Send us a text0-21:30: PSKY / WBD Deal breakdown21:30-51:08 The Fed Breakdown51:08-56:27: Donor Approved Funds for CharityIn this episode, Kristen and Jen continue to unpack Warner Brothers Discover bidding war from what the media is constantly getting wrong including missing the non apples to apples bids from PSKY and NFLX as well as why Paramount's bid looks nothign like traditional M&A and is basically a straight-up leveraged buyout. They also break down the question everyone's up in arms about: who is in control when this deal goes through.Then Jen shifts gears into the Fed…and why the headlines are missing what actually matters. Yes, there was a 25bp rate cut — but the bigger story is the Fed's new plan to support funding markets through reserve management purchases (RMPs) and short-dated Treasury buying. Jen translates the Fed's most painfully dry policy language into plain English, explains what “ample reserves” really means, and walks through why the Fed is stepping in now — with historical parallels to 2019's repo market stress and the post-2008 era of balance-sheet whiplash. The takeaway: this isn't a red-alert crisis moment, but it is a meaningful shift in liquidity support… and it sets up some very interesting asymmetry heading into 2026.Finally, they end with a practical PSA that could save high earners real money: a tax change coming in 2026 (and why there's urgency before year-end) makes donor-advised funds newly relevant if you give to charity consistently. They explain how “bunching” donations can potentially maximize deductibility — and how donating appreciated stock can help you avoid capital gains taxes while still supporting the causes you care about. Not tax advice (seriously: ask your CPA), but if you're philanthropic and market-savvy, this is one of those “tiny line in a bill, huge impact” moments you don't want to miss.Want to get an intense education in the world of corporate finance typically reserved for investment bankers and private equity professionals?

For more than a century, Warner Bros has been one of Hollywood's biggest players, a legacy studio that helped define the Golden Age of cinema with iconic blockbuster movies. Now, it's at the centre of a contentious, billion-dollar bidding war between Netflix, the world's leading streaming platform, and Paramount Skydance, owned by the powerful Ellison family, which has close ties to President Trump. Whichever way this goes, the outcome isn't looking great.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThe potential sale of Warner Bros Discovery has been a hot topic in recent weeks, but no one could have predicted the escalation and heightened stakes the bidding war has reached as Paramount CEO David Ellison announced a hostile takeover bid to the tune of $108.4 billion in response to what he described as Netflix's inferior $82.7 billion deal; a deal that seemed like an all but assured thing just days ago. It's been an uncharacteristically long time since James Gunn has given us a headline, but we may still be a day late and dollar short, as on Sunday the DC Studios head released a 10 second first look at Supergirl via social media, with the promise of the teaser trailer later in the week; which many have speculated to mean Thursday… Thanks, James! Also concerning DC: Four years after leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe behind, Scarlett Johansson seems headed for Gotham City, with the actress in final negotiations to join The Batman Part II. Details about Johansson's potential role are being closely guarded, though speculation has already run rampant about which iconic Batman character she might portray, though being a new love interest for Bruce Wayne in some capacity is a popular guess in the wake of unconfirmed reports that Zoe Kravitz might not reprise her role in the sequel.More than seven years after its original theatrical run, Marvel Studios is bringing Avengers: Endgame, the second-highest-grossing film of all time, back to theaters September 25, 2026 just months before Avengers: Doomsday later that December. While it's still unknown how long the Russos Brothers' last MCU contribution will be back to the big screen, the placement between the releases of Spider-Man: Brand New Day in July and Doomsday in December, has fueled industry insider speculation suggesting the new Avengers film will act as a direct sequel to Endgame rather than closely following the events of Phases 4 through 6.HBO has revealed that the third season of Euphoria will begin streaming in April of 2026. This comes more than four years after Season 2 finished in February 2022.Hulu has renewed the Glen Powell led sports comedy series Chad Powers for a second season.20th Century Studios announced The Simpsons Movie 2 has been delayed from July 23, 2027 to September 3, 2027. Paramount and Blumhouse are reviving the Paranormal Activity franchise and bringing on James Wan to produce a new feature film in the franchise according to the Hollywood Reporter. Variety and CNN have revealed the star-studded lineup for the 23rd season of Actors on Actors. Some of the participants include Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Dwayne Johnson, Julia Roberts, and Ariana Grande. Sony Pictures has tapped Bad Boys For Life writer Chris Bremner to pen a new Men In Black film. Although plot details are not public, sources tell Deadline that when the script is complete, original series star Will Smith will be the first to read it in hopes that he will return to the franchise in some capacity. Prime Video has released the first trailer for the final season of The Boys. The show has an updated release date of April 8, 2026, which will see the release of two episodes. Episodes will then drop weekly, leading to the series finale on May 20th. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 opened to $109 million dollars worldwide over the weekend, a strong opening for the franchise. Additionally, last weekend's champion Zootopia 2 is nearing the one billion dollar mark with  $915 million dollars worldwide so far. Sigourney Weaver is in talks to join the upcoming Tomb Raider series for Prime Video. Sophie Turner is set to star as Lara Croft, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge on as writer and executive producer.

Two of the biggest media companies in the world are going to war over Warner Bros. Discovery, a massive media conglomerate that owns a historic Hollywood studio, as well as the likes of HBO and CNN. This week, Paramount put in a hostile all-cash takeover bid for Warner Brothers worth more than $108 billion. This followed Netflix's announcement a few days earlier that they had won a bid to buy the company's film, studio and streaming divisions, which alarmed many people in the industry. The Paramount bid is led by big time MAGA donor Larry Ellison and is backed by U.S President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Trump has already signaled he will be involved in whatever deal comes through. Lucas Shaw, who writes the Screentime newsletter for Bloomberg, talks us through what this means for media concentration, influence over the news and the future of the entertainment industry.

The guys break down the newest wave of Quinn Hughes trade rumours, with Jamie insisting that “something has changed” between the star defenceman and the Canucks, while Drance cautiously agrees but won't rubber-stamp it yet. Even with nothing imminent, reports of the Devils calling, and the possibility of multiple teams entering the mix, spark talk of a potential bidding war. They unpack Elliotte Friedman's line that “nobody wants to talk about this,” which Jamie reads as a sign that a trade may truly be on the horizon, even if everyone should still take the noise with a grain of salt. The show wraps with a look ahead to tonight's matchup and the betting odds.

Stories on lung organoids and autism were some of the most read this week. We kicked things off by digging into recent breakthroughs in both areas including an automated method for manufacturing iPSC-derived lung organoids and how a combination of supplements reduced autism-linked behaviors in mice. Still on the topic of new research, we discussed how a protein in the extracellular matrix helps muscle stem cells repair aging muscles. In business news, the bidding war between Lundbeck and Alkermes over Avadel Pharmaceuticals has ended. We talk about the possible implications of Lundbeck's decision to back out and next steps for Alkermes. Then we dive into Protego Biopharma's recent fundraising round, and efforts to develop small-molecule pharmacological chaperones that modulate protein stability in disease. Join GEN editors Corinna Singleman, PhD, Alex Philippidis, and Uduak Thomas for a discussion of the latest biotech and biopharma news.

Acquisitions have ticked up this month as all eyes were on Pfizer and Novo's fight over Metsera. The past week saw that deal finalized with Pfizer as the winner plus a handful of other M&A stories, including Merck's $9.2 billion buyout of Cidara Therapeutics and Johnson & Johnson's $3 billion bet on Halda Therapeutics. Additionally, a separate bidding war has broken out between Lundbeck and Alkermes for sleep biotech Avadel Pharmaceuticals. Outside of M&A, the FDA dominated headlines again this week. The agency effectively closed the loop on one of the messiest stories of the year—Sarepta's gene therapy Elevidys—when it formally added a black box warning for serious liver toxicities and risk of death and removed the nonambulatory indication from the label. The agency will also require that the company complete a postmarketing observational study of around 200 patients. This happened just as Richard Pazdur accepted the role of director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) that was recently vacated by George Tidmarsh amidst conflict with Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) Director Vinay Prasad. By all accounts, Pazdur, a 26-year FDA veteran, is a highly respected and thoughtful regulator, and sources told BioSpace that if Prasad tries to supersede Pazdur's authority, “there will be hell to pay and resignations to be handed in.” In other FDA drama, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is apparently butting heads with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Meanwhile, the agency revealed details of its plausible mechanisms pathway teased by Makary earlier in his tenure. Finally, in Biopharm Executive this week, check out our deep dives into GLP-1 pricing. Coming off Trump's deal with both Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to offer their GLP-1s at a lower cost through the president's new direct-to-consumer platform, Novo CEO Maziar Mike Doustdar announced a sale on its company's products. Bargain bin pricing like this so early in a drug's market life is unprecedented. It's changing the investment calculations for the next-generation of obesity treatments. 

Tech took a beating this week but a lot of stocks rebounded into Friday to close the trading week. One asset that did not recover: Bitcoin, as the cryptocurrency remained below $100,000. Marley Kayden and Sam Vadas talk about the price action and other unsung headlines surrounding the trading day, from Fed speaker commentary to the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The fight for Hyperliquid's USDH stablecoin is more than a ticker battle—it's a referendum on how crypto distribution, governance, and incentives will shape the next trillion-dollar market.  In this episode of Bits + Bips, Steve Ehrlich sits down with Delta Blockchain Fund's Kavita Gupta, Galaxy Digital's Alex Thorn, and Frax founder Sam Kazemian to dig into the big questions: Who will win the USDH war, and why does distribution matter more than design? Are DATs fulfilling their promises—or raising money without accountability? Why are L2s the wrong place for tokenized stocks? And where exactly is the trillion-dollar opportunity in stablecoins?

The drama is heating up in crypto M&A. LayerZero, the omnichain interoperability protocol, shocked the market with a $110 million bid to acquire Stargate DAO — the very bridge it originally launched. Then Wormhole jumped in, asking the DAO to pause the vote so it could make a counter-offer. This episode unpacks the first-ever so-called onchain bidding war: how to value DAOs like real businesses, why LayerZero and Wormhole are fighting over Stargate, and whether this deal marks the beginning of a consolidation wave across crypto. Guests David Nage of Arca and M&A advisor Lawson Bae of Relayzero break down the numbers, the strategy, and what this turning point means for the industry.
