From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

After budget blowups, a leadership change, and pandemic delays, the long-awaited Academy Museum is finally open.

We take a whirlwind tour to hear how the museum covers all aspects of the movie business and has lots of fun stuff, too.

The ruby red slippers.

The typewriter used to type psycho, Leo's Revenant bodycast, and here is Rosebud.

Academy Museum Director and President Bill Kramer and curator Jenny He walk us through the new museum.

There's much to celebrate, but Kramer explains why the curators did not shy away from the ugly side of Hollywood history. But first, we banter. Stick

around. It's the business from KCRW. I'm joined by my partner in banter, Matt Bellany. Hello, Matt. Hi there. So, the talk of the town this past week has largely been about CAA's acquisition of ICM.

ICM has some major clients in the, especially the TV space, Sean DeRimes, Vince Gilligan, Ellen DeGeneres.

It has not been as strong in film.

And honestly, they've been through some vagaries.

I think they were hampered years ago by previous management in the Jeff Berg, Jim Wyatt era.

And it's been a struggle.

And at this point, the struggle has been given up.

They are being bought by CAA.

And CAA, as we believe, does not want all of ICM.

No, this is an acquisition.

Someone, you know, joked me this week.

Have you heard about Squid Game?

And I'm like, oh, you mean the show?

They're like, no, no, no, what CAA is going to do to ICM?

Oh, harsh, yeah.
