Reply to comment by Brainiac7777777 in Warner Bros. Discovery Sees $2.1 Billion Loss in Q4 After Big Writedown; Ad Sales Tumble by Neo2199
AT&T doesn’t own Warner Media anymore; Discovery does. That’s why Warner is in so much debt; AT&T has been a horribly run company for years and had amassed an insane amount of debt. They decided to redistribute a huge chunk of that debt (~$50 billion) to Warner Media when spinning the company off to Discovery. That’s why there’s been a bloodbath at Warner under the new boss Zaslav - the company is going under if they don’t shed a shit ton of debt in the coming years. AT&T was pumping out tons of content in an effort to make HBO Max a Netflix competitor, but the problem is HBO Max hasn’t really grown much since launching three years ago. AT&T also gutted things like DC Comics, pondered selling off the entire video game division at one point (which Zaslav rightfully sees as a huge potential moneymaker and wants more funding to go towards), and managed to weaken major IP like Harry Potter and DC. That’s not getting into AT&T’s comical business blunders like buying DirecTV while cable is dying. They may be a big company, but AT&T is absolutely inept when compared to major players like Amazon and Apple. If Discovery can’t pay off it’s debts and Warner Media folds with them, then the death of one of the legacy studios is on AT&T’s hands, not Discovery’s. I’m not convinced the company is necessarily going to be in better hands with Discovery, but at this point it has a chance of surviving, at least.

Why not just play the same episode on repeat. Anyone who watches won't be able to tell the difference.

Ooh interesting. I've always suspected that KK was the reason behind the failures of the sequel trilogy and beyond, but to get something like that from a show under RJ's purview would certainly be saying something.

I was pretty rattled by the movie but if I’m honest it was the editing more than the creatures. That face tracking they do on Pennywise when he’s getting real murdery haunts my dreams

He was my favourite character on Homicide and it’s amazing he was able to play that character for so long.

Un-Stabler is the definition of a bad cop. Aggressive, cruel, literally assaulting everyone first chance he gets - a terrible character to show being successful at a law enforcement career.

Quite funny she failed the audition to be his girlfriend in the office. Ricky gervais would mention Martin and her occasionally on his xfm radio showcase they used to socialize together. Bet that was awkward
But this is a nothing headline isn't it? It's very different nepo baby issues.
Matthew McFadden and Keeley Hawes just played a husband and wife in a itv series about a real MP who faked his death. That must have been weird to play and then go home together!

I doubt that. Imagine if they would cancel Stranger Things or The Boys like this.
Don't remember something that big ever happening, but that would be wild.

I forgot this show existed and was renewed. It's been over 2 years, of course it wasn't actually coming back... Brett Goldstein has been too busy.

Episode 3.
Generally the series works in blocks of 3 episodes. You get 2 episodes of buildup and then a payoff episode. Episode 6 is the second big payoff and as you see in this thread it's a pretty magnificent episode. The second half of the series once you're invested is amazing.
I love Star Wars so I found joy in each episode. But I get that not everyone loves the setting as much as I do.
