When Pedro Pascal appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, much of the online reaction framed the interaction as harmless comedy. The moment in question involved Pascal repeatedly escalating physical affection and ultimately pressuring host Stephen Colbert into...
Tolkien fans have called on Amazon to cancel Rings of Power since its inception due to high costs and a rapidly diminishing audience. But it turns out that’s a lot easier said than done.
The “Cancel Netflix” campaign has only been active for a few days, but Wall Street is already telling the story loud and clear through stock prices. Fueled by Elon Musk and conservative influencers on X, the movement is cutting into Netflix’s valuation at a pace that should terrify Hollywood. By contrast, Disney’s own recent cancellation drama involving Jimmy Kimmel barely made a ripple in the financial markets.
The call to Cancel Netflix is gaining steam, and it’s no longer just about one cartoon. What began as outrage over Dead End: Paranormal Park — a Netflix kids’ series with a main character who identifies with a gender that differs from birth and is rated for children as young as seven — has snowballed into a larger campaign against the streaming giant’s entire kids and family slate.
James Gunn called fans “racists” in a recent interview while admitting that he has no oversight from WB on DCU projects.
After disabling the “Peaceful Hips” emote earlier this week, Epic Games has issued a formal clarification alongside Warner Bros. Games. In their statement, Epic stressed that there was “no creative intention” to tie the Fortnite emote to any of the World War 2-era German themes revealed in Peacemaker Season 2.
Elon Musk has officially pulled the plug on Netflix, sparking a new wave of cancellations after outrage over Dead End: Paranormal Park, a show that Netflix rated for children ages 7 and up despite centering its story around gender ideology and PRIDE-centric characters.
Late-night television staged an unusual crossover this week as Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert appeared on each other’s shows to publicly commiserate about the crises surrounding their programs. On the surface, it was a moment of solidarity. Dig a little deeper, and the spectacle revealed more about the deflection strategies of late-night hosts than about the state of their shows.
Bill O’Reilly has dropped a bombshell about the real reason Disney restored Jimmy Kimmel to the airwaves. Speaking on NewsNation, O’Reilly said the move had nothing to do with free speech or principles of open debate. Instead, he claims Hollywood talent agencies strong-armed Bob Iger and the Disney leadership team into bringing the late-night host back.
James Gunn might be making Warner Bros more and more uncomfortable with Peacemaker Season 2, but they're not the only ones. After an episode that has John Cena dancing in a way that harkens to symbolism of World War II era Germany, Fortnite has pulled the dance from...
Disney and ABC spent much of this week trying to trumpet the big Jimmy Kimmel return to late-night television (after the host spread misinformation about the Charlie Kirk tragedy) as a ratings comeback story. On paper, the numbers for his first night back looked like a victory: roughly 6.3 million viewers tuned in on September 23rd, marking his strongest performance in over a decade. But the spike didn’t last.
The largest affiliate blackout in modern television history has come to an end. Nexstar Media Group, the final holdout in a weeks-long revolt against Jimmy Kimmel Live!, has announced it will restore the late-night program to its ABC stations nationwide. The decision follows Sinclair Broadcasting’s earlier retreat, leaving Disney and Jimmy Kimmel with an unchallenged victory.
Disney/ABC has leverage through its private affiliation contracts (including renewal, termination for breach, and compensation mechanics) in the past, but U.S. rules and long-standing FCC guidance make punitive withholding of other ABC shows a legally risky move.
