Sean and Amanda kick off the show by reacting to a laundry list of movie news, including the new trailer for Denis Villeneuve's ‘Dune: Part Three,' starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya; the reports that Bradley Cooper will direct a new 'Ocean's 11' prequel for Warner Bros.; and Universal's decision to extend theatrical windows for new releases (1:15). Then, they open up the mailbag for a post-Oscars hangover discussion and talk through whether or not Chalamet will be OK going forward, what the Oscars can do differently when they move over to YouTube, and how the industry can build positive momentum around the good energy surrounding the state of cinema (35:22).

Despite holding one of the most powerful microphones in the world, the silence from major winners at the Oscars regarding human rights and the rise of fascism was the real star.  When artists like Paul Thomas Anderson, whose film One Battle After Another swept the awards, refuse to use their power to address the very real injustices their films capitalize on, they "obey in advance." This silence is the symptom of massive corporate media consolidation. Director David Borenstein, winner of best documentary for Mr. Nobody Against Putin, used his power morally to remind us that this is how Putin cemented a dictatorship.  With the looming merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and the MAGA Ellison family's Paramount Skydance, we face a future where 40% of our media is controlled by a single far-right family. If you want to know what that might look like, see what Barri Weiss is doing to CBS.  See you at the Gaslit Nation Salon today at 4 PM ET.

I am calling to urge Governor Newsom to publicly oppose the Ellison takeover of Warner Bros. This merger threatens jobs and creates a dangerous media monopoly.

Hour 1: Don't forget to wear your green tomorrow! Access Hollywood has been cancelled. Mario Lopez is gonna need a new gig. Buzzfeed is reportedly bleeding money. A heatwave? In March?! Vinnie is still ruminating on Friday's Bad Advice. Here's why so many Californians are moving to Reno. Slumberstitions are helping you sleep. To top sheet or not to top sheet - that is the question. Hour 2: Were the Oscars funny? Here are the big winners of the night, including which of our gang had the best predictions. Paul Thomas Anderson and ‘One Battle After Another' beat ‘Sinners.' Amy Madigan got her flowers for ‘Weapons' after a long career. Spring is about to be sprung. A shocking number of GenZ men have traditional views. Fremont, you might see the new Doordash Dot in the bike lane. (51:47) Hour 3: Has the Savannah Guthrie case gone cold? Sarah has a sketchy update from the sheriff's department. Those cameras in your doorway don't seem to be catching crooks. Susan is hoping Bob wants to slow down on the partying soon. Rebel Wilson's PR team is up to no good. The Razzies named the worst entertainment of the year. Larry David is at it again with ‘Life, Larry, and The Pursuit of Unhappiness' - a new sketch comedy show satirizing US history. Get your March Madness brackets done before it's too late. Embarrassment is uniquely human. Target says they're phasing out toys. (1:31:41) Hour 4: Sarah actually thought Harry Styles was funny on SNL this weekend. Can Zach Bryan read the Jack Kerouac scroll he just bought? Sam Smith ate his way through The Bay - including Sarah's neighborhood! THE famous Pink Floyd guitar just sold for big bucks. Happy National Panda Day! Jane Fonda was protesting the Paramount and Warner Brothers merger at The Oscars. Human brains are prone to distractions - don't be too hard on yourself. Is it worth being in the Guinness Book of World Records if THIS is what you have to do?! And, When Did That Happen? (2:14:00)

At the end of 1997, Kevin Costner's second film as director - The Postman - made its way into cinemas, at the end of a difficult year for Warner Bros. The $80m, three hour movie would be savaged by critics, and fail to find an audience - but there was quite the story behind the film, before and after. There's quite a story too to Wag The Dog, a movie that could fit into the schedules when a far more expensive project was hit by a delay. And the political satire that followed made headlines for unexpected reasons within months of its release. Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a total flip from 2024 and proof that advertisers are chasing audiences to YouTube, not cable.

This week, the boys headed to 1970 to the new decade of the new wave of American independent cinema! Bob Rafelson's “Five Easy Pieces” established the behavior-driven, theme-over-plot indie movies that paved the way for the best era for indies. Jack Nicholson is a badass (asshole) prodigy-turned-roustabout looking to find himself in people he's willing to screw over in Bob Rafelson's seminal movie. After John fires off some mini-reviews and news, we set up the film year of 1970 before we drink beers and try to keep our conversation positive! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

“It's a crazy irony that your reward for incredible artistic success in modern Hollywood is that you then get to lay off a bunch of your employees,” Prestige Junkie host Katey Rich tells Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey in the run-up to Sunday's Oscars, where two Warner Bros. films — Sinners and One Battle After Another — are going head-to-head for best picture right as Paramount Skydance is about to swallow the studio whole. “It really couldn't be a more perfect metaphor for how backward so many of the industry's priorities are.” Speaking of which, The Business of Television author and former head of business affairs at Paramount TV and Amazon Studios, Ken Basin, stops by to chat about the current state of dealmaking in television, how much the Paramount-Warner merger is going to weigh on day-to-day business (“Warners is effectively frozen”), and what Netflix should do with its $2.8 billion breakup fee.

The news is relentless in pace as well as issues, isn't it? This week we're trying something a bit different: Adam sits with previous guests Jason Koebler, tech journalist from 404 Media, and comedian Dylan McKeever to wade through the muck of this week's biggest stories. The trio talks about the government's stiffy for AI-powered war machines, the whoever-wins-we-lose Warner Bros. Discovery merger, and a glimmer of hope for trans rights.

In front of an audience at Chapman University, the co-chairs/co-CEOs of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group reflect on their paths through the business as producers and execs over the last three decades; their crazy 2025, during which they went from almost losing their jobs to presiding over one of the most successful years any studio has ever had; and what it's like being behind both horses in a two-horse best picture Oscar race, 'Sinners' and 'One Battle After Another.'

It's Wednesday, March 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Growing anti-Christian violence in Europe Experts warned of growing anti-Christian violence and legal pressure in Europe during a recent session of the United Nations Humans Rights Council. Christians in Europe faced nearly 800 hate crimes and over 2,000 violent incidents in 2024. The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe documents such cases. Anja Tang, executive director of the observatory, told The Christian Post, “Several European governments have targeted individuals through criminal procedures for peacefully expressing their religious beliefs.” 8 Americans and 13 Israelis have died in Iranian conflict The death toll for American military personnel has reached eight since the beginning of the Iran conflict.  A U.S. soldier, whose name is yet to be released, died from wounds sustained in Iran's March 1st attack on an American base in Saudi Arabia, and a national guardsman died from a medical emergency in Kuwait on March 6th. Six soldiers were also killed by an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait, and their remains were transported back to the United States and honored.  Additionally, Israel has recorded 13 deaths since the outbreak of the war, and several have been killed in Gulf States friendly to the United States and Israel. In Psalm 43:1, the psalmist says, “Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.” Trump to Iran: Stop blocking oil tankers or else! U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Monday to escalate the war with Iran if the country blocks oil tanker traffic from the Middle East.  In response, oil prices fell by 15% yesterday. During the war with Iran, prices have increased to levels not seen since 2022. These oil prices have affected the price of gasoline at the pump in America. The AAA national average for gas reached $3.54 per gallon yesterday. That's up nearly fifty cents from a year ago.  Christians are not safe in New York City Two men linked with ISIS attempted a bomb attack on a right-wing protest in New York City over the weekend.  Thankfully, police were able to intercept the devices, and no one was injured. New York City Council Member Joann Ariola spoke with Newsmax host Todd Starnes in a recent interview.  She offered a chilling answer to Starnes' direct question. STARNES: “Are the Christian and Jewish citizens of New York City safe tonight?” ARIOLA:  “They're not safe. No one is safe, because finally, our mayor [Zohran Mamdami], has recognized that these are radical Muslim Islamic ISIS driven terrorists, and they are in our midst. “We can thank the Biden and Obama administration for these cells being allowed to cross into our borders and be in our city and many cities across the United States of America.” DOJ to Missouri: Don't worry about mailed Abortion Kill Pills Sadly, the Trump administration is not siding with states that are challenging the distribution of abortion drugs. The U.S. Department of Justice recently moved to dismiss a case brought by Missouri against Mifepristone, the mail-order Abortion Kill Pill. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, told LifeNews, “The pro-life movement has very simple demands. There should be no place on the market for drugs meant to poison and kill innocent human beings – but at the very least, this administration can and should take them out of the mail.” Proverbs 24:11 says, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” Entertainment merger gives Ellison family a major stake The Paramount Skydance Corporation is set to acquire  Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion after Netflix withdrew its offer. The merger continues consolidating power in the hands of the Ellison family, who now own a major stake in the American media and entertainment industry. Currently, CNN is a division of Warner Bros. Discovery and known for its left-wing bent. Paramount CEO David Ellison is on good terms with President Trump. Ellison has promised significant changes to CNN if he becomes the owner.  Former Christian firefighter gets compensation over religious discrimination And finally, a former volunteer chaplain with the Austin, Texas Fire Department recently won his case over religious discrimination. Andrew Fox served with the city's fire chaplaincy program for eight years. Everything was fine until he shared his religious views on a personal blog. FOX: “I wrote that men and women are biologically different, and that men should not compete on women's sports teams. When city officials demanded that I recant and apologize for the harm my blog post allegedly caused, I explained that my intent was to foster discussion, not to cause offense. What I could not do was renounce my beliefs or apologize for my faith.” In response, Texas officials fired him. Alliance Defending Freedom helped him secure a favorable settlement with the city. Hal Frampton with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “This vindication of Dr. Fox's constitutionally-protected free speech should give hope to all those who wish to share their voice freely.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

A War, A Bride, and Kaiju Vibes This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl review Netflix's sci-fi military action movie War Machine, break down Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild gothic swing The Bride!, and head back into the Monsterverse for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 War Machine: 8:50 The Bride!: 30:50 Monarch: 55:22 War Machine (2026) Netflix original movie Directed by Patrick Hughes Stars Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney Premise: Army Ranger selection turns into a fight against a giant alien killing machine Did the premise rule or feel like rejected action-figure packaging copy? Is Alan Ritchson becoming the king of “large man solves impossible nonsense” cinema? Was this dumb-fun in the right way or just loud? Ratings out of 10 When ED 209 Gets on Gear and Rampages Brian: 6.15/10 Darryl: 7.2/10 The Bride! (2026) Theatrical release from Warner Bros. Directed and written by Maggie Gyllenhaal Stars Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, Penélope Cruz Premise: In 1930s Chicago, Frank seeks a companion, and a murdered woman is brought back to life as the Bride Ambitious art-horror fairy tale or self-conscious prestige weirdness? How was Christian Bale's monster performance? Did the punk tone work? Did the movie deserve better than its opening weekend, or was the audience basically saying “absolutely not, you little goblin”? Rating out of 10 Mary Shelly’s Bonnie and Clyde Possession Acid Trip Brian: 6.2/10 Darryl:5.1/10 Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (AppleTV) Apple TV+ Monsterverse series Season 2 premiered February 27, 2026 Episode 1: Cause and Effect Summary Season 2 opens with Monarch thrown into chaos by Keiko's return after being presumed dead for decades. At the same time, Cate goes against orders to try to save Shaw, and that rescue effort helps unleash a dangerous new Titan. Broadly, the episode works as a reset button for the season: it reconnects the fractured cast, throws everyone back into crisis mode, and pushes the story deeper into Skull Island and the larger Titan threat. Episode 2: Resonance Summary The second episode splits its tension between two fronts. Lee and Keiko investigate a secretive village tied to a cult-like devotion to a mysterious sea creature, while Cate runs into a deadly stowaway situation on the Monarch side of the story. Reviews and synopses describe the episode as expanding the threat beyond Skull Island, with a rogue Titan moving toward busy shipping lanes, so it feels less like setup and more like the season starting to flex its monster-muscle a bit. Returning cast includes Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, Anders Holm, and Takehiro Hira Did the season come back strong? Are the human characters finally balancing better with the monster spectacle?

The bidding war between Paramount and Netflix over the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery appeared to come to a close last week, when Netflix backed out. The Times journalists Nicole Sperling, Lauren Hirsch and Jonathan Mahler discuss this Hollywood drama fit for the big screen, and why it could reshape our political and cultural landscape. Guest: Nicole Sperling, a New York Times reporter in Los Angeles, covering Hollywood and the streaming revolution. Lauren Hirsch, a New York Times reporter who covers the biggest stories on Wall Street, including mergers and acquisitions. Jonathan Mahler, a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine. Background reading:  Paramount raised its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery last week. Netflix lost Warner Bros., but maybe that's a good thing.
