The Union — Hollywood's Finest News Source

theunion.news Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A daily film-industry satire covering studios, sets, festivals, streamers, and the people who always have notes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The homepage is structured as a dated daily edition, with recurring departments such as Studios, On Set, Festivals, Opinion, and From the Cutting Room. Its short pieces use recognizable production constraints as comic machinery: one listed indie-film budget assigns $40,000 to festival submission fees, while another story follows a final cut trapped in its sixth year of notes. The page also routes readers to @theuniondailies on Instagram and explicitly distinguishes the project from The Onion.
