Warner Bender Podcast

Warner Bender Podcast

We talk about WB the same way people talk about Disney. I've been a fan of Warner Brothers ever since the very first time I went to the movie theater at three years old, the movie was Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the moment was when Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse fell through the sky together. Ever since then I thought of Warner and Disney as parallel synergistic entities. Even through the 90s where they had the 2nd generation of Looney Tunes with Spielberg's Tiny Toons Adventures, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, and Histeria and Batman and Superman crossing over all on their own branded channel, The WB Network, high quality Batman films 20 years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Six Flags hosting the Looney Tunes and DC Comics characters and their Warner Brothers Studios Stores, Warner Bros was a force to be reckoned with. About a week after AT&T bought Warner Brothers, I put together a podcast devoted to all things Warner Brothers entitled: The AT&WB Podcast. AT&T sold WB to Discovery who now runs DC Comics, HBO, Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera, Game of Thrones, The Harry Potter Film Universe, and even Mad Max and The Matrix... The IPs go on and on. It's the Warner Bender Podcast, with news about DC Comics and the Greater Warner Brothers Fandom, a term I completely made up! (Formally the AT&WB Podcast)
