About the episode
Matt is joined by The New York Times’ Jim Rutenberg to discuss the bombshell news that the Murdochs have settled their ongoing family trust succession dispute, which will now keep Lachlan Murdoch on top, with the other siblings taking buyouts for more than $1 billion each. Matt and Jim discuss why the siblings finally settled, whether this was a good deal for them or a disappointing capitulation, and what’s next for the Fox empire under Lachlan (02:52). Matt finishes the show with an Oscar prediction after attending the Toronto Film Festival (27:25).
