Episode 45 - Discovery Buys WarnerMedia

Warner Bender Podcast

On this incredibly special episode of The AT&WB Podcast, we say goodbye to the AT& portion of the podcast. AT&T has officially sold off it's stake in WB to the folks at Discovery Channel and David Zaslav, who Discovery discovered in 2006, is now steering the entire Warner Brothers boat. He's making drastic decisions which seem to compromise the artist for the sake of saving a few bucks. We go over everything from the cancelation of BATGIRL, to the erasure of INFINITY TRAIN and the dropped original content on HBO Max to Discovery's breakdown of demographics and the incredibly rich history of systemic racism in the first 100 years of Warner Brothers. Actor, creative director, friend and entertainment industry hound Brando Cutts joins me to WBreakdown the entirety of the buyout, the rumors of Henry Cavill's return, WB angering creatives such as Nolan and Legendary Entertainment, and I even find the perfect bat-shark repellant joke. We crunch every number from rotten tomato to every dollar SHAZAM made on DVD and Halle's Berry's CATWOMAN made in theaters!
