Summary
Disney just made a huge leadership move — and it could change everything. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the surprising news that Disney Parks boss Josh D'Amaro has officially been named the new CEO of Disney, replacing Bob Iger. What does this mean for Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and the future of Disney as a whole? Is this the reset fans have been waiting for, or a risky pivot at a critical moment for the company?
Plus, we dive into one of the most fascinating Hollywood stories right now: a YouTuber who self-financed his own horror movie… and somehow turned it into a bizarre monster hit. How did it happen, what does it say about the future of indie films and creators, and could this be the blueprint for the next wave of filmmakers?
All that and more — let's get into it.
