069: HBO Max-acre Fallout
It was another slow news week, but there were some things that popped up on the outskirts of the streaming world. As the fallout of the HBO Max-acre (name courtesy of Vulture) continues, there is new word that AT&T might be looking to sell DirecTV. What kind of impact does that have on the overall business and does it make sense? All of this and everything else from the past week can be found as Dustin and Tony discuss the past week in the streaming universe.

Could Crunchyroll be sold? Will DC Universe meet the fate that Tony and Dustin predicted since last fall? All of this and more can be found in the latest episode of The Streaming Wars.
