About the episode
Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to look ahead to what WarnerMount will look like now that the merger is likely to go through. They discuss the biggest questions surrounding the new megacompany, including who will run its multiple movie studios, how involved David Ellison will be creatively, what’s going to happen to CNN and CBS, what role Elon Musk will play, how quickly they will announce layoffs and other synergies, and how they will integrate Paramount+ and HBO Max (01:46). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the new name of the combined Paramount Skydance–Warner Bros. company (28:51).
