| 0:00.0 | So in a shocking turn of events, apparently no one wanted to see angry Lord Farquod Snow White, |
| 0:05.9 | but everyone wanted to see Jack Black scream about chicken jockey and Minecraft. |
| 0:10.6 | And that, plus the success of Mike White's White Lotus, tells us everything we need to know about the state of modern Hollywood. |
| 0:19.2 | So it has been a big few weeks in Hollywood. I feel like we are finally ramped up into 2025. |
| 0:23.6 | Everything is coming out. The movies are hitting the theaters. We had the much anticipated or feared, |
| 0:28.6 | I don't even know the right word to use for that, but Snow White came out. We had been talking |
| 0:32.6 | about it for years at this point. People didn't really want it, but they wanted to know what would happen with it. |

| 1:15.3 | description below if you want to buy tickets for my upcoming tour this spring. I'm so excited |
| 1:19.2 | to hit the road and see all of your beautiful faces. So apparently, guys, I have been living under |
| 1:23.6 | a rock because I had no idea that the most anticipated movie of 2025 was coming out last week, |
| 1:29.3 | and that was not Snow White, even though Snow White was anticipated for all the wrong reasons. |
| 1:34.3 | A Minecraft movie was the most anticipated film for all of the right reasons. |
