Welcome to this week's weekly discussion thread of r/MediaMergers! This is your space to discuss the latest news, rumors, and insights on mergers, acquisitions, and major shifts in the media and entertainment industry. Share articles, spark debates, and connect with others.

This weeks episode was posted late, but recorded on Sunday August 23, 2026 (due to editing delays on my end and work schedule). We made this prior to Disney announcing the Pokemon Deal, or even The Town doing a Disney episode, but think you will find it interesting. Please post in the comments if you are wanting us to discuss a different studio when we do our discussion next week. If there is anyone else that would like to join and come on as a guest from the sub, please send us a DM!

Thanks for watching, and be nice!! We do this for fun and love of the industry!
