This week I’m being rejoined by the Los Angeles Times’s Ryan Faughnder to discuss the sale of Paramount to David Ellison. What does this mean for the various arms of Viacom? Then we discussed the collapse of Redbox and the state of the box office. If you enjoyed this episode, please sign up for Ryan’s newsletter, The Wide Shot, here. It’s free!

Not dropped on Apple Podcasts yet.
Never inconvenience to rent movies at grocery store, only to return them. First trip usually a necessity to eat and movie a bonus.
Some of us with poor satellite or internet service will struggle with obtaining streaming service. I live in an area without phone lines and very poor cell service.
I now rely on rentals from our library, but not sure how long that will last. I am usually unable to even stream YouTube, will be sad when disc business collapses.
