Episode notes

The episode starts with an introduction of sponsors and then dives into the SAG after deal, discussing the concerns raised by Justine Bateman about AI in the contract. The chapter also touches upon the challenges faced by the Hollywood box office due to low numbers and flopped movies in China.

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.
