The Ankler

Hollywood, reported from inside the group chat.

Newsletter Entertainment Weekly Updated Sep 2026

About

The Ankler covers Hollywood the way an insider explains it over drinks: names, grudges, and context most outlets leave out. Founded by former entertainment journalist Richard Rushfield, it built a reputation for reporting the industry's internal politics as candidly as its box office results.

Regular columns dig into studio strategy, streaming economics, and the agents and executives steering it all, often with a sharper edge than traditional trade coverage allows. Readers who already know the players tend to like it best, since it skips the version of the story built for a press release.
