Is This The End Of Netflix? (Ron DeSantis Takes On The Mickey) Irishman In America With Marion McKeone

I sat down with Marion McKeone for our usual Friday catch up on all things America and one story jumped to the top of our list. The crash of Netflix’s stock this weekend has been epic. Some are saying that the worst is yet to come as subscribers leave the platform behind. Marion explains what is behind the shift and tells me if there is any saving the giant or will Apple, HBO, Prime & Hulu swallow it whole. Ron DeSantis is looking more and more like the Republican candidate for 2024 no matter what the Orange Lad thinks. Is his latest publicity stunt as the anti-woke guru enough to win Trump’s voters in Florida? We also get Marion’s recommendation for what’s good this weekend.
