The lines between Looney Tunes and real life get blurred in this latest animated action-comedy, featuring the world’s biggest glutton for punishment…Wile E. Coyote!
You know the story (mostly): It seems that every time desert denizen Wile E. Coyote uses a product made by the notorious Acme Corporation to put an end to his road-running nemesis, it backfires on him. That may change, however. One day, whist cooking up a scheme, our (unfortunate) hero sees a commercial advertising the services of washed-up human billboard attorney Kevin Avery (played by SNL alum Will Forte). Coyote decides the day has come to what what we in the USA do best…litigate! Wile hires Avery to represent him in a lawsuit against Acme, and the two strike up a friendship that gets the ball rolling to potentially win the case. However, they might get more than they bargained for — Acme, as it turns, out is represented by high-powered attorney ZBuddy Crane (John Cena), Avery’s former boss and a formidable foe in the arena of justice!

Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee star in a new film written by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch which offers a modern take on the classic satirical novella by 19th century Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler!
Ed Saxberger (Dafoe) plays a poet who has chased fame unsuccessfully for decades, and who has found a second life as a postal worker. When a young admirer appears on his doorstep out of the blue, Saxberger is suddenly thrust into a milieu of newfound attention in his work by a group of young writers and artists, and he gets a fresh burst of inspiration to once again flex his creative muscles. It is not long, however, before this renewed attention begins to go to Saxberger’s head — especially the attention lavished upon his by an alluring actress named Gloria (Lee). As a consequence, Saxberger must begin to reckon with the genuineness of the new poetic circle he has suddenly found himself a part of.

About the film
Three years after the death of Hugo Chávez and the presidential election of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela was in economic freefall and consumed by hunger. In 2016, President Maduro’s government responded with the CLAP program: a domestic aid initiative that was billed as providing high-quality, essential food items to Venezuelans impacted by the nation’s economic crisis — some of whom were at risk of
starvation.
This FRONTLINE documentary A Dangerous Assignment: Uncovering Corruption in Maduro’s Venezuela shows that, in fact, the CLAP program was not all that the government claimed it to be. Made in collaboration with the independent Venezuelan news site Armando.info, the documentary features groundbreaking reporting from investigative journalist Roberto Deniz and his colleagues. They revealed that the government was purchasing low-quality products for the CLAP program. The Armando.info journalists’ reporting ended up helping expose a vast corruption scandal that had benefited Maduro and other officials, spanning from Venezuela to Europe to the U.S. — and it ultimately made the journalists targets of the Maduro government.
A Dangerous Assignment: Uncovering Corruption in Maduro’s Venezuela was a finalist for the News & Documentary Emmy Award.
