Will Anyone Budge on Data Transparency in Hollywood?
Matt is joined by Bloomberg\u2019s Lucas Shaw to discuss one of Hollywood\u2019s most hotly debated topics: data transparency among streamers. As the writers and actors strike drags on, data transparency continues to be a nonnegotiable for studios and a necessary inclusion for the guilds. Matt and Lucas discuss why the sides are so far apart, why streamers don\u2019t want to release data, how data obscurity affects financials, and whether any of this could or should change. Matt finishes the show by recapping his Taylor Swift concert experience and making a prediction about how much money her tour will make.\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click here.\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Lucas Shaw\n\nProducer: Craig Horlbeck and Jessie Lopez\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
