Hey, everybody.

Hey, everybody. Hope you're all enjoying your vacations, your All Star Breaks. We never rest here at Nick's Film School. And so it is my pleasure to welcome you all to another edition. It's been a while, but another edition of the next film school X's and O's live stream show,

joined, of course, by the great detail junkie himself, the doctor of jump shots, the defender

of Julius, the great DJ Zulo. Hey, DJ. What's up, my friend? I feel like we've been talking

so often this year, but we haven't done many of these. Hey, DJ. What's up, my friend? I feel like we've been talking so often this year, but we haven't done many of these.

This is a few and far between, but it's always nice to sort of get on these live shows with

you.

But how have you been?

You know, with the break, did you get a chance to get away, to decompress?

Yes, I pulled off.

It appears that everyone at Nick's Film School vacations in Florida, which I think is a great option.

So I just got back.

It was lovely.

The weather was legitimately 80 degrees and sunny every single day.

It was a miracle of weather.

And then I came back and it's absolutely freezing. And that's rough a little bit. But one thing

that'll warm our hearts collectively is a return to New York Knicks basketball. And I'm excited

to get the season rolling again. And from the outside,

let me just ask you before we get to any of the chats

and thank you all for submitting your questions

and being here and joining us in general.

We're so happy to have you all here.
