And that is Hollywood is reactive. Hollywood 591 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 3: is a business. As soon as something works, they want 592 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 3: to do it again.

It's 604 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 2: kind of like it's in the theater, then it hits 605 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: the streaming service, and I'm not I mean, I don't 606 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: know how we gauge or if it's public information, how 607 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: well things do well box office is probable, but i 608 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: mean streaming, yeah, not as much. 609 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 3: You know, you can get information if you're really looking 610 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 3: for it. But one of the reasons I like to 611 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 3: make movies for the big screen is that it has 612 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 3: a different impact on the culture than movies that are 613 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: done on streaming, which. 614 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 4: I have done both and you will continue to do both. 615 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 4: So it's no shade to that. 616 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 3: It's just that there are movies that drop on streaming 617 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: every day that you never know about, never hear about, 618 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: never have any impact.

And that's a 798 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 2: real thing, like that type of pain where you feel 799 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 2: like I can't even do this because it makes me 800 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: think too much about somebody that was so important to. 801 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 5: Me, especially like grieving a mom, Like, yeah, that was 802 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 5: a big part of Anna's story, and what was hold 803 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 5: her back was her just kind of tucking it away 804 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 5: and not really dealing with it. But I think it 805 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 5: was beautiful that she came back to herself and found 806 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 5: that cooking healed her in a way and she could 807 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 5: envision herself being there with her mom again, which is 808 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 5: so nice.

If she would have hooked 812 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: up with Matteo. 813 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: That first night and had a one night stand when 814 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 2: they first met, but then went out to Tuscany and said, oh, 815 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: I chose the wrong brother. 816 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity after that to still. 817 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 5: Be with. 818 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: The right brother? 819 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: You know? 820 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 4: She believes the second chance. 821 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 5: I think that's a little too messy. I think that 822 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 5: if something happened between, it would have been like, okay, girl, 823 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 5: you're doing too much snuffy.
