This week on PREVIOUSLY ON…, Jason and Rosie discuss the action-packed teaser trailer for season 3 of HBO's House of the Dragon and the full trailer for Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 5 which features an aging Woody with a shiny new bald spot helping the other toys rally again an evil tablet. Next they highlight the trailer for Witch Hat Atelier, an anime adaptation of the wildly popular magic and sorcery-based manga of the same name, which is set to premiere on Crunchyroll on April 26th. Then they dive into the story that the viral AI-generated fight scene featuring Brad Pitt & Tom Cruise that sent Hollywood creatives into a tizzy was actually just a reskinned fight choreography sequence between two stuntmen. Finally, they close with an update on the pending sale of Warner Bros with a new Variety article stating that many WBD staffers have started to favor Netflix as a buyer over Paramount due to David Ellison's ties to the Trump administration and recent leadership changes at CBS.
