They dig into why the streamer is struggling despite its association with a very successful movie studio, its strong reality TV slate, and its valuable NFL rights, and they discuss the overall paradox of the streaming business in 2026. Matt finishes the show with a prediction about Netflix’s new Los Angeles headquarters.
