Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">Kim Masters and Matt Belloni examine the secret battle for <a href="https://puck.news/the-murdoch-succession-trial-will-or-wont-be-televised/">succession</a> among the family of billionaire Rupert Murdoch. They also take a look at a curious Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/josh-damaro-disney-parks-chairman-0dbdb13c">profile</a> on Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Plus, we revisit Masters’ conversation with writer Justin Kuritzkes about the rollout of his first screenplay, Challengers, now a full-fledged film directed by Luca Guadagnino. He talks about how the Zendaya-led project was inspired by a US Open match that eventually led to him becoming a tennis obsessive. And he shares how he and his wife Celine Song — who experienced a similar career whirlwind last year with her Oscar-nominated feature Past Lives — manage to keep their work separate from their relationship.</p>
