Office Hours is a newsletter and podcast about the business of culture.
WELCOME TO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND MADNESS.
The way I see it, Most folks are going to be traveling this week. Car trips, flights, etc.
To meet your demand for stuff to listen to/read, I’m flooding the block this week: Office Hours subscribers will be getting two new podcast episodes and a newsletter this week. Make sure you don’t miss anything:
Podcast #1 =
Hulu, ESPN, Marvel Studios, ABC...all owned by one company. We discuss Disney and the idea of "monoculture" aka how one company can "own" nostalgia across demographics and generations.
Think about it this way: Out of the 20 worldwide highest-grossing films in history, a company owned by Disney made 12 of them.
(I also debut the single worst Terrence Howard impression of all-time!)
