It's the lapsed fan wrestling podcast that knows the boys need their candy.

It's the lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack N Carnassio and J.P. Sorrow.

Yes.

The choice was taken away from us.

Yes.

That's what we decry.

And we decry the fact that we were put into a position to adopt media consumption habits that put a whole lot of people out of work for no good

reason and therefore necessarily diminish the quality and the risk taking that entertainment

producers were willing to take. And again, with the technology working in reverse, influencing

how the art is created, to some degree it makes a lot of sense, but there are tradeoffs that

didn't have to be made.

And this whole subscription thing is just fucking SaaS, software as a service, you know, Microsoft and shit realizing, hey, instead of charging people for software one time, we can charge them every single month.

And over the lifetime of their relationship with us, we'll get a few more months, you know, of money out of them than we would if they had to just pay up front. And then everyone was like, holy shit, this is a way to make more money off people. Let's hook it in. We do it with Patreon. It's the same thing. Patreon is very much like that. We keep that engine humming. We keep feed in the

fucking flame. We keep throwing shit on the fire to be worth the money and we are. But that's what

creates this sort of like whole idea that we're not really making movies to sell the movie on

its own merits. We're making movies to keep Netflix interesting for just one more month.

And then it's something else. And then it's something else. And then it's something else. And

everyone's Netflix, as far as all the projects they approve and all of the kind of schlocky ways that their in-house stuff is sort of, you know,

pulling from all these random pop culture

sources to try to make one fucking 90-minute movie relevant to as many people as possible.

To the point we don't even know what you're watching sometimes.

It's just this assault on the census.
