Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your daily pop culture report. It's some Mike Jones menicon
on DC one on one.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We're still waiting to see if Netflix will buy Warner
Brothers Discovery, and if the deal does go through, it
will bring a big change to seeing movies. The talk
is that Netflix would want to limit in theater releases
to only seventeen days and then have movies start streaming.
That just feels way too short. What if you want
to see a big blockbuster in a theater but you're

(00:25):
busy for those two and a half weeks? Now, are
you out of luck? If the deal does go through,
I hope Netflix wouldn't do this. An animated legend just
joined the public domain, Betty Boop. She made her debut
in nineteen thirty and now that her likeness is free
for anyone to use. Of course, a horror movie is coming.
Boop will be out later this year, showing how a

(00:47):
group of podcasters are investigating a haunted theater and a murdering,
vengeful Betty Boop is taking them out one by one.
The movie's distributor, BMI Worldwide, promises that this will be
a wildly violent and ridiculously fun ride. Get your daily
pop culture run down around four point fifty every weekday
with the Mike Jones Minicon in the afternoon, Adventure on

(01:07):
