Jim Cramer Praises Warner Bros, Netflix Now Rethinking Their Deal

Jim “Reverse” Cramer just gave us another pearl of wisdom saying that Warner Bros. Discovery’s CEO is “delivering phenomenally for its shareholders.” Netflix saw this news and instantly bailed on their proposed merger citing Cramer as a “curse” and that he has “ruined everything.”

Here’s everything “ramblin’ Jim” had to say on the matter, “So MSCI, which is the keeper of these groupings, combine a bunch of telecom, media, and entertainment companies, as well as some other companies, well, that we think of as tech companies, I know it’s strange because it’s Alphabet and Meta Platforms, these are really big companies into the hodgepodge sector now known as communication services. Probably confusing to you. It’s always confused me. It’s very artificial. Alright, that hodgepodge did great in 2025, led by Warner Brothers Discovery, which is finishing up nearly 173% after late-year bidding work that ended with the company announcing its sale to Netflix, although there’s still a possibility that it might go to this Paramount. Congratulations to Warner’s David Zaslav for delivering phenomenally for its shareholders. I gotta tell you, what a performance this thing was at eight bucks when he told me, ‘Listen, this thing’s worth 30.’ And boom, guess what? Probably get 30.”

Yes, I agree, you are confused.

But in actual news, Netflix is planning on amending their previous offer to make it an all-cash buyout, hoping that will push them ahead of Paramount in the final stages of the deal.

In Paramount’s camp, they’ve resorted to dirty tactics, filing a lawsuit that would compel WBD to disclose how it values the two bids to its shareholders. Additionally the company plans to nominate pro-Paramount directors to WBD’s board of directors in an attempt to get them to flinch.

I mean, I think it’s clear who’s on the back foot here.

So what does this all have to do with movies then, huh? Well, nothing. We might as well be trading potatoes for all it matters. Netflix, Warner Bros and Paramount all don’t really care about anything here but money. They might talk about values and brand loyalty and garbage but these are all soulless business dealings and the art that this all should be about is going to get caught in the crossfire.
