This week on The Comic Section Podcast, we open the show by paying our respects to legendary director and actor Rob Reiner and character actor Peter Greene, honoring their lasting impact on film and television.
In our Breaking News/Headlines segment, Hollywood as we know it faces massive shifts. The Academy Awards are officially moving to YouTube beginning in 2029, marking a historic change as the Oscars will stream free worldwide once ABC’s long-running deal expires. We break down what this means for the future of live events, television, and streaming.
We also dive into a copyright lawsuit against Disney and James Cameron, as a 3D animator claims Avatar: The Way of Water borrowed elements from his sci-fi story. Is this a serious threat to one of cinema’s biggest franchises, or another Hollywood legal showdown?
Plus, the streaming wars escalate as Warner Bros. Discovery officially rejects Paramount’s $30-per-share acquisition offer, doubling down on its Netflix deal and igniting debate over the future of the entertainment industry.
And in a surprising tech move, Instagram launches a TV app, bringing Reels to the big screen—changing how short-form content is consumed at home.
