Can Netflix Continue its Reign as King of Streaming?
Brent Butler, host of PopDust Presents, and Trey Williams, Media and Entertainment Reporter at Marketwatch, discuss Netflix's upcoming release of its Q4 earnings and whether we can expect the streaming service to perform as well this time around as it has in the past.
Butler weighs in on Netflix's audience and the money it's spending to recruit big names and major talent. He says these are all reasons to be optimistic about the long-term future of the stock.
Williams talks about the Disney/Fox deal that some are calling the "Netflix killer." He notes that Disney's new streaming platform will not have as much of an impact as some are anticipating. Netflix is a huge platform, but it's not the only one, and consumers are still going to shop around for content.
