Episode notes

This chapter explores the uncertainty surrounding upcoming movies, such as Disney's Wish and Aquaman 2, and compares the disappointing box office performance of Killers of the Flower Moon to The Marvels. It also delves into the double standard between Marvel movies and Apple movies, and transitions to an interview discussing Justine Bateman's opposition to SAG-AFTRA's AI contract language.

Kim Masters and Matt Belloni discuss what’s shaping up to be a lean holiday box office and what success for movies looks like — and how it’s perceived — when it comes to theatrical versus streaming releases.

Then, filmmaker and SAG-AFTRA generative AI advisor Justine Bateman joins to share her concerns over the union's new contract, while Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland explains why it’s the best deal possible.
