After a few months in the lab with a pen & a pad, @HiBarrMedia’s MEDIA MOGULS ... IS BACK!
and this season is very different from our Ted Turner Saga.
Everyone knows the names Walt Disney, Rupert Murdoch, and Ted Turner.
But Steve Ross?
He might be the most fascinating media mogul you’ve probably never heard of.
The new season of MEDIA MOGULS is all about the incredible story of how Ross went from working at his in-laws’ funeral home business to owning Warner Bros. in less than 15 years...despite having no experience in entertainment.
And that's just the beginning.
Over the next 2 decades, he’d build one of the greatest entertainment empires in history.

A24 getting Chris Rock’s MISTY GREEN (stacked cast) out of theaters fast and onto Netflix already is why they’re kicking everyone’s ass rn.
Watch it go gangbusters on the service

Same night Axl got into a legendary (hilarious) fight with Kurt over remarks about Courtney Love.
Then Nirvana put MTV execs into a collective panic before they played Lithium.
And we got all of these performances…
The 1992 VMAs rocked

Ted Turner won America’s Cup, coached a game for the Braves & got himself suspended as MLB owner……
ALL IN THE SAME YEAR that he put the satellite into space to take the Superstation TBS national!
this stuff is so tiresome. jp morgan lead new york city yacht club to two successive cup victories, rockefeller raced trotters through central park, ellison made sailboats fly
you all are falling victim to the pastiche of martyrdom without any of the glory. get over yourselves

Michael Mann is a genius. If you look at his notes to his sound mix and edit team, it is amazing. He does not speak in technical terms at all. He speaks purely with regard to emotions & reactions he wants to elicit. And he trusts his technicians to do the needful since they know their medium best.. and they are all artists too.

Hollywood’s always been cyclical.
So when Steve Ross bought Warner Bros. in 1969, the studio was struggling big time as audiences were sick & tired of years of stale Westerns & musicals.
But then came the auteur generation of Coppola, Scorsese, Friedkin, Bogdanovic…even Spielberg & Lucas aka “the new Hollywood.”
Today, after 18 years of superhero dominance, is history repeating itself? We’ll likely find out with #Dunesday this December.

While I've been making the Steve Ross season of @HiBarrMedia's Media Moguls podcast, one thing has really stuck with me & it's not Ross's incredible story of going from his in-laws funeral home business to running Warner Bros.
It's the number of times Warner Bros. has changed hands since 1967!
So I went off-the-cuff in the episode & named it all off the top of my head. Here it is!
