[Chatterley:] Welcome back to FIRST MOVE and a look at today's "Boardroom Brief." Walmart is overhauling the online retailer jet.com and says it will absorb most of company with its online business. Walmart bought the startup for more than $3 billion in 2016. The President of jet.com, Simon Belsham is set to leave the company in August. Lululemon shares are raising higher after the sportswear maker raised its outlook for the year. The company told investors that it's on a roll and expects to make more than three and a half billion dollars this financial year. It's right now up some five percent. Wow. Netflix is turning its smash hit series, "Stranger Things" into a video game set in the shadowy upside down world. Netflix's latest move is book players and the gaming industry, too. Paul La Monica joins me now. Paul, I've got a confession. I've never watched "Stranger Things." But I hear really great things about it. Talk to me about their foray now into gaming.
[Paul La Monica, Cnn Business Reporter:] Yes, this is a fantastic show by the way. I'm very excited for Season 3. And what's really fascinating here, Julia, is that the game that Netflix just announced is going to be a mobile game, 2020 it's coming out and it sounds a lot like Pokemon Go. It's going to be a location based puzzle game. So what we're actually going to be looking for and the clues we're trying to find, it's going to be fascinating to see. It's apparently set in the very shadowy upside down area, which is very important to fans of the show. But this is not the only game that Netflix has tied to "Stranger Things." They have another one that's a more traditional console game that's also going to be on PCs and mobile that's coming out on July 4th tied to Season 3's release date, and that's going to be a retro game kind of modeled more like Super Nintendo games from the 90s, which should be pretty interesting since this is a show set in the mid-80s.
[Chatterley:] It's quite fascinating, isn't it? How damaging can Netflix be to this segment? I mean, we've seen them disrupt TV viewing, with their streaming offering so comprehensively. What do we think about their entry into gaming here particular given, as you point out, they have got great content that they can play with here.
[La Monica:] Yes, I think that Netflix is going to be very careful with what they decide to make games out of. There's another game they're developing off of the "Dark Crystal" series, you know, based on a new cartoon that's coming out that was based on a very popular Jim Henson, "Dark Crystal" movie from the 80s. But I don't think you're going to see Netflix go crazy here like an "Orange is the New Black" prison game. Not so sure that's a great idea. So I wouldn't expect that. But I think that Netflix particularly with their you know, kids-themed shows and a show like "Stranger Things" that attracts all ages and has that 80s retro feel that could be a natural fit for Netflix to do more games out of.
[Chatterley:] Yes, they've got to be careful with it. Your choices here. Now speaking of excitement of that July the Fourth launch of the latest series of "Stranger Things," Burger King is getting in on the action here. What a whopper. Take a look at this. Paul, how do you feel about this? An upside down hamburger? [09:55:04]
[La Monica:] Yes, it got basically the bottom bun on top. They flipped it, a nod to the upside down of "Stranger Things." I do wonder whether or not there will be an Impossible version even though obviously plant-based food was not a thing in the 80s so to speak, you just had bad veggie burgers as opposed to the more authentic meat-like food that we get from Impossible and Beyond Meat now. But there are so many companies latching on to this. It's not just Burger King, Coke is even bringing back new Coke, the disaster that that was for the launch of "Stranger Things" because that debuted in the mid-80s when this show is set as well.
[Chatterley:] I love that we're having a serious debate about this. I mean, all they did was flip the thing. It's just upside down, it will be an accident if it weren't a great PR opportunity. Paul La Monica, with his Impossible Burger thereto, I'm sure they will. Thank you so much for that.
[La Monica:] Thank you.
[Chatterley:] All right, we have to wrap up the show. A quick look, once again at what we are seeing in the energy markets. The oil markets in response to the breaking news that we've been talking about throughout the show, of course, two tankers that are suspected of being attacked there. More to come on "The Express" in a couple of hours. But for now, that's it for the show. You've been watching FIRST MOVE, time to make yours.
