Coming Soon: Paramount, Disney, and Fox are Changing the Game

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party, and today is a special Coming Soon edition of the show; a more news oriented episode that typically focuses on movie news and developments. However, today I'm looking at the major shifts that are coming in the Streaming landscape. Paramount Skydance is on the hunt for Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney is doing away with the Hulu app, and Fox is getting in the game with an attempt to buy Roku. Along with weighing in on these changes, I also give my take on what I think Amazon, Apple, Universal, and Netflix should do in response, and ultimately, what we, the consumer, should do next.
