Nathaniel Brown, chief communications officer at Warner Bros. Discovery, is leaving the Hollywood studio after five years in the post.
Brown in an internal memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter said he “especially loved being in the trenches” after joining Discovery Inc. in 2019 ahead of a merger with Warner Media to create Warner Bros. Discovery.
Brown in 2022 was tapped to lead corporate communications for Discovery Inc., before it merged with WarnerMedia. Before joining Discovery, Brown was senior vp of corporate affairs at 21st Century Fox and News Corp.
Brown will now take some time off for travel and with his family before returning to the fray. “Eventually, I will dive back into this profession I love, one that has continued to teach me new things and put me in the orbit of fantastic and fascinating people and interesting challenges,” he added.

Following the 2020 death of rapper Stepa J. Groggs, the surviving members of Injury Reserve are officially ushering in a new era. Today, Ritchie With a T and Parker Corey have unveiled a double music video that is both their final release as Injury Reserve, and their debut single under the new moniker By Storm.
The new video features a visual for “Bye Storm,” the final track off Injury Reserve’s 2021 album By The Time I Get to Phoenix. Directed by Corey, it’s a compilation of low-definition DIY footage that seems to predate Groggs’ passing. The clip then seamlessly transitions into “Double Trio,” an energetic, woozy track that acts as a powerful (re-)introduction to By Storm.
“To respect the specificity of all three of us as Injury Reserve, we have decided not to make new music under this name,” reads a press release. “Nathaniel and Parker have continued working...

Back in April, Nathaniel wrote about Sigourney Weaver, arguing that her legendary career more than deserves Oscar gold. Maybe it's time for the Academy to give her an Honorary award since they don't seem especially keen on recognizing her recent output. Regardless, you can't argue that Weaver has significantly faltered in her craft, for the thespian's excellence is as apparent today as it was in her 1980s heyday. Indeed, both that article and its comment section were full of recommendations for those eager to explore the star's filmography. Inspired by them and the release of Paul Schrader's Master Gardener in theaters, I decided to do just that, enjoying a SigWeavie marathon that doubled as research for this actress-y top ten.
Continuing the tradition established with the Nicolas Cage top ten, I shall exclude Weaver's Oscar-anointed work because there's plenty written about them already. In each case,...

Tessa Thompson and Jodie Turner-Smith continued to bring the Drama (all caps intended) and rising star Taylor Russell joined them in boldness. Meanwhile Maude Apatow went classic, Chloe Sevigny went short, Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education) was doing a polka dot theme all day including this gown. And last but not least, Timothée Chalamet and Cate Blanchett knew exactly what to wear to keep people talking. So which was your favourite?...
