Disney’s CEO Bob Iger has unveiled a strategy to “quiet the noise” and refocus the entertainment conglomerate’s efforts on its core mission—entertainment and storytelling.

The feud between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has gained significant attention in recent months. DeSantis has been critical of Disney’s involvement in political and cultural matters, accusing the company of wading into divisive topics that have fueled polarization.

Iger expressed his concerns about the company becoming embroiled in culture wars. He emphasized the importance of maintaining Disney’s reputation as a beloved and inclusive brand that appeals to a wide audience.

Under Iger’s guidance, Disney plans to depoliticise its public image and redirect its focus towards producing high-quality content that resonates with viewers of all backgrounds.

This strategic shift includes reducing the company’s involvement in political contributions and refraining from taking positions on contentious issues.

While some critics argue that Disney should continue to use its influence to address important societal matters, Iger believes that it’s crucial for the company to preserve its image as a source of joy and entertainment for families worldwide.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
