GeekCypha 433 Goodbye MTV... Hello Microdramas + Gen V & Frankenstein

Video Available on Our Site - ⁠GeekCypha.com

Description: This week on GeekCypha, we tackle how Warner Bros. Discovery has stirred the pot by expressing openness to a sale. Is it all talk to give the stock a bump? Meanwhile, Apple TV and Peacock team up to offer an enticing streaming bundle for just $15 a month in the US. The streaming wars are over, and now the great mergers begin. We explore how top creators are finding renewed success off YouTube with FAST channels on services like Roku and Tubi, and discuss Japan's formal request to OpenAI regarding copyright concerns. The episode takes a nostalgic turn as we reflect on MTV's shutdown and what it means for pop culture. We also examine the rise of microdramas, projected to generate $11 billion globally by 2025, and ponder why younger generations feel compelled to keep up with the latest tech trends. Plus, we’re almost not interested in Lauryn Hill's upcoming shows in Canada—will she actually make them all? To wrap things up, Brian shares his thoughts on the Gen V finale, while Janessa gives her take on Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein.
