The Raw Deal Point Roiling Hollywood
Entertainment Strategy Guy discusses the profit-sharing model behind the studios and SAG-AFTRA's breakdown
Listen in as The Ankler team and industry insiders break down Hollywood’s latest business headlines, power struggles and trends shaping the future of entertainment.

Also on tap: Microsoft’s controversial acquisition of Activision (27:06), Netflix’s earnings call (5:01), and this weekend’s eye-popping Barbenheimer film slate (2:00).
