Summary:

Herschel Greenbaum, a struggling Ashkenazi laborer emigrates from his shtetl to America in 1920 with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family. One day, while working at his factory job, he falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years. The brine preserves him perfectly and when he emerges in present-day Brooklyn, he finds that he hasn’t aged a day.

Isn't it bizarre that HBO Max has removed some of their "Original" movies from the service? (The Witches, An American Pickle, Superintelligence)

Isn't it bizarre that HBO Max has removed some of their "Original" movies from the service? (The Witches, An American Pickle, Superintelligence)

I looked for the Witches remake on HBO Max today and it turns out it has been removed from the service. It shocked me because the marketing blitz around the time it came out advertised it as an "HBO MAX ORIGINAL." After looking them up, it also seems that two of the other movies branded as "Originals" (An American Pickle and Superintelligence) have also been removed.

Why would HBO Max do that? No other streaming service removes its own original movies.
