NEWS: Disney's New CEO, Netflix Senate Antitrust Hearing, Leading Roles for Women in Film & Box Office Check-In

This week on PREVIOUSLY ON…, Jason and Rosie break down new trailers for season two of Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael, and A24’s dramedy The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. They then check in on the box office, including returns for Markiplier’s self-funded horror film Iron Lung and Scream 7’s projected $30M opening weekend. Next, they discuss a new USC study showing that lead roles for women in film hit a seven-year low in 2025, and which studios were most responsible. From there, they weigh in on Netflix’s Senate antitrust hearing, which quickly devolved into a culture-war clash over “wokeness” and DEI. Finally, they break down Disney’s newly announced compensation packages for incoming CEO Josh D’Amaro and CCO Dana Walden, set to take over from Bob Iger next month.
