Another big box office weekend, in the books. Puck founder and entertainment journalist Matt Belloni recaps the latest ‘Barbenheimer’ hype, strikes in Hollywood, and Disney’s most recent disappointment. Belloni also discusses his latest scoop: Disney CEO Bob Iger has brought in two former heirs apparent, for consultation on the company’s next chapter. AI is breaking into health care. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb considers whether AI-powered bots could take on some of a doctor’s duties. He discusses how the AI strategies of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft could affect patient care and medical office administration, and what the timeline for those changes might be. Plus, Heineken’s beer volumes are down in a key region, and Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari is speaking out on the economy’s “soft landing.”
