It's Wednesday, December 10th, 2025. On today's episode of the show, we're going to be talking about five nights at |
| 0:37.6 | Freddy's 2. We'll follow up on our last frontier conversation from earlier this year and present |
| 0:42.3 | an interview with that show's showrunner. We'll touch on the new spoof comedy, Fackham Hall, |

| 1:46.4 | Brothers, including its film and television studios, HBO Max, and HBO. So this is a little |
| 1:51.7 | different than what Paramount was offering and what they wanted. They wanted to buy the entire |
| 1:56.5 | Warner Brothers Discovery Company, which includes some linear TV networks and some cable channels |
