Welcome to The Nash Attack—my take on media and what makes us watch. I’m Jonathan Nash, a lifelong movie and TV fan who’s spent my career at the intersection of Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Each episode starts with a question about media I can’t stop thinking about. I bring together firsthand experience, industry history and my own perspective to make sense of how we got here, where we’re going and why it matters. OK. Let's attack something.

It's been plaguing us since the dawn of the streaming era. What do we watch tonight? But it wasn't always this way. Cable provided simplicity. Technology gave us choice, but with choice came chaos. In this episode, I explore how we lost the guide and why everyone trying to rebuild it has only solved a piece of the discovery problem. Fortunately, there is hope. Send us Fan Mail
What happens when the disruptor becomes the industry leader? Netflix has spent decades reinventing itself, disrupting movie rentals, streaming and eventually Hollywood itself. But with layoffs, leadership changes and pressure to keep growing, can it continue reinventing itself? It's an interesting bet. Send us Fan Mail
Streaming was supposed to free us from expensive cable bundles. So why does it feel like we're back where we started? Drawing on my experiences at Roku, Apple and DIRECTV, I tackle the Great Rebundling and explore how we got here. Did we just reinvent cable? It's not that simple. Send us Fan Mail
Warner Bros. has spent a century creating some of Hollywood's greatest entertainment. So why does it keep changing hands? Now part of Skydance, I explore Warner's turbulent corporate history, HBO's streaming transformation, and whether the company has spent too much time protecting its past instead of building its future. Did Warner lose its way, or was it simply trying to keep up with an industry that never stopped changing? Send us Fan Mail
On this episode, we ask what the "Disney Magic" really is—and what makes Disney so special. We look back at how Disney built generations of fans, how streaming challenged the formula, and what it takes to keep the magic alive for the next generation. Send us Fan Mail
On this episode, we ask how Roku won—or even survived. We look back at how a small streaming company took on the biggest tech companies in the world, the choices that helped it break through, and how Roku changed the way we watch television. Send us Fan Mail
On this episode, we ask why Fox sold Hollywood—and then turned around and bought Roku. We look back at Fox’s Hollywood history, how the value of media has shifted from owning content to owning the interface, and what bringing Fox and Roku together could mean for both companies. Send us Fan Mail
Before we attack anything, I thought we should start with the obvious questions: Why did I start a podcast? And why the hell would you care? This is a quick introduction to me, the show, and what you can expect when you listen. Send us Fan Mail
