Everyone's Making Their Move

Everyone's Making Their Move

Cannes Lions, Meta Glasses, and the NBC Universal Spinoff

Boye, Chris, and guest Paul Yurick kick things off reacting to the Minions singing competition that went viral at the premiere and why it was a genius marketing move by Universal (1:00). Then they dive into what everyone's been watching, from House of the Dragon Season 3 and The Bear's final season to Sheep Detectives and Star City (5:10). Chris breaks down his experience at Cannes Lions, what it actually is, why it's getting bigger every year, and whether the oversaturation could hurt it (20:31). They get into Meta launching its own branded glasses with Kylie Jenner, how Snap's AR glasses are landing flat, and why the smart glasses war is just getting started (41:24). And they close out on Comcast spinning off NBCUniversal and why Boye thinks Netflix should be the one to buy it (51:40).
