Netflix CPO Eunice Kim is coming to TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 to talk tech, tools, and yes, its password-sharing strategy
We're absolutely thrilled to announce that Eunice Kim, Chief Product Officer of Netflix, will be joining us on the main stage at this October 27-29 at Moscone West in San Francisco!
As we mark two decades of TechCrunch Disrupt, there's perhaps no better embodiment of transformative growth than Netflix's journey during this same period. From DVD-by-mail startup to global streaming giant reaching more than 300 million subscribers worldwide, Netflix has fundamentally reshaped how we consume entertainment, and Kim is architecting that entire experience.
Since being named CPO at Netflix in October 2023, Kim oversees what she calls "the best job at Netflix" -- and for good reason. Her role spans the full spectrum of Netflix's product universe: leading product strategy and design for the service across 1,700+ devices, perfecting search and recommendations to ensure "the best content reaches each and every one of our members," and driving commercial strategy including plan structures, pricing, and tackling complex challenges like account sharing across global markets.
What makes Kim's perspective particularly compelling for Disrupt attendees: she's also revolutionizing content production itself through technology. Her team develops the software and tools that support Netflix's creative partners worldwide, leveraging technology "throughout what we call the pitch to play life cycle," she has said -- from initial script to the final locked video file that appears on your screen, plus all the surrounding elements that make content successful for members.
Drawing from a decade of product leadership at Google Play and YouTube, plus experience across startups, PepsiCo, and Adobe, Kim brings unique insights into scaling consumer experiences while simultaneously transforming how content gets made behind the scenes.
We can't wait to hear how she's navigating the intersection of product innovation, global commerce strategy, and creative technology at the world's largest subscription service.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Says His Dad Is Having a 'Midlife Crisis'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Patrick Schwarzenegger said his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was going through a particular type of "midlife crisis" during a recent podcast interview. Newsweek reached out to Arnold Schwarzenegger's representative via email for comment on Friday. The Context Arnold Schwarzenegger, 77, actor and former governor of California, has played in such movie hits as The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Total Recall and True Lies. The Golden Globe Award winner shares four kids with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver: daughters Katherine and Christina and sons Patrick and Christopher. In 2011, he revealed that he has another child, son Joseph Baena. Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, is an actor as well and has had roles in The Staircase and American Sports Story, and currently stars in The White Lotus. What To Know On Thursday's episode of Literally! With Rob Lowe, host Rob Lowe brought up Patrick Schwarzenegger's famous father and his love of animals. "I love that Arnold has the mini horse and the pig... it makes me want to do that," The West Wing star, 61, said. "He has totally embraced this new act of life. It's just, he's such a Doctor Dolittle meets kind of like this midlife crisis, but happiness and calmer side of life. It's really funny," Patrick Schwarzenegger said.

More; Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic The California native continued: "You've seen it, but this picture of him holding court at his dinner table with a cigar in his mouth and the miniature donkey behind him on the right side, and the miniature pony on the left side, and the pig right below his feet eating, and then the little Chihuahua on his lap, and then the massive 180-pound malamute husky over there next to the horse. And then the other—what's it called?—dog. That's 150 kg. It's just like they have all of them surrounding Arnold." Patrick Schwarzenegger added that his dad's animals are cooked homemade meals. "He has certain meals, he has the oatmeal cookies, the homemade oatmeal cookies that are good for the horses. He's got special meals for the dog. He's got the soup that the pig loves. It's just it's out of a movie. It really is." Lowe shared that Brian Grazer—a producer with credits on films like Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind—"has a movie he's developing about Arnold and the animals." "Every time I see Brian—I've had Brian on the show—I keep saying, 'What's going on with the Arnold animal movie?' Because honestly, I don't know anything I'd rather see than a movie about Arnold and his animals. I really don't. I am so down to see that." "I saw him literally yesterday and he brought it up," Patrick Schwarzenegger replied. "I'm hoping that it happens." The pair then went on to tease Arnold Schwarzenegger about his dress sense. "When did Arnold start dressing like Adam Sandler? When did that happen?" Lowe asked. "I make fun of Arnold more than anyone for the outfits he wears," Patrick Schwarzenegger said, before noting that his father went to a recent photo shoot for Netflix's FUBAR without wardrobe, so they shot him "how he's dressed." "I was like, I bet you he has a cigar and he's got a T-shirt of himself on. And he sent the photo, and it was literally a photo of himself with the shirt of himself, with a photo of himself in the background. I was just like, it doesn't get any, any better." "There's no one I love more for living his best life than your dad," Lowe said. What People Are Saying Lowe promoted the podcast on Instagram, and fans shared their excitement over the interview in the comments.

Does ‘Karate Kid: Legends' Have A Post-Credits Scene? Why You Should Stay Seated
Karate Kid: Legends is now in theaters. Karate Kid: Legends is now playing in theaters everywhere. As you watch the movie on the big screen, you might be wondering whether there's a mid- or post-credits scene that continues the story or teases a future sequel in the beloved franchise. Set three years after the series finale of Cobra Kai, Karate Kid: Legends reunites iconic martial arts masters for a new adventure, bringing back stars like Jackie Chan as Mr. Han and Ralph Macchio as Daniel Laruso while introducing newcomers like Ben Wang as Li Fong. 'After moving to New York City with his mother, kung fu prodigy Li Fong struggles to let go of the past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates," the official synopsis reads. "When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren't enough. With help from Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso, he soon learns to merge two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.' Legends director Jonathan Entwistle spoke to Inverse about what it was like merging the original Karate Kid movies with Macchio and Chan's 2010 reboot into a cohesive story for the 2025 sequel. 'For me, I was very excited that there was already a menu. There was already a recipe in there for what this could be, the heart, the mentorship, the found family, all of these types of things are in there,' he explained. 'Li Fong as the mentor for Victor, and then Jackie and Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso being the mentor again for Li, and Miyagi being everybody's mentor within all of these pieces.' Karate Kid: Legends is expected to have a $30 million debut at the box office this weekend – if Cobra Kai fans show up in full force – according to Variety. The film currently holds a 55% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 92 reviews so far, with more expected to roll in throughout the weekend. Here's everything to know about the Karate Kid: Legends post-credits scene and whether you should stay in your seat until the very end. Karate Kid: Legends has an extra scene that plays after the title card but before the actual credits, so technically, there's a post-credits scene you'll want to stick around for after the movie ends. Warning: Spoiler ahead for the end-credits scene in Karate Kids: Legends. Cobra Kai. (L to R) William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso in Cobra Kai. ... More Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix © 2024 After the 5 Boroughs tournament, viewers return to the pizza shop with Li Fong, Mr. Han, and the others. They order one pizza to go for Daniel LaRusso, who is staying at Mr. Miyagi's house in California. The uncooked pizza comes with a thank you message from Mr. Han and adds if Daniel ever needs anything, he knows where to find him. In the final scene, there's also a surprise cameo from Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), last seen in Netflix's spinoff Cobra Kai. Johnny and Daniel, who have since moved past their rivalry, share some friendly banter. When Johnny sees the pizza, he jokes that they should open a Mr. Miyagi-themed pizzeria called "Miyagi Dough," while Daniel decides to go actually cook the pizza. Thankfully, the Karate Kid franchise doesn't seem to be over yet – at least not for Daniel. Macchio confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that several Cobra Kai spinoffs are in in the works following the Season 6 finale. 'There are a few balls up in the air. I don't know which one is going to land. I hope all of them do, or some of them do, or one of them does,' Macchio revealed. 'The success of Karate Kid: Legends could propel all that stuff. It's different, but the same. There's a Miyagi-ism for you.' Watch the official trailer for Karate Kid: Legends below.

Inside Eminem's drug-'fueled' recording of 'Kim' 25 years ago
True to one of his biggest hits, Eminem lost himself in the music. That's what happened during the making of 'Kim,' the hip-hop icon's most shocking song on his blockbuster album 'The Marshall Mathers LP,' which came out 25 years ago on May 23, 2000. The twisted murder fantasy about killing his then wife Kim Mathers became a horrorcore classic, with Eminem voicing both sides of the fatal blowup in graphic, gruesome detail. 9 Eminem shed his Slim Shady alter ego and revealed his true self on 'The Marshall Mathers LP.' Redferns Advertisement 9 'The Marshall Mathers LP' is the second-best-selling rap album of all time, after 'The Eminem Show.' Amazon 'Now bleed, bitch, bleed! Bleed, bitch, bleed! Bleed!' spits the enraged rapper after slitting Kim's throat. Producer Jeff Bass said that Eminem was 'f–king pissed off' about Kim — who wasn't letting him see their daughter Hailie at that time in their tumultuous relationship — when he came into the studio for one of the drug-'fueled' sessions. Advertisement 'So I came up with this very dark track, and then he literally went into the booth and started rapping about what we hear now on that record,' Bass told The Post. 'He came up with that probably in an hour.' And the recording session turned into a therapy session. 'He was able to get s—t off his chest that really bothered him personally,' said Bass. 'Obviously, he didn't kill anybody, but … there's some truth in some of it.' As the first song written for 'The Marshall Mathers LP' — which took its title from Eminem's real name — 'Kim' revealed a more personal side of the rapper who had adopted an alter ego for his previous album, 1999's 'The Slim Shady LP.' And while there were bigger hits such as 'The Real Slim Shady,' 'The Way I Am' and 'Stan' that helped propel his third studio LP to over 11 million sales in the US, the rawness of 'Kim' cut deep. 'It was not a radio record, but it was one of the most powerful records on this particular album,' said Bass. '[He] got to show the world another side of who he is.' Advertisement 9 'We would work in the studios for, like, 20 hours a day,' said producer Jeff Bass of recording 'The Marshall Mathers LP' with Eminem. Jeff Bass/Instagram 9 Eminem was married to Kim Mathers from 1999 to 2001 and then again for a few months in 2006. Getty Images But the track — which was a prequel to ' '97 Bonnie & Clyde' on 'The Slim Shady LP,' where Eminem and daughter Hailie dispose of Kim's corpse — scared Eminem's own label. 'Interscope [Records] called for a meeting, and they were like, 'What are we going to do with this? Now you're pushing the envelope,'' recalled Bass. 'And we're like, 'Well, it's freedom of speech, so we're allowed to say anything we want to say, right?'' Advertisement But 'Kim' was deemed too graphic to even be featured on the 'clean' version of 'The Marshall Mathers LP' — no amount of censoring was going to get rid of its murderous narrative. So the song was replaced by the 'South Park'-sampling 'The Kids' on the 'clean' version, leading many to buy that in addition to the explicit version in the days before streaming. 9 Eminem and longtime producer Dr. Dre won Best Rap Video at the 2000 VMAs for 'Forget About Dre.' FilmMagic, Inc 'Which is why I think it was so successful,' said Bass. 'It was brilliant.' But later in 2000, Kim sued Eminem for defamation over the song's lyrics, and they reached a settlement. 'Kim' was the third song that Eminem recorded about his ex-wife, who he was married to from 1999 to 2001 and then again in 2006 for only a few months. The first of those tunes was 'Searchin' ' on the rapper's 1996 indie debut 'Infinite,' which Bass also produced along with his brother Mark after they discovered Eminem in their hometown of Detroit. By the time they got to 'The Marshall Mathers LP,' they were in a nonstop groove. 9 Eminem performed at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Getty Images 'We would work in the studios for, like, 20 hours a day, and we would just come up with song after song after song after song,' said Bass, who shared production duties with Dr. Dre, Mel-Man and the 45 King. 'We just would keep creating to see what flowed together well on an album.' Advertisement But in addition to losing themselves in the music, they were also losing themselves in drugs. 'We were doing lots of drugs,' said Bass. 'It fueled what we were coming up with … We hadn't admitted yet that we were drug addicts. So to us, this was normal, just getting high, going in the studio, writing all this music, recording the music. Opioids — that was the choice of drug.' 9 'In my mind, it's always a possibility,' said producer Jeff Bass of possibly working with Eminem again. Jeff Bass/Instagram Bass would continue to work with Em on 2002's 'The Eminem Show,' producing and co-writing the hits 'Without Me,' 'Cleanin' Out My Closet' and 'Superman.' Advertisement 'We still were doing drugs, we were still doing all kinds of stupid s–t, but, you know, had major success,' he said. Then Bass produced and co-wrote Eminem's No. 1 smash 'Lose Yourself,' from his movie '8 Mile,' which won an Oscar for Best Original Song. 9 Eminem joined the Dr. Dre-led halftime show at the 2022 Super Bowl. Getty Images 'It was the biggest thing that I probably ever wrote,' he said. 'For me, musically, that was my pinnacle.' Advertisement After Bass took a break from working with Eminem on 2004's 'Encore,' the pair reunited for 2009's 'Relapse,' which would be their last album together. 'We were high, and it felt like s–t was just falling apart, but that was the drugs,' said Bass. 'And we didn't have a falling-out or anything. It was just creative differences.' Eminem released 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' in 2013, but like most sequels, it didn't quite live up to the original. Still, Bass said, 'there's real nice, shining moments on that album.' 9 Eminem performed 'Stan' with Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards, where he won three trophies. Getty Images Advertisement Although Bass hasn't talked to Eminem 'in probably 17 years,' he doesn't rule out working together again. 'In my mind, it's always a possibility,' he said. 'And the funny thing is, our studios here in [Ferndale] Michigan are literally across the street from each other.' But they will always share in the legacy of 'The Marshall Mathers LP,' which is the second-best-selling rap album of all time — after 'The Eminem Show' — and is widely considered to be the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer's greatest work. 'At the end of the day, you know, it's a piece of work that will just be here in perpetuity, forever,' said Bass. 'It's a piece of history, which is amazing to be a part of.'
