It was Independence Day this week, but ironically this episode keeps reverting back to kings. Amazon looks for a director and an actor for His Majesty's secret service in the Bond franchise, Stephen King's The Stand gets a new adaptation and Richard Bachman (re: Stephen King, again) gets a trailer for Edgar Wright's new version of The Running Man. Meanwhile, Paramount guarantees their huge merger with Skydance by bending the knee to a man who thinks himself king. Steam and Nintendo offer feasts (of deals) fit for a king, including discounts on many Mushroom Kingdom related titles. It's a real game of thrones around here, I tell you hwhat. That's a little King of the Hill reference.

Het was de kortste presentatie sinds de aankondiging van de iPhone. De eerste iPhone wel te verstaan. In ongeveer anderhalf uur vloog topman Tim Cook (op de jaarlijkse World Wide Developer Conference) met z'n collega's door de nieuwste bedenksels van Apple heen. En daaruit bleek dat Apple het nog steeds NIET voor elkaar krijgt om hun eigen AI te maken. Het hoogtepunt was een nieuw uiterlijk voor alle Apple-systemen. Maar ook dat ging niet helemaal goed. Want bij de video die Apple erover op YouTube publiceerde stond het YouTube logo over de G en de L van Liquid Glass heen. Waardoor er Liquid Ass stond.Apple werd ineens een grap. Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Hoe kon het zo ver komen en hoe komt Apple hieruit? En kan het nog een rol van betekenis spelen op het gebied van AI?Misschien moeten we even bellen met Mark Zuckerberg. Zijn Meta loopt ook hopeloos achter, maar hij heeft de oplossing gevonden! Hij speelt recruiter en is persoonlijk in gesprek met nerds.Verder hebben we het ook over de onderhandelingen tussen de Amerikanen en Chinezen, in Londen. De vorige gesprekken (in Geneve) bevielen de kemphanen zo goed, dat ze ze voortzetten in een ander land. We kijken of het einde van de handelsoorlog nu eindelijk nabij is. De termijn van Klaas Knot komt ook steeds dichterbij. Nog maar drie weken en dan is 'ie baas van De Nederlandsche Bank af. Maar er is nog steeds géén opvolger.

CBS News president Wendy McMahon has stepped down from her post as tensions escalate over ongoing Paramount Global-Trump settlement talks. With the deal already under scrutiny from senators, what's in store for Shari Redstone's Skydance merger? Kim Masters and Matt Belloni dive into this and more major media shake-up stories. Plus, Masters talks to director Matt Wolf about Pee-wee as Himself, which looks beyond the iconic character to the complicated man who created him. The two-part series draws from more than 40 hours of Wolf's interviews with Paul Reubens, who spent much of his life guarding his privacy. The filmmaker also explains how those conversations revealed Reubens' inner conflicts and why HBO pushed for more when it came to telling the late actor's story.

Paramount is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Big Boss Shari Redstone reportedly told '60 Minutes' to stay away from negative Trump stories to close the Skydance deal, and now they're rage quitting and trying to take Paramount down in the process.

CBS News’ stalwart “60 Min” is reportedly on the verge of being cancelled amid an internal fight between the news magazine’s boss (parent company Paramount) and the News Division itself. At issue: President Trump’s allegations that 60 Min attempted to manipulate the election through reportedly deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris interview. Things are heating up — after one of the show’s reporters slammed parent company Paramount on a live broadcast Sunday evening. Paramount, the reported alleged, is overly focused on securing FCC apporval for its merger with Skydance. At this stage, industry insiders speculate that 60 Mins may have reached its grand finale — yet, the reasons for its demise are not as clear as you’d expect. Meanwhile, ABC News is facing similar challenges. The company has announced a serious restructuring. And, new questions from Epstein alleged victim Virginia Giuffe’s attorney deepen the mystery surrounding the horrible case.

Twenty-six cast members were announced painstakingly slowly and wordlessly, via the backs of chairs and it all ended with Robert Downey, Jr. himself strolling in and shushing the viewer.  Also in an interview this week, Scarlet Witch herself, Elizabeth Olsen, claims Wanda will not be returning for either of these Avengers films.Amy Pascal and David Heyman have officially been named as producers on the next James Bond film, according to a Variety article from Tuesday. Pascal is known for her work at Sony and continues to work with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller on different projects such as Spider-Man: Noir. Heyman's name ought to be familiar to Harry Potter fans as he produced all eight of the original films and is also in pre-production on the new series. Though it took first place this weekend, the $43 million domestic opening of Disney's live action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a box office failure. Along with dismal revenue for the controversy-embroiled film, it has received an overall CinemaScore of B+ - something no Disney live action remake has done yet. Robert DeNiro's Alto Knights also debuted to disappointing figures and the Jonathan Majors-led Magazine Dreams only cracked $700,000 in its limited release.Apple's streaming service had a huge win after finishing the second season of Severance last week when the show became the most-streamed series on AppleTV+, surpassing Ted Lasso. Severance hit the Nielsen streaming report for five consecutive weeks, clocking in with 681 million minutes viewed. Apple CEO Tim Cook quickly gave the show the greenlight for a third season last Friday morning. On the heels of this news, it may be surprising - or not - to hear that Apple loses $1 billion a year on the streaming service and only has 45 million subscribers. But based on what the tech giant has said in the past, this may not matter.Speaking at Disney's annual shareholder meeting, Bob Iger confirmed that Pixar is developing a sequel film to Coco with a targeted theatrical release date sometime in 2029.

Almar Latour is the publisher of the Wall Street Journal and also CEO of its parent company, Dow Jones — itself a part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Almar's been with the paper since the 90s, and now he's got insight into all the modern messes. He's made a big deal with OpenAI, while also suing Perplexity — all while building his own AI data products for Dow Jones customers. He's also a strong defender of press freedom who fought to have Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich released from Russia after being imprisoned for more than a year — while News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch famously has deep ties to Trump and has overseen a vastly polarized and politicized era of news media.

Jodi, Bridget and Philip talk about 'Spellbound' (2024), a new animated musical from Netflix and Skydance Animation. This is the second animated feature to come from Skydance after 'Luck' (2022) and is directed and co-written by 'Shrek' director Vicky Jenson. The film takes viewers to the enchanted, or rather, cursed, kingdom of Lumbria, ruled by King Solon and Queen Ellsmere. Their daughter, Princess Ellian, must determine whether to become queen, since the king and queen were transformed into feral monsters and have been hidden away in the palace for a year. Ellian manages to contact two oracles who are unable to reverse the enchantment but point her toward a possible solution. She must guide the two lizard-like monsters on a journey to a lake of light, but must contend with the fact that this perilous quest will likely leave her, her kingdom, and her family forever changed.
