We live in a very strange time.

Yes.

Obviously, there's, you know, political stuff which we want to talk about because this is not a political podcast.

But the film industry is, the film and television industry, like it's in a weird and maybe some

would say bad place. Yeah. Well, I think you can only say bad place, right? I don't think there's

a way to say, actually, this part of it is good.

I mean, every now and then, like, a hit breaks through and people are like, maybe this is the

hope, you know. And it's, it's strange because I don't think there is, and yes, I understand

because we have the internet and, like and YouTube and blah blah, blah,

short form content.

People feel like that's a huge disruption.

Then there's the streaming services, Netflix in particular, that, you know, are disrupting

the standard models as well.

But I still think there people love seeing movies and people love watching television.

I don't think the appetite has waned for that, but like capitalism collapsing in on itself has like finally like overtaken

the film industry. Absolutely. And finally. No, I mean like, you know, it's going to do it for

every industry. And I think the film industry was one of the last holdouts because it was a little bit, like, it was a little bit protected in the sense that it was like a thing that everybody wanted.

And like, even though it was always about making money, there was so many people gravitated toward it because of what they loved, you know?

And because of that, I feel like it took a while before mega corporations finally

were able to start gobbling up studios.

But that is happening.

Yes.
