but I fear Mango Mussolini will try to block the merger out of sheer spite.

I watched a really interesting series this week on Netflix called "Titans: The Rise of Hollywood" that went into the history of all the major studios. It seemed really timely with this WBD deal in the headlines.

I didn't know that Mary Pickford was so involved in the business end of United Artists on top of being their star player. Recommended for anyone interested in that sort of thing.
