Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you? Why why and look
Speaker 1: over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness calling we
Speaker 1: hit the double digits. We officially entered double digit territory.
Speaker 1: One of three double digit episodes. Oh yes, and um,
Speaker 1: that's the thing is I think that it's a huge
Speaker 1: moment in anyone's life when they hit the double digits
Speaker 1: for the first time. Um, and uh, you know this
Speaker 1: this series is sort of doing that, and so it
Speaker 1: should be celebrated in the way I was celebrated when
Speaker 1: I became ten years old, which was my parents got
Speaker 1: me tickets to see maur I Carry at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 1: That was my first concert ever and it came on
Speaker 1: my tent birthday because it was double digits And that's huge.
Speaker 1: Was that not one of didn't you know at the
Speaker 1: time that that would be and was the best day
Speaker 1: of your life? One of the best days. I don't
Speaker 1: think any person has ever had a gayer reaction to
Speaker 1: me opening that was Mariah Carry Madison Square Garden tickets
Speaker 1: and we should say they were absolutely horrendous seats, but
Speaker 1: it didn't matter because it was my first concert ever
Speaker 1: and it was the Heartbreaker tour where I knew the
Speaker 1: whole gig was Mariah was going to be facing off
Speaker 1: with miss Bianca. So this was huge. You know how
Speaker 1: there's like a kingmaker. This was like a queer maker.
Speaker 1: This was like queer making event, queer maker. My parents
Speaker 1: were the queer makers in that moment. They solidified what
Speaker 1: was already sort of chemically brewing and all because double
Speaker 1: digits quote unquote are a big one. We've brought this
Speaker 1: up many times throughout the podcast. But I think very
Speaker 1: fun thoughts when I think of you as a child
Speaker 1: and thinking, oh goodness, what would life have been like
Speaker 1: if we had found each other at that age? Would
Speaker 1: we have been friends? I think we would have. I
Speaker 1: think we definitely would have, because I correct me if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. But you were like an outdoors kid, not
Speaker 1: really know in you weren't like riding bikes, not in
Speaker 1: the way that you're that you would associate with someone
Speaker 1: growing up in Colorado riding bikes. Then you know what
Speaker 1: we would have been video game friends. We would have been,
Speaker 1: But you don't like video games? No. As a kid, oh,
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with video games. My I had the
Speaker 1: classic mother that was like, you know what, you can't
Speaker 1: know video games? That was all she could say to
Speaker 1: me to ruin my life. Very classic mother, you know
Speaker 1: what you punished, You're punished, You're punished. That She would
Speaker 1: always lead out to it by saying, oh, you know
Speaker 1: what you punished? Punished and I just got no, And
Speaker 1: I would say, what is it? What's the punishment? Should
Speaker 1: say you can't do video games? And I go, how
Speaker 1: would she enforce that? She would take the console away.
Speaker 1: I just wasn't allowed to go down there and do that. See,
Speaker 1: this is like a fun and interesting difference you had.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna say, let me just go out, and
Speaker 1: this might not be true. In fact, I don't even
Speaker 1: think it is. We'll correct you. If you're wrong, I'll
Speaker 1: gather you right up. If you say something wrong about
Speaker 1: my family, you say, if you come from my family,
Speaker 1: I'll gather you right up. I'm not saying something wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm putting you on notice. So this is for the
Speaker 1: purposes of this. Let's say your parents are less strict
Speaker 1: than mine, and yet whenever they would be strict with
Speaker 1: you and be like, no, you're grounded, you're punished, you
Speaker 1: would actually obey them. Yes, But whenever my parents would
Speaker 1: say my parents wouldn't let me watch Saturday Morning cartoons
Speaker 1: for like a while, because they said that it was
Speaker 1: like rotting my brain because I would get up at
Speaker 1: like nine and watch all my shows all day and
Speaker 1: they'd be like, oh my god, Bowen, it's it's ruining Bowen.
Speaker 1: They would lock the basement door. It was one of
Speaker 1: those button locks that you press on the knob right
Speaker 1: and then on the other side. It's just that whole. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for the longest time, I couldn't figure out how to
Speaker 1: unlock it. But I need just took like a chopstick
Speaker 1: or something, or just like it was either chopstick or
Speaker 1: you were that defiant. So I was just like, I
Speaker 1: don't I need to watch Digimon, I need to watch
Speaker 1: yu gi Oh, I need to watch all my my
Speaker 1: kids that you beat my Fox Kids programming honey, And
Speaker 1: I would take like or like an Alan wrench and
Speaker 1: then I would just like unlock the door and Alan wrench. Girl.
Speaker 1: You were defiant. You were defying your parents. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that what's happening here is I think I had
Speaker 1: a scarier dad than you. My dad's personality has changed
Speaker 1: so much from when I was younger, like especially like
Speaker 1: when I was in like um elementary school, middle school,
Speaker 1: Like I think it was probably the way he was disciplined,
Speaker 1: but it was sort of it was it was not
Speaker 1: I never never violence, but always just like threat based.
Speaker 1: It was like you better do this thing. And I
Speaker 1: was like, huh. And now it's so weird to even
Speaker 1: think about the fact that he was ever that way
Speaker 1: because he's the most gentle person ever. But it's so interesting, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's a sweetheart, but but he was, you know,
Speaker 1: he was a strict parent. Like I was not allowed
Speaker 1: in high school to be drinking at all. Like I
Speaker 1: had a lot of social friends that like their parents
Speaker 1: were like loose about that whatever, but that kind of
Speaker 1: dad that was like, you may not do this, not
Speaker 1: even a family parties. That was my dad. I had
Speaker 1: a strict dad in that way. And my mother was
Speaker 1: very like, that's what your father says, and she agreed.
Speaker 1: I I believe that because so that's why I would
Speaker 1: never defy them, because it would be it would be mine.
Speaker 1: I would. I would steak around them and then I'd
Speaker 1: locked the door again and pretend that I never went
Speaker 1: down there. But then at times, at the times I
Speaker 1: would be caught. It was like a big blowout, but
Speaker 1: like the same thing with the video games, Like my
Speaker 1: dad the first console I ever owned, because they never
Speaker 1: let me get an N sixty four or Super Nintendo
Speaker 1: or anything. The first one I was about to get
Speaker 1: was in high school and at that time, the PS
Speaker 1: two had been out for years, and I was like,
Speaker 1: can I please buy a PS two? Fine? But then
Speaker 1: it got out of hand in his eyes, and so
Speaker 1: he hid the console and then I spent like forty
Speaker 1: five minutes looking for it, found it, new wher he
Speaker 1: had it every time, and then just like would sneak out,
Speaker 1: sneak in, or sneak around the house, and like he
Speaker 1: hit it in like the little section of the basement
Speaker 1: that was unfinished, and I would go into that section,
Speaker 1: know exactly where he hit it, and then just play it,
Speaker 1: plug it in. This might be a controversial call me
Speaker 1: for you in the moment, but I just I don't
Speaker 1: think my house was big enough to pull anything like
Speaker 1: that off. Like I feel like my parents would never
Speaker 1: have that, they would have seen me doing it. I've
Speaker 1: seen your childhood house, though, no, but this I lived
Speaker 1: in a house before that that was like my major
Speaker 1: video game house. And I'm telling you, like that house
Speaker 1: was There's no way I could have gotten a way
Speaker 1: with that. So I think you just had a big house, bitch. Honestly,
Speaker 1: if I'm ever going to raise kids, on the off
Speaker 1: chance that I do, I gotta raise them in a
Speaker 1: tiny house. It cannot be too big because they get sneaky,
Speaker 1: Because they're gonna be sneaky like you, they get sneaky.
Speaker 1: I need, I need to have my eye on them.
Speaker 1: Oh and you've grown up to become an even sneakier person. Yes, sneaker.
Speaker 1: How what's your what's your parenting style going to be? Well?
Speaker 1: If I had children, I think I actually be a
Speaker 1: very good parent, and I would try to be um
Speaker 1: hands off about types of things that like just let
Speaker 1: the kid experience this that the other thing. But then again,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, because I feel like i'd be
Speaker 1: more scared for a child that I was knowing what's
Speaker 1: out there, because it's like worth being scared about. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I probably also will not have children. I
Speaker 1: probably won't, but my fears that I will want to
Speaker 1: shape my child's personality in such a way that is
Speaker 1: ultimately destructive to their emotional health, like I see it
Speaker 1: now with parents where I'm just like, you are trying
Speaker 1: to make this kid a certain person, just internally, not
Speaker 1: even like not even like the way, like that's hard.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, mmmm, you're grafting it onto them because
Speaker 1: it's what you want, and that's unfortunately, like at the
Speaker 1: essence of every parenting mistake, I don't know. We should
Speaker 1: also say, though, that there truly is no right way
Speaker 1: to do it, and it's also the hardest thing in
Speaker 1: the world. And who are We're too childless faggots, We
Speaker 1: are no one to see you to judge at all.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, like, literally, that's the reason I had
Speaker 1: to take the question again. I tried to answer it
Speaker 1: once and then had to take it again because this
Speaker 1: confounds me so much. I have no idea what level
Speaker 1: of responsibility it takes to really give your attention of
Speaker 1: the time and resources of the time to another person,
Speaker 1: Like that's crazy and truly hats off. I just would
Speaker 1: not want to find out how I'm gonna funk up
Speaker 1: my kid, And I'm listing ways I think it could
Speaker 1: happen because I feel like I could commit any of them, Like,
Speaker 1: parenting must be crazy hard if you are, first of
Speaker 1: all our reader parents, Doug says hardest. Doug, we love you,
Speaker 1: we love everything. Anytime you've talked about your your daughter,
Speaker 1: I think, well, Doug must be a great father. It's
Speaker 1: the it's the hardest thing. I don't doubt that at all.
Speaker 1: If you're a reader and you're a parent, we love you,
Speaker 1: We love you someone. Everyone who has raised someone now
Speaker 1: in the world we love so much. We love everyone
Speaker 1: has raised someone else in the world. We love you tonight.
Speaker 1: I love the way you made world two syllables in
Speaker 1: a way world you get you did world or I
Speaker 1: guess it wasn't all. It's about two separate syllables. And
Speaker 1: you change the note, which I love. Sing sing World,
Speaker 1: Sing World. I can't I can't do I can't do it.
Speaker 1: No no, when you didn't prompt bow and if you
Speaker 1: sing the word world right now, it's going to bring peace.
Speaker 1: Do it World. And and that was bad. And that
Speaker 1: was bad because I was on the spot. I was
Speaker 1: put on the spot. You know what was one of
Speaker 1: the best moments in the world, Our tenth Day of culture,
Speaker 1: Our tenth Day of Culture was a day that was
Speaker 1: a moment that was one of the best in the world.
Speaker 1: And it solidified something that we all had been feeling
Speaker 1: but then was confirmed. And it was a moment that
Speaker 1: an institution that claims to be a gatekeeper. Mm hmmm,
Speaker 1: as they say in the biz, actually got it right.
Speaker 1: We actually got it right. This is on the tent
Speaker 1: Day Core March Best Actress Julia Roberts. The Oscars get
Speaker 1: it right for once. Wow again. This is where we
Speaker 1: might be revisiting some themes on the podcast. We've talked
Speaker 1: about Aaron Brockovich with Hunter Harris on our own independently,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of all time. Look, this
Speaker 1: isn't just about Aaron brock By, which has been covered
Speaker 1: ad nauseum on this podcast. This is this is one
Speaker 1: of the greatest films. We know it, we love it.
Speaker 1: It's one of the great star turns in you know
Speaker 1: movie star history, let alone best actress history. This is
Speaker 1: about the moment being met with the occasion and the
Speaker 1: Oscars getting it right for once and no one disagreeing.
Speaker 1: Universal praise, universal praise. But it wasn't a moment of
Speaker 1: anyone going I don't know about that. It was a
Speaker 1: moment that unified the world in a way we hadn't
Speaker 1: seen really since I think since the Nazis lost. I
Speaker 1: think since the Nazis lost the war. I do you
Speaker 1: remember that dress? Do I remember that dress? Do you
Speaker 1: remember her date? Benjamin Bratt? I had seen this congeniality. Oh,
Speaker 1: I had seen it several times, and we love that
Speaker 1: she had such a handsome date on her arm. Who
Speaker 1: you know, did they make it? Certainly not? Certainly not?
Speaker 1: But did I believe they were in love that night
Speaker 1: and nothing whatever come between them and the support that
Speaker 1: he gave her. This is one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1: As I've said, it's also I think one of the
Speaker 1: best movies based on a real person, you know, and
Speaker 1: biograph movie because they as they call biopic, as they say,
Speaker 1: a genius one, and really it does what biopics I
Speaker 1: think should do more, which is not trying to tell
Speaker 1: the entire life of a person, but take a defining
Speaker 1: moment in their life and let that speak volumes about
Speaker 1: who they are. Okay, should be the biopic way, like
Speaker 1: for example, you know, you could you could call I
Speaker 1: don't know, what's what's one? That was? Oh my week
Speaker 1: with Maryland? Did you see that? This? This is just
Speaker 1: like a moment in her life? But I think The
Speaker 1: film captures who she was and what her life's predicament
Speaker 1: was quite well. And I feel that this Aaron Brockovich
Speaker 1: of it All, did that very same thing. And Albert Finney,
Speaker 1: you had Aaron Eckhart had so many, so many wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful actors. Oh my god, you had the woman, the
Speaker 1: woman with the red hair who was in oh wait, yes,
Speaker 1: the red haired woman who was in What else was
Speaker 1: she in? She was in shoes, the woman. Okay, hold on,
Speaker 1: some of our years probably know this. They're screaming. There.
Speaker 1: She was in Brandy Cinderella. Yes, one of the sisters
Speaker 1: in Brandy Cinderella was the one who was listen. I
Speaker 1: just think we've gotten on the wrong foot here. She
Speaker 1: was like an iconic name, Priscilla. No, that's wrong. Hold on,
Speaker 1: Our readers know this, Hunter Harris, and she's listening. Is
Speaker 1: yell laying at us through her sub stock Vianne Cox, Minerva.
Speaker 1: And you're just saying names, Yeah, Anna, you're just saying names. Teresa, Teresa. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that was worth it. Teresa is a
Speaker 1: huge annoying lady. Name Karen is taken off, but Teresa,
Speaker 1: that's a real white woman. We need to fear Teresa,
Speaker 1: and we end readers who are named Teresa. We mean
Speaker 1: that in the way that the name conjures up a
Speaker 1: feeling in a movie, in the in the structure of
Speaker 1: a movie, you see, you understand there's two women. You
Speaker 1: have to choose one of them that you like more.
Speaker 1: Aaron Teresa. No, we love Aaron. We love Aaron. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. And you know who's famously named Teresa, miss
Speaker 1: mother Teresa. And still we're on this podcast saying what
Speaker 1: we're saying, and I don't think either of us are
Speaker 1: backing down. No, but then you have people like Teresa
Speaker 1: May and we're not gonna ever say we like her.
Speaker 1: Kidding me, no, no, no, no, sorry, Theresa Caputo get lost.
Speaker 1: Aaron Brockovich. I just think it's just like every scene
Speaker 1: Julia nails it. It's crazy. Yes, And because of this,
Speaker 1: we looked to the Oscars to sort of put the
Speaker 1: stamp approval, and um, this is I think what this
Speaker 1: is actually honestly is when I think back to my
Speaker 1: childhood and when I got obsessed with the Oscars, this
Speaker 1: is like the perfect moment because as a kid, you know,
Speaker 1: there weren't too many celebrities when we were that age
Speaker 1: was like the big ones were the big ones, and
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts was the biggest celebrity. So her to win
Speaker 1: an Oscar for a movie where she was doing all that,
Speaker 1: it was it was again queen making moment so interesting
Speaker 1: to think about because a lot of people will say
Speaker 1: something like Julia Roberts is sort of the last big
Speaker 1: movie star actress, and I don't think that's true. I
Speaker 1: just think people are having an of distance now from
Speaker 1: the nineties to say that was such a bygone era
Speaker 1: that will never have again. But it's like in Julia
Speaker 1: Roberts in the nineties, you were like, we're never going
Speaker 1: to have it on Elizabeth Taylor. It's like it's just
Speaker 1: this is just this, like twenty years from now will
Speaker 1: be like, gosh, we'll never have another Alicia of a
Speaker 1: candor or like Florence. You know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: those are weird examples, but you know, like by Florence,
Speaker 1: I don't buy Alicia. I know, I knew, I knew
Speaker 1: you would say that. I don't register Alicia Candy. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know her, and yet she has an
Speaker 1: Oscar and the Oars did. Did the Oscars get that
Speaker 1: one right? Would you? I would say no. I would
Speaker 1: say no, even not being able to remember what she
Speaker 1: looks like. I think she. I think she won for
Speaker 1: the Danish Girl, which was like an Eddie redmain Um
Speaker 1: performance in which he played a trans woman Um and
Speaker 1: she I believe one the supporting actress asker for that one.
Speaker 1: That which what How riled up are we nowadays about
Speaker 1: the Oscars just getting it wrong? And we feel like
Speaker 1: there's just the contant. It's not as bad as the Grammys,
Speaker 1: I don't think, but Oscars. I feel like there's never
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a year in a while where everyone's like, wow,
Speaker 1: well Parasite was was a moment where it was gotten right.
Speaker 1: But I also feel like, while this is the way
Speaker 1: I feel about the Oscars and pretty much any major
Speaker 1: awards now, it's like, when they get it right, I
Speaker 1: like to celebrate them, and when they get it wrong,
Speaker 1: I like to be like, well, it's all fixed. Like
Speaker 1: when something is deserved and I feel like it's getting
Speaker 1: a moment, I love to celebrate that, and then when
Speaker 1: it's like a ridiculous thing that shouldn't happen, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing anyway, right, Like I can,
Speaker 1: I can devalue these major awards like at the top
Speaker 1: of a hat if I need to, But if something
Speaker 1: I like happens, I'm like, it really was deserved. And
Speaker 1: you know, of course, like a lot of gay culture
Speaker 1: is like, you know, watching these awards and like understanding
Speaker 1: what they are, but at a certain point you do
Speaker 1: have to call bullshit. M of course all of it.
Speaker 1: But when they do something like Julia Year on your feet,
Speaker 1: when Julia is pushed through, you're like, oh, but that's
Speaker 1: just the system working the way it should. Yes, absolutely. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, they're still doing it this year,
Speaker 1: and what has even come? I don't And I guess,
Speaker 1: like I would imagine next year will be so crowded
Speaker 1: because everyone's gonna release their movie next year that's weighted
Speaker 1: this year or I don't know what will happen. But
Speaker 1: this year, I'm kind of like, are we having an oscars?
Speaker 1: What happened they're having in person? I think they're April.
Speaker 1: Now they're in April, right, I mean I I literally
Speaker 1: know they're happening, Like I know they're just pushed back,
Speaker 1: but it's just bizarre to me, Like, I feel like,
Speaker 1: what are the Oscar movies quote unquote that you've seen
Speaker 1: this year? We are in December. I think truly like
Speaker 1: the thrill of a filmgoing experience this year for me
Speaker 1: was because it's all blurring together. I'm like, oh right, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking that Charlie Starren movie that came out on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I'm like the one, yeah, the Old Guard, like that
Speaker 1: was June. And then like the last movie that I
Speaker 1: like felt like I was like truly like enjoying was
Speaker 1: like The Hunt. Honestly, yeah, I was like it felt
Speaker 1: like I was like kind of like jacking into like
Speaker 1: a movie going experience. I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've had that this year, which is unfortunate. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I guess the Oscar movies are like MANK, which I
Speaker 1: didn't even really know what it was, and then I
Speaker 1: watched the preview for it and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch that. Yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 1: I I will because I'm sure it'll start racket up
Speaker 1: nominations from places, but like, is that the Oscar movie
Speaker 1: this year? The other night, I watched the movie Let
Speaker 1: Them All Talk, which is the New Stephen movie with
Speaker 1: another film, Yes, Diane West and Candice Bergen, and they
Speaker 1: improvised basically, basically, I think a large vast majority of
Speaker 1: the dialogue was improvised by the actors Lucas Hedges, has
Speaker 1: Also and Jemma Chan and they were given like outlines
Speaker 1: of scenes and like told to improvise based on that,
Speaker 1: And as a result, the movie to me felt like
Speaker 1: more of an experiment than an actual movie, A good
Speaker 1: experiment that I enjoyed watching a lot of Some of
Speaker 1: the dialogue was fun. The performances are great, but it's
Speaker 1: just not really a tightly constructed good movie. Wasn't like
Speaker 1: an art experiment that happened on HBO Max with Meryl
Speaker 1: Streep about I mean, we were we were semi joking
Speaker 1: about about Julie Roberts winning the Oscar for this being
Speaker 1: a moment that united the country the world over. But
Speaker 1: no one likes the same movies anymore. That is another thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like those well that's not really true because
Speaker 1: sometimes a big blackbuster movie comes along and is nominated,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't happen a lot. Even when Paris I
Speaker 1: came out, you had people be like, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: a devil's advocate and say that it's bad, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just that's just but that's just the culture now, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that's the big culture. It did feel really good to
Speaker 1: see at least that room on television that we were
Speaker 1: watching felt they were unanimously excited about a movie winning.
Speaker 1: And I think that is honestly, what's missing is just
Speaker 1: that moment where like green Book, Shape of Water, Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly like when green Book and I mean Shape of
Speaker 1: Water people say is good. But like when movies like
Speaker 1: green Book win or like things like that, where it's
Speaker 1: just like, what is happening? It's like, where's the unseen
Speaker 1: majority that's that's voting for this when it happens. Sometimes
Speaker 1: that way, it just can demystifies the whole thing because
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, Green Book isn't the best movie.
Speaker 1: I know, right right, I just think them a lot
Speaker 1: in the last decade, it's been wacky as hell. Yeah, Birdman,
Speaker 1: I remember people being like, wait, what, like it's just
Speaker 1: been oscars. I mean we're joking in the title of
Speaker 1: this day, of course, get it right for once. They
Speaker 1: obviously have gotten it right before since then, but now,
Speaker 1: like the conception around it. Maybe it's because we all
Speaker 1: sort of know how the as as a as a public,
Speaker 1: how the industry works, and how sometimes these awards are bought.
Speaker 1: But it's like, oh but wait there there needs to
Speaker 1: be like a year because what because what one that
Speaker 1: the year the Julia one seventy it was Gladiator. I think, oh,
Speaker 1: let's see, right, I mean I think I think the
Speaker 1: Oscars were Russell Crowe, Glad Julia Roberts. And then was
Speaker 1: that who won Supporting Actress that year? Marcia gay Harden.
Speaker 1: For Marcia gay Harden was like the big surprise, But
Speaker 1: I remember it was like even Gladiator too, was like
Speaker 1: you didn't really question it. It was just kind of
Speaker 1: happening and it was a huge movie. But they don't
Speaker 1: really make those kinds of movies that are prestige and
Speaker 1: huge at the same time. Anyway, you really realize like
Speaker 1: how much has changed, Like like you used to have
Speaker 1: the industry tell you like this is a great movie
Speaker 1: and people would go see it. Now it's like not anymore.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't happen that way. I just have I
Speaker 1: just like have not kept my ear to the ground
Speaker 1: about like the repercussions that like Warner Brothers is going
Speaker 1: to have on like theaters and ships or just like movies.
Speaker 1: It's like you saw Timmy shallow May's little um statement
Speaker 1: that he made there on the end of SNL. He
Speaker 1: wore a shirt that said legend legendary right right, right,
Speaker 1: right right, which is the legendary is a dispute with
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers because you know, not ever, not everyone's on
Speaker 1: the same page about what Warner Brothers is doing about
Speaker 1: dumping all their movies onto HBO Max. It's it's controversial.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm worried, but it's already like the change
Speaker 1: is already irreversible ever since, like streaming has dominated our
Speaker 1: lives even before the pandemic. I mean, I will say this,
Speaker 1: I am going to be very happy as someone who
Speaker 1: wants to remain safe for as long as possible to
Speaker 1: have of course, that's what I'll say. And I think
Speaker 1: that this is an inevitable and responsible thing that they're doing. Um.
Speaker 1: While I can also see the other side, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, it will be a shame if this hurts
Speaker 1: the businesses of movie theater and the model of going
Speaker 1: to the movie theater. But I really don't think it will.
Speaker 1: I think that the industry will continue to be what
Speaker 1: it's always been, which is those big blockbuster movies. People
Speaker 1: are going to go see them in the movie theater
Speaker 1: because of that experience, and other than that, people are
Speaker 1: going to be streaming them because that ain't the fault
Speaker 1: of the pandemic or this one studio. That is what's
Speaker 1: happening with the entire film industry. So you can kick
Speaker 1: your feet and scream and talk about like how this is,

Speaker 1: of different obviously, Yeah, but yeah, that you're right. That
