About the episode

Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss how the sweeping election results will affect the entertainment business at the local and federal levels, including whether a federal film tax incentive is more or less likely to pass, how a new California governor and Los Angeles mayor will impact film production at the local level, and whether Congress will look to investigate recent mergers like the Skydance–Warner Bros. Discovery deal (02:15). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about DC Studios following the recent exit of James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs (27:24).
