One?

Wait, if you do one and I do one, that's two and that's compromise, right?

That's a really good reason.

Okay, in addition to that one, to make it two, like I wanted a compromise, I like the idea of there being a news show that feels like the experience of going through the news, that feels like it's made by your fellow human who wants to understand the news and not like it's made by some all-knowing, almighty force.

And I like to think that our show is that show.

Great.

And lately you've been writing features about one individual.

Is it fair to say said individual is like maybe the biggest Nepo baby on earth at the moment, at least?

Does he become less of a nepo baby scion and more of a legitimate player?

And you've done a bunch of interviews.

You've spoken with anonymous Hollywood executives, it sounds like.

Are they...

Feeling more hopeful in a moment like this where there's been a bunch of consolidation, but also a ton of money infused into the industry?

Or are they terrified that this is all going to implode?

Reeves Weidemann wrote the two definitive profile-y pieces about David Ellison.

They're called One Nepo to Rule Them All and The Son, King of Hollywood.

And you can find them both along with the writings of our guide Joe from earlier in the show at Vulture.com.
