A War Is Coming Over Hollywood Pay
Matt is joined by Bloomberg\u2019s Lucas Shaw to discuss why Netflix, Apple, and other streaming platforms are looking to change how they pay actors (03:25). After years of paying big up-front checks with no back end, streamers are looking to balance out their ballooning budgets by better aligning pay with performance. They debate why this change is happening now, how advertisements on these platforms could bring about more transparency, and whether this new model could actually work. Matt finishes the show with predictions on Kevin Costner\u2019s \u2018Horizon: An American Saga\u2019 and Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s \u2018Megalopolis\u2019 (24:36).\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click this link: puck.news/thetown\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Lucas Shaw\n\nProducer: Jessie Lopez\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
