There’s not many great options for future of Warner Bros and where it could be sold, but also preserved. NBCUniversal might be one of the few options that keeps WB intact as a theatrical studio while valuing the IP. The worst option by far is being sold to Paramount/Skydance.

THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is not just a docudrama, it’s essential for anyone blind to the war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza. A harrowing reminder of life under occupation, the horrors of war, and the cost of remaining silent amidst genocide. The most important film of 2025.

#WICKED: FOR GOOD continues the momentum of the first film with powerhouse performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. It’s not as consistent as P1 and Chu’s directing style still has hiccups, but the emotional weight of the actors and the songs from the musical deliver.

MARTY SUPREME is an easy contender for best film of the year. Timothée Chalamet is an absolute tour de force in a career best performance. Josh Safdie masterfully directs this film, injecting it with chaos, anxiety and a an energy that dials up to 11 and stays there. Electric.

Joined NewsNation this weekend to review WICKED: FOR GOOD, discuss the film’s momentum at the box office and what to expect from the industry this Thanksgiving:

As I continue my journey through ONE PIECE, I was absolutely floored by the storytelling and themes of the Marineford Arc. One of the most gripping narratives I’ve come across in the anime/manga space and it definitely feels like a culmination of the first 500 episodes. Perfect.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH further proves why James Cameron is one cut above the rest on big-budget blockbusters. The film continues to set the bar for cutting-edge visuals and immersion. The world building is strong and the battle sequences are incredible. While some narrative beats

LeBron scored at least 10 points for 17 straight years. That’s 1,297 games in a row. The streak ended tonight with LeBron passing to his teammate for the game-winning shot. Will probably never be done again in NBA history. Crazy to see

Netflix wasn’t my first choice to purchase Warner Bros, but it definitely wasn’t my last either. I have reservations about Netflix keeping their promise on full theatrical releases for WB films, but handing the studio to the Ellison family and Paramount would have been

This would be incredible. One reason I felt Universal was a strong choice to buy WB was the theme park synergy. While Netflix ultimately won the bid, if Universal and Warner Bros can agree to use DC IP at the parks, it’s a huge win. Epic Universe or Islands of Adventure could

Congrats to ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER for winning the #CriticsChoiceAwards! Definitely one of the best films of the year and an incredible experience on the big screen.

A woman is dead after ICE shot her. That is the human cost of reckless actions that continue to put citizens and immigrants at risk. Seeing this administration quickly defend ICE before a full investigation reflects the increasingly authoritarian reality we live in. Scary times.

Absolute Superman has been really compelling. Shades of Morrison's New 52 and a Golden Age charm where Kal is truly champion of the oppressed. The first 14 issues had ebbs and flows in its narrative beats but the core was strong. The new #15 brought some really poignant moments.
