00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 10: these roads are really slick. Have the umbrella, have the

158
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 10: rain jacket, make sure you're taking it really slow. Temperature

159
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 10: is also really cool, sixty one degrees for you out

160
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 10: of Lax to start off your Friday now. Due to

161
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 10: all this what weather we've been seeing this morning, we're

162
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 10: talking about rain rates up to about an inch an hour.

163
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 10: That is extremely high, especially for some of these zones

164
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 10: of Ventura and then Ounta into Malibud. This does include

165
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 10: our Pacific Palisades or excuse me, I should say our

166
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 10: Palisades Burnscar. You are under a floodwatch for the rest

167
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 10: of the day, so a debris flow, mudslide's all going

168
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 10: to be possible. Just make sure you're being really cautious

169
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 10: out there. Rocksides will also be a big concern. And

170
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 10: like we've been talking about our Burnscar areas as well,

171
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 10: those are the areas where we're going to be keeping

172
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 10: the closest side all right. Timing out the storm system,

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 10: we've already started to see some of these more moderate

174
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 10: to strong pockets popping out. That is really going to

175
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 10: settle in to Los Angeles, a southern la as we

176
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 10: get into about mid morning, so nine am, so you'll

177
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 10: notice western portions of Los Angeles Ventura getting a bit

178
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 10: of a break. Then it starts to push into the

179
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 10: ie by the time we get into noon. So if

180
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 10: you have plans to be out and about today, maybe

181
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 10: to do something around lunchtime, just keep in mind you're

182
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 10: still dealing with really soggy conditions. Stronger pockets also popping up.

183
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 10: Like I mentioned for the Inland Empire, higher elevations seeing

184
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 10: some snow too. These snow levels going to drop to

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 10: about six thousand feet today. It won't be very much,

186
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 10: but a little bit of adjusting. As we head to

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 10: this afternoon, the storm is going to weaken a tad.

188
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 10: There will still be quite a bit of moisture, but

189
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 10: not as strong as what we're seeing this morning. And

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 10: then as we endo this evening, it tapers off. Look

191
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 10: at this much needed western portions of La and Adventure

192
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 10: getting some dry skies and then still seeing some really light,

193
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 10: patchy showers as we had inch your Saturday. So totals

194
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 10: for this next round of wet weather, we're looking about

195
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 10: an inch to two inches for parts of La Orange County.

196
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 10: The exception is going to be our foothill communities. You

197
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 10: could see a little bit more showers tapering off as

198
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 10: we head to your Sunday. I do want to mention

199
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 10: two more things on the way. We were talking about

200
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 10: Santa Ana winds Monday into Tuesday. Looking like we will

201
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 10: see some wind advisories with this next event, and then

202
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 10: another round of wet weather New Year's even to New

203
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 10: Year's Day. Right now not looking like it's going to

204
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 10: be nearly as strong as what we're dealing with right now,

205
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 10: But keep in mind where you're making plans for the

206
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 10: new year, there most likely will be some rain in

207
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 10: the mix, all right, valleys Inland Empire, half an inch

208

Speaker 11: it from both sides. For Warner Brothers, this is a

310
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 11: great cash deal, you know, this is a good way

311
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 11: for them to exit the Warner Brothers Discovery merger. And

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 11: we don't know yet whether or not David's as Love

313
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 11: will remain on with Netflix, but it is bringing you know,

314
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 11: their studio side and their streaming content to the biggest

315
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 11: streaming player around. So that's a benefit for them. For Netflix,

316
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 11: I think it's a little more clear cut what the

317
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 11: benefits are. It's giving them a studio which they didn't

318
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 11: have before. It's giving them kind of prestige streaming shows

319
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 11: with with Max and all of the shows that are

320
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 11: on there, and with the studio, you know, then they

321
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 11: can bring those movies onto their streaming side at seemingly

322
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 11: whatever rate they would want to. So that's the big

323
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 11: benefit for them.

324
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: So how would you say this is going to reshape

325
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: the competitive landscape between streamers and traditional studios.

326
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 11: I think the fear is that this merger is going

327
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 11: to see a greater consolidation in the industry in terms of,

328
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 11: you know, what movies are getting made and into in

329
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 11: terms of who's buying and who's selling. One of the

330
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 11: interesting things as part of this is that Netflix has

331
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 11: been the biggest buyer films and TV shows from outside studios,

332
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 11: and Warner Brothers had been one of the biggest sellers.

333
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 11: So with them working together, I think the fear is

334
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 11: that it won't be as easy to get TV shows

335
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 11: or films and movies sold, and it's just taking a

336
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 11: studio system out of the industry, or at least merging

337
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 11: them into one, which is always a concern for the

338
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 11: creative industry.

339
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought up the creative side of things,

340
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: because I think a lot of the concern or pushback

341
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 3: about this merger is coming from the creative side. How

342
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: would you say that this merger could affect the content

343
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: strategy and creativity.

344
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 11: I think there'll be a difficult player to compete against

345
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 11: if this merger goes through, having Warner Brothers and Netflix combined.

346
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 11: You know, you have a really strong studio system, you

347
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 11: have some of the top streaming shows, and you have

348
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 11: one of the top streamers out there with Netflix.

349
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: And what are you hearing from creators about this merger?

350
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: Are they in support of it?

351
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 11: I think it's still so early on in the process

352
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 11: that people are still trying to figure out how they

353
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 11: feel about this. And one thing to be sure, you know,

354
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 11: the deal with Netflix isn't a done deal by any

355
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 11: means at this point. They still have several months of

356
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 11: regulatory approval and processes to go through, and then there's

357
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 11: also the competing bid from Paramount, So we'll see whether,

358
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 11: you know, Paramount steps in and ups their offer. But

359
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 11: I'd say that the initial reactions have just been concerned

360
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 11: at even more consolidation in an industry that's already, you know,

361
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 11: feels so squeezed.

362
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting the other day that we

363
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 3: saw that David Zaslov gave Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters

364
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 3: a tour of the Warner Brothers lot. I don't know

365
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 3: if that was aimed to be just a strong showing

366
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: of support, but did you happen to see that photo

367
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: and that tour?

368
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, I definitely think it was a strong showing being

369
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 11: the keyword. I think it was meant to convey to

370
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 11: the public and you know, perhaps to Paramount, that is,

371
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 11: this is the deal that they want to happen, this

372
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 11: is the merger they want to go through, and they're

373
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 11: so sure about it that they're already talking you know,

374
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 11: who knows what they're talking about, but it seems like

375
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 11: they're already talking about how to combine the two operations.

376
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 11: But yeah, I think that that was mostly to send

377
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 11: a message to the public into Paramount.

378
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: It definitely seemed that way. Who ultimately do you think

379
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: will be affected by a merger of this side.

380
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 11: It is very early on, so we wouldn't begin to see,

381
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 11: you know, what might happen for several months now. But

382
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 11: I think, you know, the big concern is about job loss,

383
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 11: both with the merger of the two companies and for

384
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 11: the consumer, I think the concern is whether or not

385
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 11: streaming prices would go up with the combination of HBO

386
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 11: Max and with Netflix.

387
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: And what about the other big players in town, Disney, Apple, Amazon,

388
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: What is going to happen to them if this merger

389
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 3: goes through. Are they worried?

390
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 11: I mean, it definitely has an effect on Yeah, on

391
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 11: both their streaming and their studio side, because then you

392
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 11: get kind of a mega conglomerate with them, with Netflix

393
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 11: and with Warner Brothers Discovery, and that's a hard, a

394
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 11: hard merger to compete with.

395
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: Well, I know, as you've said, we have quite a

396
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: long way to go before all of this is a

397
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 3: done deal. A lot of hurdles to pass here, and

398
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: we will certainly be watching closely. Caitlin Houston, business writer

399
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: with the Hollywood Reporter. Thank you so much, Kaitlin, no problem,

401
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

402
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: hour newsroom. We're keeping a close eye on that storm

403
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: that's moving through Sokel right now. Evacuation warnings remain in

404
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: effect for Burnscar areas in the Pacific Palisades, Sunset and Hurst,

405
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: while evacuation orders for the Riverwood neighborhood due to water

406
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: release from the Tahunga Dam can continue there. A floodwatch

407
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,840

00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: firefighters have handled three river rescues. Police have responded to

409
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: more than three hundred and fifty traffic accidents. There are

410
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,080

414
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: of up to forty five to fifty miles per hour

415
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: are expected, and that is strong enough to knock over

416
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: tree limbs and knock out power. The winds could also

417
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 3: make driving difficult, and that advisory will be in effect

418
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,280

446
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. An Orange County

Speaker 3: A sixteen year old girl was killed in a long

451
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 3: beach crash involving teens. Police say speed and distraction may

452
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 3: have played a role. Evacuation warnings remain in effect near

453
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: Palisades Burn Areas. City officials say the warnings will stay

454

455
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: we're taking your talkbacks this morning. What did you get

456
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: for Christmas? I went here? Did you have a favorite gift,

457
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: a least favorite gift? Let me know what you want

458
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: to share. Heavy rain means a higher risk of hydroplaning

459
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: and it can happen in second Safety experts say slow

460
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: down on wet roads of a void, cruise control, and

461
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: steer clear of standing water. If your car starts to hydroplane,

462
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: don't panic, ease off the gas, hold the wheel steady

463
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,680

Speaker 3: audiences find them. Joining us now is Patrick Calligary, a

503

Speaker 3: longtime executive producer turned media analyst, to break down the

504
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 3: biggest trends shaping Hollywood right now and what the future

505
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: could hold for showbiz. Patrick, I followed you for a

506
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: long time on social media and really enjoyed your insights

507
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 3: and takes on what's happening in the business. I would

508
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: love to know what's the biggest trend you see happening

509
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: right now.

510
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 5: Don't have a crystal ball.

511
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: I can look at the situation that we're in and

512
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: the situation of the past, and history does tend.

513
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 5: To repeat itself if you're looking closely enough. And I

514
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 5: kind of go back.

515
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: To the age when television started, and I think the

516
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: big thing that we need to understand is that media evolves,

517
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: it changes forms.

518
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: And we've seen, like we've seen radio.

519
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: Decimated by television, and we're really kind of seeing sort

520
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: of where streaming came in and upended the game and

521
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: blew up a revenue model that had worked perfectly fine for.

522
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 5: Over fifty years.

523
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: We're now sort of seeing this like move from film

524
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: and TV to Internet, and that is really becoming our

525
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: sort of new medium where we gain our information from.

526
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: And it's sort of the wild West right now because

527
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: almost anybody can join into it. And I've had a

528
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: lot of discussions with economists, and one economist I think

529
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: really kind of described the situation the best, which is

530
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the studios are acting like

531
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: the auto manufacturers, the US auto manufacturers of the seventies,

532
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 2: whereas like everybody wants to buy a Cadillac, only Detroit

533
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: knows how to make it the best, and that's what

534
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: our consumers want. Really, we're really kind of talking about

535
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: vertical shorts. We're talking about YouTube content creation, the creator

536
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 2: economy me is sort of this new thing that is

537
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: coming whether we want it or not, and if we

538
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: either adapt to it or it's going to steamroll the

539
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: old model. And we're even seeing it right now where

540
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: even Netflix is now saying okay, podcasts, you can come

541
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: on Netflix, or they're making deals with Barstool Sports, and

542
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: I think that just goes to show that it's no

543
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: longer just film and TV, where we can no longer

544
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: compartmentalize our media, and it's saying a movie is a movie,

545
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: a TV show is a TV show, and social media

546
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: and social media, our media is all kind of blending

547
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: into one.

548
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: And really it's.

549
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: Going to be a tension that is going to be

550
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: the future commodity of the future value of where both

551
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: consumers and advertisers are going to be looking.

552
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm starting to see more vertical short films and

553
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: projects coming up in my feed on social media, and

554
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: it seems to be that there's more and more of

555
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: those types of projects made do you think we're going

556
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: to see a shift to more binge able, short form

557
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: types of content, and if so, are we sacrificing creativity

558
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: in the process.

559
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: Really, in the end, it's the audience that is going

560
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: to determine what type of entertainment they want for the youth.

561
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: That is one of the biggest things I think our

562
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: industry really kind of lost. Is the biggest disconnect that

563
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: happened where I think Heather, you and I are about

564
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: the same age.

565
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: So we grew up with never ending stories.

566
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: We grew up with fraggle Rocks, we grew up with

567
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: John Hughes movies, all of it. But all of that,

568
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: and that I think is really what made movies and

569
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: television shows Wonder Years, Fresh, Friends of bel Air, Full House.

570
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: I could rattle these off, but if you ask a

571
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: gen Zer what are your favorite TV shows? They would

572
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: not be able to have that kind of emotional connection.

573
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: Now we're both parents and we have Jen Alpha kids.

574
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that it's going to be Jen Alpha

575
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: or gen Z that's sort of driving the content in

576
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: the future. Because my daughter doesn't have a favorite actor necessarily,

577
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: but she has favorite YouTubers.

578
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 5: Well, even celebrity has taken such a hit. It's not

579
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 5: what it used to see anymore.

580
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: The listers that used to pack theaters can't pack them

581
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: like they used to just having a name on a show.

582
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: But to your point, yeah, the new celebrities are influencers

583
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: to a degree.

584
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: I think the industry has democratized itself so you know where.

585
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 5: But if a good show hooks me like a severance,

586
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: I don't have my phone in my hand, you can

587
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 5: still I feel, reach that audience. And again, I think

588
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 5: this is really sort of an era where storytellers, the

589
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 5: best ones, can rise up to the occasion and put

590
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 5: out some of the most amazing content. And really, at

591
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 5: this point it's anyone's game because the ability and the

592
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 5: access that we have to make a good and tell

593
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 5: a good story is right there at our fingertips.

594
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully Hollywood can keep up with the changes that

595
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: are coming. I know we will be watching closely. Producer Patrick,

619

Speaker 16: and provide more resources like quiet rooms for introverts to recharge.

680
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 17: It is technically a Christmas movie, the writer said so himself.

681
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 17: So I thought it was really good. I like the

682
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 17: action in it.

683
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: You did? You didn't think it was a little because

684
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: I was worried it might be a little too bloody.

685
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: And there's you know, like some darker themes in it.

686
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 17: It's cool. I'm I'm I go to public schools.

Speaker 3: I know you do. I know you do.

688
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 17: My personal favorite Christmas movie, it's a little bit controversial,

689
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 17: but Nightmare before Christmas. Now here's the thing. Yeah, it

690
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 17: is a Halloween but also movie. That's why my drama

691
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 17: teacher said so herself. It's allowed for both holidays. Holidays holidays.

692
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think you can watch Nightmare before

693
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: Christmas for both. It sort of begins around, you know,

694
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: late September, early October, and you really can watch it

695

Speaker 3: all the way through the end of December. Really for sure.

696
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: That's a good one. Well, my favorite holiday movie to

698
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,439

00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 3: Ferrell act like this large man child and run all

700
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,480

Speaker 3: is your favorite?

711
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 17: I kind of prefer the first one more.

712
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first one, it's a little more original. The

713
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: second one is literally a carbon copy of it. It's

714
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 3: just in New York we seem to be seeing a

715

Speaker 3: lot of movies lately that are doing that with the sequels,

716
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: Like we just watched Avatar, Fire and Ash, which we

717
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: all sort of agreed was a carbon copy of the

718
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: second one, The Way of Water. Yeah, yeah, almost beat

719
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: for beat. There's also some other movies out right now

720
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,320

728
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 3: about you guys, though, I think I'm really just looking

729
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: forward to sitting on the couch, maybe making my own popcorn,

730
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: saving a little money. Yeah, for sure, Because I go

731
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: to the movies so often.

732
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 17: Did someone say a popcorn?

733
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: I knew that would get your attention. I do too.

734
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 18: I feel nice about sitting in your living room with

735
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 18: a decorated tree. Maybe the lights are a little dim.

736
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 18: It feels very Christmas to me, very homey, very comfortable.

737
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 18: That's one of my favorite parts of the season is

738
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 18: a the time off. Yeah, and be just the sitting

739
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,799

00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 3: The cinnamon rolls. That's right. We love the cinnamon rolls well,

741
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: the snacks and the movies and just the general feel

742
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 3: of the holidays around the house are really special, and

743
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: I'm kind of I'm always a little sad when January

744
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: comes because we have to put the decorations away and

745
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: then we know there's no more like Christmas feeling for

746
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: another eleven months or so. But we certainly made the

747
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 3: best of this year. And I know I've been working

748
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: a lot over the holidays and it's been a very

749
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,399

792
