This week on PREVIOUSLY ON…, Jason and Rosie break down Paramount’s reported win in the bidding war for Warner Bros., after Netflix bows out. They also react to new trailers for Mortal Kombat II, the newly announced Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, and Steven Soderbergh’s next film, The Christophers, starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel.
Next, they dive into Variety’s in-depth profile of incoming Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro, examining the major challenges he faces as he takes the reins of the company and oversees powerhouse IP like Star Wars and Marvel, both of which have faced increasing uncertainty in recent years.
They also cover the news that disgraced actor Jonathan Majors is set to star in an upcoming action film produced by conservative media company The Daily Wire, founded by Ben Shapiro.
Finally, they unpack the controversy at this year’s BAFTAs, where Josh Davidson, a man with Tourette’s whose life inspired a nominated film, shouted a racial slur while Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage presenting an award.
