David Zaslav Needs to Resign As Warner Bros. Discovery CEO

After the latest Warner Bros. Discovery debacle surrounding Coyote vs. Acme, it’s becoming increasingly clear that David Zaslav should resign. What we’re looking at right now is the last straw of the last straw. We’ve certainly seen too many at this point. It is also completely irresponsible of Zaslav and Warner Bros. Pictures leadership to reject any offers to buy Coyote vs. Acme. Netflix, Amazon and Paramount all have an interest in the film. Hell,…

Paramount, Warner Bros. In Talks To Merge

In what will likely be overturned by the Department of Justice or FTC, Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery are in early merger talks. This is a developing story. One can only hope that the government steps in and stops it in the path over monopoly concerns. Help us DOJ and FTC, you’re our only hope! What we know at the moment is that Shari Redstone is looking to sell her shares in Paramount Global parent…

David Zaslav Is Bad For Warner Bros. And Hollywood

David Zaslav is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with Hollywood and has no business running Warner Bros. Discovery. Is it too late to undo the merger that landed Warner Bros. at Discovery Communications? Action after action on account of Zaslav is just sickening and infuriating. As someone who loves movies and has great respect for the work that that Harry, Sam, Albert, and Jack Warner built together, watching everything happening just makes…

The Bill of Rights: A Warner Bros. Patriotic Short

The Bill of Rights is one of Warner Bros.’ many patriotic shorts about American history as the studio did its part in the lead up to WWII. “Destroy the Bill of Rights, and freedom will pass from America as surely as day passes into night. Scorned in many hands, assailed even here, it is the final safeguard of the individual!” The short film starts out in 1774 in Williamsburg, Virginia before cutting to scenes of…

The Declaration of Independence: A Patriotic Short Film

The Declaration of Independence is an Oscar-winning short film and one of Warner Bros.’ many patriotic shorts about American history. The film offers a short glance at the Continental Congress’ meeting during the summer of 1776. As soon as they adopted the document in July 1776, their lives were at stake. We know that the British captured five and tortured them. After all, the Crown viewed this as a high act of treason against England.…

100 Years of Warner Bros.: A Deep Dive Into Studio History

Filmmaker Leslie Iwerks makes the deep dive into Warner Bros. history in four documentary specials that comprise 100 Years of Warner Bros. The first two specials just premiered during the Cannes Film Festival. There’s so much studio history but there’s only so much film that one can fit into a what is basically a four-part documentary. While the studio refers to 100 Years of Warner Bros. as being four different documentary specials, it feels like…

Warner Bros.: An Open Letter to David Zaslav

On the eve of Warner Bros. marking the studio’s 100th anniversary, it breaks my heart to read that David Zaslav wants a Harry Potter series. I wish I was going into the anniversary by getting ready to schedule something about the studio’s anniversary. After all, 100 years is a pretty big deal. Instead, I’m taking the time, yet again, to write another open letter to Warner Bros. It’s an unfortunate trend that started with the…

Batgirl, Racism, and Transphobia

In the days following the cancellation of Batgirl, it became more than apparent that racism and transphobia played a role. Prior to logging offline for Shabbos, I started seeing social media leaking the film’s plot and test screening reviews. As a transgender woman let alone film/TV critic, I couldn’t be more surprised by what I saw. The fact of the matter is I don’t like that my gut instinct was right: racism and transphobia were…
