I found this interesting because of something we talked about earlier - Disney have signed deals with a lot of other services and some of them run long and some of them have levels of exclusivity in certain territories. So if you remember, I was expecting a slow roll out on some of their own films. And yet their were very few notable absences on their launch list (I think one jumped out at me but I have already forgotten what it was). Well, here's how they negotiated their way out of some of those problems: https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/5/2...wars-licensing
I would expect there are a few similar stories behind the scenes as they tried to secure rights to their movies.

Everyone has their biases and among cinephiles, one of them can be TV. Some hardcore film lovers can’t stand scripted television on the whole, some will only look at a handful of shows and hold them up to an incredibly brutal standard that they don’t hold many films up to, most of us can just […]
Kevin Feige adds weight to audience requirement to watch the Disney+ MCU series in order to fully understand what will occur in future films, particularly it seems with the sequel to Doctor Strange. Hopefully he's over selling it as this desire to hard push Disney+ could damage the MCU if true.

E! have announced that next year they will be reviving The Soup. Jada Catta-Prata will be hosting the new run, the shows sixth presenter after Joel McHale who presented it for eleven years and who also hosted the one season spin-off on Netflix last year. Never saw the old versions as this was always an awkward show to get episodes for but I'll be curious as I really enjoyed it, main concern is that the last version really was very heavily down to Joel so it'll be interesting to see whether this works as well without him.
