Summary

Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss how the way that actors make money in Hollywood is changing, pivoting from up-front buyouts to a more traditional model of back-end-contingent profit participation. They discuss which model makes the most sense in 2024 and beyond and how this might differ for talent and talent representation (03:47). Lucas sticks around to announce the results of the 2024 Concert Tour Draft from 'The Town' (26:03).

0:00.0	Hey, everyone, it's Matt here. Before you skip ahead, I wanted to remind you that if you like this
0:04.5	podcast, you'll probably love Puck, where I write a newsletter twice a week called What I'm Hearing.
0:09.8	It's got tons of inside analysis, tidbits about what's really going on in Hollywood. It's where I

1:15.6	Do we really need another computer?

1:19.6	Not everyone does.
1:21.6	But to reinvent music using a neural processor, work off the grid with all-day battery,
1:25.6	or bring your vision to life with AI-powered
1:27.8	co-creator, then a copilot plus PC can make a difference. A powerful AI computer is not for
