Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss Netflix’s strong second-quarter earnings and how the company’s strong numbers might weaken in the next few years, partially because of their underwhelming advertising revenue.

Matt finishes the show with a prediction for which city will win hosting duties of the 2027 Sundance Film Festival (25:30).
