Summary

Episode 759: Neal and Toby do a roundup of this week’s big bank earnings, which showed across the board falling short of expectations…except for one. Then, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s new movie ‘The Rip’ premieres on Netflix, but it’s the kind of deal they inked that could pave the way for future movie productions in the landscape of streaming. Also, Beyond Meat pivots one more time, this time, into the sports recovery drink category. Meanwhile, Vail, one of the country’s biggest ski resort companies, is seeing a slow down in demand because there’s simply a shortage of snow. Finally, Spotify is increasing their prices again.
