From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

To get a shot at directing his remake of a star is born,

Bradley Cooper passed on an upfront payday in exchange for a piece of the profit.

And that gamble paid off.

But as Cooper is painfully aware, the movie business has changed.

Those days are completely gone, so there is trepidation I have with that.

No question. No question. And I have thought like I really have to actively start thinking about

other ways of making revenue that have maybe nothing to do with movie making. In part two of our

interview, Bradley Cooper worries about the streaming future.

He also remembers picking up filmmaking tips on the set of alias and shares how he landed

on the memorable voice of Marvel's Rocket Raccoon.

Sleep for the danger, awake for the money, as per frickin' usual.

But first we banter.

Stick around.

It's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my companion in banter. Matt Bellany. Hello, Matt. Hi there. So Netflix just took

a drubbing. They may have recovered somewhat by the time people

are hearing this, but they announced their results from the most recent quarter. They missed their

target, not by that much. They were going to add, they thought, 8.5 million new subscribers. It was 8.3.

Wall Street was like, I'm sorry, what? And even worse, their projections for the next

quarter were quite low. And so Wall Street did not react well to that news. No. And, you know,

there's an interesting thing going on here because Netflix basically knew this was going to happen.
