<p>Disney’s streaming numbers soar as announced in the company’s <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-q4-2024-earnings-streaming-deadpool-1236061567/">earnings report</a> earlier this week, but questions remain in the ongoing search for a new CEO. Also, what’s next for the company’s Film and Parks divisions? Matt Belloni and Kim Masters break down Disney’s Q4 earnings report.</p>
<p>Plus, Masters speaks to Edward Berger about his latest film <em>Conclave. </em>The German director tells us how studying filmmaking at NYU in the 90s led him to an internship at the indie production company <em>Good Machine. </em>He also sings the praises of Netflix, which he reveals was the only financier daring enough to pay for his grim German-language war film <em>All Quiet on the Western Front. </em>The film went on to receive four Academy Awards, including Best International feature film.</p>
