The Bezos-Sanchez wedding shut down Venice but was it really about love, or about power?

This week on The Media Couple, we dissected the billionaire wedding of the century and why it felt more like a PR stunt than a celebration. From Kardashians to DiCaprio, from Vogue to private jets, this was a masterclass in soft power and media manipulation.

Then, we shift gears to Bond and ask the big question:
Is Amazon about to change James Bond forever?
With Denis Villeneuve announced as the new Bond director, and Gen Z actors eyed for the role, is the franchise still going to retain its signature British wit and charm?

Topics We Cover:

• Bezos’ wedding as a reflection of elite media control
• The symbolism behind the guest list, the venue, and the coverage
• What happens when tech billionaires play royalty
• Amazon’s grip on Bond and what that means for its legacy
• Casting under-30s: smart move or mistake?
• And of course… our Rotten Tomatoes Game: Wedding Edition
