In Cross Dysfunctional (51:21), we investigate the factors behind the rapid rise of British content-focused streamers and discuss how differences in business strategy and industry structure really inform the story beats from content across the Atlantic, especially when compared to traditional Hollywood formulas.
In Final Thoughts (1:07:21), we further examine the current “moment” the Brits are having in the industry and predict how they will fare in the near and long-term future given the recent shifts in tech, streaming, and Hollywood.
There’s snark a plenty so proceed with caution.
So keep calm and carry on. Innit, bruv?
