Netflix reportedly dropping over $80 billion to acquire Warner Bros Discovery has Hollywood melting down — but this isn’t the end of movies, and it’s not the clean “evil megacorp takeover” narrative you’re seeing online. In this video, we break down the deal with actual nuance: • Will this deal even go through? We look at the HSR filing, the DOJ, the 30-day review window, why it’ll almost definitely go extended, and how it could sit for a year. • Who’s running interference? Old-school Hollywood power players, the Ellisons, the Trump administration (and MAGA world), plus state Attorneys General looking at consumer impact. • Why MAGA might want to block this, especially given Reed Hastings’ strong anti-Trump stance and recent backing of Gov. Gavin Newsom. • Why actors, studios, and traditional reps are nervous, including what consolidation actually means for creators. • What viewers should actually care about — the stuff that impacts your wallet, your shows, and theatrical releases. This deal might reshape Hollywood… or it might completely stall. Let’s get into what’s real, what’s noise, and what happens next.
