Disney’s $1 Billion AI Deal Changes Hollywood Forever | Why the Ellisons Now Control Entertainment
Welcome To The Real Oshow,
0:00 Intro
1:15 Who Created The Heisman Trophy?
2:10 2026 Movie Releases
4:04 Disney's $1 Billion Deal With Sora
17:35 Why the Ellisons Now Control Entertainment
18:40 Closing Thoughts
In this episode, we break down one of the most important media deals in years — Disney’s $1 billion partnership with OpenAI’s Sora, and why it signals a complete reset of how Hollywood will create, protect, and control stories in the AI era.
Disney didn’t just sign this deal to experiment with new technology. This is about cutting production costs, protecting its most valuable IP, and staying ahead of a future where fans can generate studio-quality content on their own. From Pixar and Marvel to Star Wars and ESPN, we dive into how Sora could fundamentally reshape Disney’s creative pipeline — and why Disney wants a seat at the table before AI-generated Mickey Mouse content floods the internet.
But the Disney story is only part of a much bigger shift happening in entertainment.
By the end of the episode, we zoom out and explain how David Ellison and Larry Ellison have quietly become two of the most powerful figures in Hollywood. Between AI infrastructure, cloud dominance, studio ownership, and media consolidation, the Ellison family now sits at the intersection of technology, content, and distribution — a position that traditionally belonged to legacy studios alone. Hollywood power is no longer just about directors and actors — it’s about who controls the tech behind the stories.
Earlier in the podcast, we also hit two important side stories shaping the moment:
• A quick but fascinating breakdown of John Heisman, the man whose impact on football was so massive they named the sport’s most iconic trophy after him.
• A look ahead at 2026’s upcoming movie slate, and why it represents a true post-pandemic reset for the film industry — with studios finally ready to take big swings again after years of cautious releases.
