Regarding Disney, the conversation takes a critical turn. The entertainment giant, long accused of greed and mismanagement, appears to be facing significant struggles—especially with their linear TV offerings and theme parks. The report highlights Disney’s attempt to merge Hulu with ABC, a move seen as an effort to stay afloat amid declining cable revenues.

The host notes that Disney’s continued push into streaming, with hybrid approaches like simultaneous broadcasts, might be futile if traditional linear viewers continue to dwindle. He speculates that the company's obsession with direct-to-consumer (DTC) models might be harming their core business. The overall tone signals concern about Disney's future viability and the necessity for internal rebranding efforts.
