Crash Zoom: Turner Classic Movies and Laika Studios
Welcome to Crash Zoom, a podcast where we take a deep dive into film and entertainment industry news! Each week, join Rough Draft Atlanta Associate Editor Sammie Purcell and indie filmmaker Aaron Strand as they explore how things happening at the highest level trickle down and affect the independent artist. Moving forward, we’ll be switching up our format. Each week, we’ll be releasing two shorter episodes, one on Wednesday and one on Friday. Instead of covering multiple different news items, we’ll be diving deep on two stories. This week’s Wednesday episode takes a look at the relationship between Warner Bros. Discovery and Turner Classic Movies. This week’s Friday episode dives into the history of Laika Studios. Links in this episode: Did David Zaslav save TCM? (IndieWire) Layoffs at TCM in 2023 (NPR) Laika’s second act (IndieWire) You can check out Sammie’s work on Rough Draft Atlanta and subscribe to her weekly newsletter Scene here.
