WE'RE SO BACK! Looney Tunes hasn't always had the best track record, but for once, things are looking up! Just don't look down. Wile E. Coyote is set to headline his feature length film alongside Will Forte, Lana Condor and John Cene and thanks to Ketchup Ent. it has been rescued from the WB archive! A year ago, WB set the film for a Tax Write-Off and washed their hands of it unless someone were to come along and purchase it from them for a large amount of money! We can thankfully report that Ketchup Ent. did just that and the film has an August 28th, 2026 release date! Listen in as we express our joy of that initial news, celebrate the legacy of Val Kilmer (who is ironically back in the news due to Ai) and talk about The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie which is streaming on Max and available on Amazon!
