John Oliver has hit out against his network employer HBO during an episode of Last Week Tonight broadcast on that very channel.
These removals are a result of Warner Bros Discovery’s plan to combine HBO Max and Discovery+ into one service.
The comedian and presenter used a segment of his weekly programme to make reference to the dozens of TV shows and films that have been taken from the streaming platform HBO Max in recent weeks.
One of the biggest cuts was the Batgirl film, which has been shelved indefinitely despite its completion and a $90m spend.
