The Oscars Are Leaving TV — And Going to YouTube

Is broadcast television finally dead? The hosts of So Many Sequels dive into the seismic shift happening in Hollywood as the Oscars announce their historic move from ABC to YouTube in 2029, signaling the end of an era for traditional media.

In this packed news episode, Josh, Garrett, and David break down what the Oscars' YouTube deal means for global audiences, discuss the ongoing Warner Brothers/Netflix merger saga (and why a gold-plated envelope might seal the deal), and share their reactions to the tragic death of legendary director Rob Reiner. Plus: the guys catch up on their holiday viewing including Stranger Things Season 5, Apple TV's Pluribus, Roofman, Caught Stealing, and more. They also cover the weekend box office where Avatar: Fire and Ash dominated with $88 million, and a biblical David beat SpongeBob SquarePants.
