Matt is joined by Puck’s Julia Alexander to preview the 2025 Emmy Awards and look at which shows should already be considered winners from a business perspective.

Matt finishes the show with an opening weekend box office prediction for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba—The Movie: Infinity Castle (29:27).
