Brad Dourif in particular should be fucking PISSED about this.
Dude’s worked for decades on the Chucky series, which is one of the most openly queer horror franchises around.
I had heard rumours of this being in production a while back, and that Ben Shapiro's name was specifically kept hidden on the script. I wonder when some of these people found out who they're working for.

This is more common than you’d sadly think.
In the anime voice acting sphere, there is a series of animated films made by an actual cult known as Happy Science.
A lot of household name actors have voiced in these; I doubt many of them knew that when they recorded. Sometimes it’s just a paycheck.
NEW: The judge overseeing the Paramount-WBD antitrust litigation has canceled Thursday’s hearing on Paramount’s bond request but scheduled a new one to address outstanding questions about the proposed consent decree. She has not yet approved the settlement.
Short but important thread that anyone still in panic mode should probably read.
TL;DR: Northern California judge still has to approve this. And if nothing else, Paramount and WB will at least operate separately for 5 years. (plenty of time for things to fall apart)
www.npr.org/2026/09/21/n...@npr.org with the facts on PSKY's settlement with attorney generals. Ellison is hoping to close the deal in about two weeks, but there's more to the story.
Impeachment doesn’t happen because we hope Congress eventually finds the courage. It happens when enough of us demand accountability and elect representatives willing to act.
Don’t sit this one out. Make impeachment an issue your representatives and candidates cannot ignore.

Saw this going around and not many people talking about it here so wanted to warn people about this new problem getting people banned on discord and have confirmed its real.

I don't think some art drama BS is nearly as Bad as the Anti woke creators pedigree of stuff ranging from "Beating up their wives" to "Admiting they sell drugs to underage ppl" (Nerdrotic)
It is frustrating how frequently anti anti-woke creators turn out to be worse than the anti-woke creators. Just when I thought there was a good one nope. Happy bucking autism acceptance month. An autistic creator is outed as being a bad person.
Even from a neutral point of view, Paramount’s acquisition of Warner would still be a bad business decision because Paramount could end up with a big debt.
Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer.
Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount.

@netflix.com I have a I have a feeling that there's 100 million people WORLDWIDE that might throw a dollar or two towards you upping the bid Against Paramount!
It's imperative that we keep them from becoming a right wing monopoly!
This is an update I've received from ArcSys reps. While it is disappointing it happened to begin with, I can only hope that we can raise enough volume to have the GenAI removed.
Arc System Works announces alien interrogation adventure game Donutal for PC
Arc System Works has announced Donutal, an alien interrogation adventure game where "conversation" is your only weapon. It will launch for PC via Steam in 2026. A demo is available now.
Josh D’Amaro says AI will NOT replace human creativity while he is Disney CEO:
“The reason this company is so special is because of how creative we are, and the human beings that are generating that creativity. In my mind, that never gets replaced.”
Reminder that she is or was close friends with Hayao Miyazaki, and some of Studio Ghibli's English dubs were produced by her
Miyazaki is one of the biggest icons of the anti-AI movement
If I were Miyazaki right now and seeing a friend in the industry do this, it would feel like a fucking betrayal
Kathleen Kennedy wants to use AI to produce new films after departing Lucasfilm:
“I am interested in exploring using those tools in responsible ways … [and] trying to figure out what we’re going to do in terms of protecting artists’ rights.”
(via deadline.com/2026/01/kath...)
Using generative AI tells your customers that you are cheap; both financially, and in matters of taste.
The fact that you in the C-suite think the slop looks good is exactly the reason you're supposed to pay people with TASTE: to make sure you don't embarrass yourself.
Meta has shut down three studios, with all employees laid off:
Armature Studio (Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, ReCore)
Sanzaru Games (Sly Cooper 4, Asgard's Wrath)
Twisted Pixel ('Splosion Man, Deadpool VR).
Awful, awful news. Much love to those impacted. ❤️

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use.
So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/
@marzgurl.com Have you seen that there's an asshole IMDB mod mass deleting English voice actors from anime listings because he doesn't believe they should be classed as "cast" but instead "voice actor - dubbing"? He's wrecked hundreds of resumés with his purge & he's not adding them back "corrected"
