This week on “TheWrap-Up,” hosts Sharon Waxman and Daniel Goldblatt discussed the renewed controversy surrounding Martin Bashir’s 1995 interview with Princess Diana, Chris Cuomo advising his brother during Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandal and a preview of TheWrap’s upcoming series, Conversations on Cancel Culture.
Then, we’re joined by Jeremy Helligar and NPR’s TV critic Eric Deggans to discuss Barry Jenkins’ new Amazon series, “The Underground Railroad.” Is the series too violent? And is it suitable for children?
Finally, AT&T’s decision to spinoff Warner Media and combine with Discovery was a major move with major ramifications for the industry. TheWrap’s Tim Baysinger and Sean Burch join the podcast to help us make sense of it all.

It appeared to be a moment of triumph in the long, tumultuous story of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.
In November, a federal judge sided with the HFPA the tiny, 87-member group of international journalists that doles out the annual Golden Globe Awards in dismissing a potentially damaging antitrust lawsuit.
The suit was filed three months earlier by a Norwegian entertainment journalist who had been denied membership in the group. It had drawn widespread attention in Hollywood, where the HFPA wields outsize power as the arbiter of one of the entertainment industry’s most important if often mocked awards. And to the HFPA, it represented a direct threat to that power.
