Today, Dan Danford weighs in on the stock price for The Walt Disney Company and the renewed threat by Nelson Peltz who seems to Have Had Enough. Can he take over the board? What does that mean for Bob Iger? Between the plummeting stock price and the numerous lawsuits, Disney's not having a very good year. Plus: could Bob Iger also be compromised by the FTX scandal? The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried i...

First: We're still not back. This is another one-off. In the aftermath of the new deal between the Writers Guild and the studios, and with negotiations continuing with SAG-AFTRA, we take a look at the fallout and the side effects. Who won that battle? The studios? The writers? The audience? Noboby? And 2023 is a $4B box office year, but the gap caused by the strikes could have long-lasting repercu...

First: No, we're not back. This is a one-off. But it's six months to the day from our 14th anniversary, and it's six months to the day until our 15th anniversary.

The Walt Disney Company has seen better times. And while some of their hardship can be attributed to external forces -- pandemic, inflation, etc. -- a lot of the company's woes can be laid at the feet of the man who's now trying to save it: Bob Iger. Iger built Disney by buying up other companies, other studios. Now he has to shave and carve and ultimately pull apart the behemoth he built in order...

Amidst the on-going union strike by the Writers Guild, many actors -- members of their own union -- stood on the picket lines in solidarity. Now, the members of SAG-AFTRA are picketing themselves as the actors join the writers in a strike. As Hollywood grinds to a halt, the implications of a long-term pair of strikes come into focus. Not since 1960 have these two unions struck together at the same...

Is that Snow White? Well, is it? At first, maybe it was. But then Disney said it wasn't. But then they said maybe it was, and then it's not really official, except it's kind of official. Meanwhile, Bob Iger seems content to drive the stock price off a cliff...

"If you change your story...you can change your life." So says author Roy M Griffis, who decided to be a writer when he was ten years old. Since then, he's published several novels and written screenplays and stage plays. His script COLD DAY IN HELL won the first John Milius Screenwriting Award. Today we get into some philosophy, some story craft, and that new book he's working on... https://roymg...

Well, then. Didn't see this one coming...
