Since Paramount+ is enjoying a torrid hot streak with commercial originals over the last year, and with #StrangeNewWorlds poised to extend that streak, now would be a GREAT time to overhaul its industry-worst UX/UI to enhance customer satisfaction and decrease in-app friction

I know late night TV economics don't work like they used to, and I was never even a huge late night viewer. But there's something genuinely sad about watching pivotal, beloved institutions come to an end. The inevitability of change hits different. #TheLateShow

I know from ~8 years of experience as a critic/journalist: it is remarkably, hilariously easy to not be a total weirdo while interviewing filmmaking talent. I really believe the rise of the "influencer critic" has forever damaged etiquette within Hollywood coverage.

Bunch of learnings from the top 10 report but my favorite hobby horse - licensing! 18 months seems to be the sweet spot for a TV series. Look at Ballers. The juice had been all squeezed a year in - now it's set to depart and arguably, Netflix got what it wanted.

Can’t help but wonder about audience drop off given the elapsed time from S3, which is also the reason why certain cast members couldn’t return. I get that it was up to Sudeikis. But should’ve been a slam dunk greenlight S4/spinoff ready to premiere a year after finale.

This is a fantastic example of synergy between mediums (pun intended). A theatrical event driving downstream value for streaming with a star-studded red (blue) carpet. Both mediums working together to serve die-hard fans. #TheFantasticFour #FirstSteps

Netflix hit 8.3% of US TV usage in June (up 13.5%), ranking 3rd behind YouTube (12.8%) and Disney (10.0%), per Nielsen. The jump was largely driven by #GinnyandGeorgia S3 & #SquidGame S3. Can #Wednesday S2 (Aug) or #StrangerThings' final season (Nov-Dec) top this growth?

#Predator Killer of Killers deserved more viewership and #Badlands looks all sorts of badass. Dan Trachtenberg has been doing really interesting things in the genre franchise space dating back to 10 Cloverfield Lane.

As a reminder, Amazon MGM owns The Addams Family IP and receives not insignificant paydays from Netflix for #Wednesday and any other potential future spin-offs.

I’ve got no skin in the game but I’m rooting for Lionsgate. The industry is a healthier place when a mini-major studio like $LION is doing well. Plus, #GoodFortune looks good to me.

It’s a tad odd to see Kevin Feige admit that under-performers The Marvels/#Thunderbolts struggled in part bc of needed familiarity with Disney+ characters/storylines…only for the studio to then stick Punisher in #SpiderMan #BrandNewDay. (Joint decision w/Sony, I know, but still)

Finally finished Attack on Titan…

For ADWEEK, I spoke with Nielsen, VideoAmp, and several sources over the last few months to make sense of the messy drama in the TV measurement and currency world as this year’s upfront season comes to a close. adweek.com/convergent-tv/…

I found #TheFantasticFour #FirstSteps to be fine 👍

We simply do not have the technology for CGI babies yet.

My awful building management company will really send four email reminders about their shitty arts n crafts lobby event but then ghost you when asking about the elevator that’s been broken for three weeks for the third time this year.
