Hollywood goes to Washington for a tax break

<p dir="ltr">This week, Kim Masters reports on the newly formed <a href="https://www.usfilmandtv.org/">U.S. Film and Television Production Coalition</a> and its push for <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/film-tv-production-caucus-congress-1236700659/">a federal tax incentive</a> to stem the loss of production overseas. Members representing studios, producers and unions lay out the industry&rsquo;s unusually unified campaign, the backing of President Donald Trump, and the details that still have to survive Congress.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Plus, Masters and Matt Belloni give a brief update on the rollout of Bari Weiss&rsquo;s new 60 Minutes. Spoiler: the early ratings are not good. The banter partners also turn to a pair of surprises from the documentary world, including reports that Universal considered <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/elon-musk-movie-gibney-canceled-universal-1236704232/">holding back</a> Alex Gibney&rsquo;s upcoming Elon Musk documentary from a global theatrical release, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/09/netanyahu-naza-directors-israeli-citizenship-1237105933/">escalating threats</a> against the directors of NAZA following the film&rsquo;s Venice debut.</p>
