| 0:00.0 | Well, it was all about week two for Mandalorian and Grogo. |
| 0:06.1 | We said, let's see how it does on week two. |
| 0:08.9 | Because that's going to see whether or not they wind up making any money back. |
| 0:11.6 | The answer is not only did it have a poor week two, it didn't even come in number two. |
| 0:17.9 | It turns out to be a number two because you got the first two movies are basically |
| 0:26.1 | small budget films that are crushing. The industry is changing dramatically and Star Wars is |
| 0:33.6 | suffering for it combined with piss poor storytelling and other things. |
| 0:40.0 | So we'll discuss that and more on today's show. |
| 0:44.0 | We're going to talk about Disclosure Day. |
| 0:48.0 | We're going to talk about some. |
| 0:49.9 | There's a lot. |
| 0:50.9 | I mean, I don't even know the other stories. |
| 0:53.3 | We're going to be talking about this for a while. Roke and I are going back and forth in this last night. I think we're saying the same thing. He's like, I disagree with you. I'm saying the same thing. I agree exactly what you're saying. What the fucking time? So we'll discuss that and more today on the show. So let's get into it. It's Krishonff show here today on Monday. Let's do it. |
| 1:25.3 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to the Christian Holley show here today on this Monday. |
| 1:31.5 | Joining me on the show, the soon-to-be front of the banner of the Shmodown Vault Channel. |
| 1:31.9 | What? |
| 1:33.3 | John, yeah, La Roca. |
| 1:35.3 | Yeah, so I was telling you, we launched the, um, the Shmodown Vault. |
| 1:39.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:40.4 | We launched the first match of the Shmodown Vault today. |
| 1:42.5 | And for people who aren't aware of it, basically what we did is it's that the old channel was getting so, it was just, it was just, it wasn't growing. There was nobody's, you know, the hardcore, hardcore fan base that wanted to maybe go watch an old match or rewatch the seasons or something would still kind of browse around on it. But the channel was pretty much just dead and just sitting there. And I was like, well, what we could do is maybe take that, put, give it a shot with the interview clips and see how they've done over there. Maybe it does well, maybe it doesn't, but it's just, it's, it's just a, a channel that's, you get 200,000 plus subscribers and the algorithm can at least push some stuff. There's no new |
| 2:18.6 | Schmodown content. There's nothing there. So and then the other thing was just so sloppy and there's so many new people that were like, oh man, I would love to watch the Schmodeon, but it's just so intimidating.
