SSNP 323 | Streaming Wars, Episode II: Attack of the HBO Max Smorgasbord

November 9, 2019

A long time ago (last week), in a galaxy far, far away (Burbank), a media conglomerate announced a sprawling new steaming platform full of some of their most popular movies and TV shows, as well as new productions. No, it isn't Disney - it's Warner Bros., and, unlike with the Mouse House, there's far more hurdles to overcome. Can HBO Max overcome branding issues and a high monthly price to make new "Green Lantern." "Boondocks," and "Little Ellen" (!) productions successes?

In this episode, the SSN Crew discusses HBO Max's content presentation, as well as Lori Loughlin staring down the barrel of a 50 year prison sentence, the Internet's best friends - "Game of Thrones" show runners David Benioff & D.B. Weiss - departing Star Wars for Netflix, and more bonus discussion on Eddie Murphy's "Dolemite is My Name!"
