Netflix has inked a significant deal with the NFL to stream Christmas day games, shelling out $75 million per game for a three-year contract. This surprising move comes after Netflix initially avoided live sports, opting for sports-related content instead. The success of airing the WWE and recognizing the viewership potential during events like the Tom Brady roast influenced Netflix's shift towards live NFL games. The NFL's massive viewership and ability to generate cultural moments were factors in Netflix's decision, aligning with their strategy to attract advertisers through live events and ad-supported platforms.
Episode 324: Neal and Toby recap the latest inflation report that shows its first promising sign of easing up but not quite time to celebrate. Then, AMC was able to leverage the meme stock rally to cut down its debt but sent its stock tumbling. Next, Netflix inks a deal to stream the coveted NFL Christmas Day games. Also, Neal runs through his numbers of overdose deaths, a study about the internet, and raw milk sales. Plus, a flood of fake science forces multiple scientific journals to retract its publications. Lastly, Francis Ford Coppola has been working on his latest film for the last 40 years and is ready to show it to the world at the Cannes Film Festival.
