Hey, if you enjoy the show but have yet to sign up for Bulwark+, you can do so for zero dollars right now. Two weeks free, you can listen to all the old episodes you missed, then cancel if you feel like it’s not worth it to stick around. I mean, I would rather you didn’t do that because it is worth it—in addition to ATMA bonus episodes, you also get access to Sarah’s pod The Focus Group, and without The Focus Group you won’t have any idea what’s happening in the midterms next month—but I also understand. Just appreciate you giving it a shot!

Two Weeks Free!

On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason), bid farewell to Nikki Finke, the notoriously nasty maven of Hollywood gossip who revolutionized the trade magazine business at Deadline Hollywood Daily. Then they review Amsterdam, David O. Russell’s big-budget, star-heavy flop. What went wrong with this farce about fascism? Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ for our bonus episode on Friday, when we’re going to talk about the further entanglement of Disney and fantasy gambling site DraftKings. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!
