Not how I expected him to come back but okay.

What exactly does @roywoodjr have to do to get this job? Showing unflinching loyalty to the show and being one of the funniest people alive isn’t enough?

Is losing 300-500 million to avoid paying 60 million to writers & actors a smart business strategy? I'm conflicted. thewrap.com/warner-bros-disc…

What I find most interesting about the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon is that the media initially framed the release date as a competition, but the fan community turned it into a friendly joint marketing movement that benefited both films.

From 2011-2015, Viacom (now Paramount Global) spent 15 billion dollars on stock buybacks that are now worth less than 4 billion. The 11+ billion they flushed down the toilet could have paid for the WGA’s current contractual requests for *37 YEARS*

For context: 200 million is roughly the annual deficit between what the WGA asked for and what the studios offered (and that amount would have been divided between all 8 studios, whereas this loss is borne entirely by Warner.)

The AMPTP couldn’t have handled this worse. Their arrogance with the WGA only emboldened SAG. If they’d accepted the WGA’s terms they’d probably have deals with all 3 unions today. Instead, they are going to feel financial pain that far outweighs what they were asked to concede.
