00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: Netflix news.

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 5: First up, we have trailers.

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: There is a new trailer for twenty eight years later

Speaker 1: Bone Temple, which oh looks Gary. Are you ready to

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: enter the Bone Temple?

21
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 5: I tell you I am. I'm very excited about it.

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Twenty eight years Later was you know, I think one

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: of the most interesting, one of my favorite movies certainly

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: of last year. A Little I was a little shockingly divisive,

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: but the sequel, which was teased in the final two

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: minutes of that film has the new trailer and your thoughts.

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: Rosie looks great.

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: I love Nia DaCosta as a director. I think it's

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 4: going to be really interesting to focus on the ray

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: Fiend's character and obviously those characters that we met at

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: the end, who are obviously we've talked about before, very

32
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: connected to like a dark era of British culture with

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: Jimmy Saville and everything. Something else that looks really cool

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: about this is kind of posing of what do they

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: see when they kill? Like This is definitely going to

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: be a moralistic question of is what's Rap finds his

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: role in this as the doctor, what is his relationship

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: to Sampson going to be? How are we going to

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: find out about the inner workings of the zombie brain.

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: There is definitely like a VOLDEMORTE level of like machinations

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: that people have been talking about a lot. But the

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: thing I'm really interested in is whether or not they

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: will do what Pluribus has been doing so well, which

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: is to go deeper and explore what it means to

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: be part of a hive mind or a zombie population

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: or the essentially victims of what has been If you

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 4: gain sentience like a zombie genocide because everybody's been killing the.

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: Zombies to survive.

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of really interesting stuff there,

50
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: and I think Raife has the juice to do it,

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 4: and I think his relationship with Sampson is going to

52
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: play a big part into that and our kind of

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: understanding of where humanity in, you know, the closed off

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: isle of the British Isles in this version still stands.

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 4: If you guys remember in the last movie, we saw

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: that Samson has a zombie wife and she gives birth

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: on the train during that crazy action sequence, and it's he.

58
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Now has a baby.

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: So that is obviously going to tie in to what

60
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: we know here because it seems like the baby is

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: born uninfected. Yeah, we'll see some really cool themes I

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: think continue to be explored of this kind of notion

63
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: of what it is to be a child in this

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: world and.

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: Where the future of this world is headed.

66
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: We're going to see that through the story of the

67
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: main kid we met last time, but I think we'll

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: also see like a contemporary analogous version of that with

69
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: what it means for Samson.

70
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: To raise that child.

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: I just think, like you said, interesting, are you going

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: to come out of this feeling joyful about the state

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 4: the world. No, these movies are bleak and depressing, but

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: they are interesting and weird, and no one is doing

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: anything like it.

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: And the fact that they are able to get this movie.

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: Out straight away because they filmed it back to back

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: with two different directors, I think is very clever. And yeah,

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: I'm excited for that one. Looks amazing, can't wait. Scary, scary, scary.

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: Next up, we have a trailer, the final official trailer

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: for a Night of the Seven Kingdoms. Wow, the Game

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: of Thrones spin off that is an adaptation of the

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: beloved Duncan Egg novellas. And it looks great and it's

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: clearly the tone is going to be something new for

85
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: this world.

86
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 5: And I thought this was really wonderful.

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: I love it. I was reading.

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: The Duncan ag novellas recently prepping for this incredible show.

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: I can't wait for it. I was blown away by

90
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: how like delightfully cozy and fun the books are. I

91
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: think it is going to be a totally different feel,

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: but I also I think that it's gonna be kind

93
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: of trailblazing in the way that the original Game of

94
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: Phone series is because outside of Lord of the Rings,

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 4: we have not really gotten a more kind of laxid

96
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: days ocal, feudal.

97
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: Kind of pastoral era of.

98
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: Cozy fantasy like this, where you get an adventure that

99
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: isn't your classic Lobe Wrph and car but is actually

100
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: something entirely different. And I think the trailer puts that across.

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 4: I'm so excited. I love the casting in this show.

102
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: I am excited to hear you and Gretta talk about it.

103
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 4: I can't wait for the show and I can't believe

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 4: it comes out so soon in January, which is like,

105
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: will you.

106
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: Better get ready, babies?

107
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: Read this?

108
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: This is like five weeks.

109
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 4: Yes, read a Night of the Seven Kingdom's edition of

110
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,320

Speaker 3: They are wonderful. You will be prepared.

113
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: You can easily read it very short before you get

00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: into January, and we will obviously be going hard on

115
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: that coverage. But yeah, what a trailer. I mean, this

116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: was given me goosebumps. This is the kind of shit

117
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: I think we need. It's different, it's unique, it looks cool,

118
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 4: telling a story we haven't seen before, and obviously forget HBO.

119
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: It has that Game of Thrones ip, so hopefully people

120
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: are going to tune in. But yeah, this is probably

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: my most anticipated show of next year right now. This

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: is the one I can't wait to get my eyes on.

123
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: And finally, the trailer for the long awaited, long awaited

129
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: second ass second off this second after the first Ready

130
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: or Not ended Ready or Not, we haven't I don't

131
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: think we've ever talked about that movie.

132
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: But a super super fun film.

133
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,279

138
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: They this is by Radio Silence, the guys who would

139

Speaker 3: go on to reboot Scream.

140
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: They have a horror voice and a horror mindset that

141
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: is really unique, really fun. If you didn't see their

142

Speaker 5: That's their tone, very eat the.

145
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: Rich, post parasite, but before the twenty twenty riots. It's

146
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: very much like rich people are demonic and they're in

147
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 4: these cults and that's how they get all their money,

148
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: and you fight them, and she ends up marrying into

149
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: the family, has to fight them, survives and at the

150
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: end she is, as we learn from this trailer, essentially

151
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: swept up into a John Wick esque world where there

152
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: are multiple families who have to do these demonic cult

153
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: kind of rituals. They want to do it again with

154
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: her because she survived, but this time to make her

155
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: do it, they're going to bring in her sister, played

156
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 4: by none other than at Man's daughter, Cassie Lang, who

157
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: we love. It was also in Abigail, who was in

158
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: Free Key, who was in The Good Old.

159
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: What was the most recent movie that she was in

160
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: that everybody really loved.

161
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: A'm Man in The Worst Quantumnia Everyone's favorite. But yes,

162
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: we love the actress. She is really brilliant and this

163
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: is going to be a super fun movie. I can't

164
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: wait to see this. I can't wait to see these

165
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: to kill off a bunch of people. We got Sarah

166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 4: Michelle Geller talking about comebacks just before Buffy also has

167
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: Sean Hatosi in it, who's from the faculty, who's had

168
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: a huge come up because of the pit So this

169
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: is going to be all those kind of character actors

170
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: in the craziest, glorious to eat the rich stuff you

171
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: can imagine.

172
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: I can't wait for this. Looks bagging up next.

173
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: It's one of the best times ever in the history

174
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: of the world to be a furry and Zoosympia two

175
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: is in theaters and is raking in the furry, the plush, wonderful,

176
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: warm to the touch, dollars to the tune of six

177
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million in its first week.

178
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: Okay, so this is a aside from the furry of

179
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: it all, which is obviously a big point because this

180
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: was a this was like for our generation, let's face it.

181
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 4: For our generation, it was Robin Hood, the Disney classic

182
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: from the seventies that ended up, you know, inspiring a

183
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: lot of furries. But Zootopia is the furry.

184
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 5: It's the it's the furry movie.

185
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 4: Cat nap and I will say this is actually a

186
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 4: chance for me to talk about one of the few

187
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: things that I think has been positive for Disney.

188
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: About Disney Plus, a lot of.

189
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: People have talked about, oh, you know, is it diluting

190
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: the brand, blah blah blah. Well it has done for

191
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: sure that we have been able to prove is it

192
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 4: has made movies that in previously would have probably been

193
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: more successful from your VHS space. It has turned that

194
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 4: into Disney Plus, which means any movie that is on

195
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: there can become the next biggest movie. Mona, Leelo and

196
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: Stitch which went from VHS success to Disney Plus success

197
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: to now Zutopia. These are movies that kids are able

198
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: to watch every single day. They do not need to

199
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: own them, their parents do not need to buy them.

200
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: They can just watch Zutopia a million times. They love

201
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: that Shakira song from Zutopia. There's a reason they brought

202
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 4: Shakira back. You can go to Disneyland and you can

203
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: meet the cop animals from Zutopia. This is a real huge,

204
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 4: smash hit film that people adore. And Zootopia two has

205
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 4: come in and absolutely smashed wicked, smashed all these other

206
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 4: big things because these kids are the buying market. Wicked

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 4: is still doing great. It made one hundred milli in.

208
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: Its second week, So don't worry. Wicked's still doing fine,

209
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: but six hundred and twenty million and is past way.

210
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Cynthia, Arianna, don't be afraid. The movie is still doing

211
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: very well. Calm down, please stop crying.

212
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: Cry, don't cry, don't mean to scare you, don't get

213
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: matching tattoo.

214
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: It's all okay, let's take a quick break.

215
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:31,479
Speaker 1: Were back with more headlines, and we're back with honestly

216
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: the biggest news, craziest probably of the week and probably

217
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: of the year potentially in terms of media. It's something

218
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: that we talked about a couple of years ago. We

219
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: talked about it a lot on the pick up lines

220
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: for the writers and actor strike and that was that

221
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: coming up very soon. There's not going to be you know,

222
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: six streamers, there's going to be two, and they're going

223
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: to be massive, and we're watching it happened before our eyes.

224
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Netflix is in talks and apparently has had their It

225
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: seems like they're they've had their offer basically the terms

226
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: of it accepted, and that is they're going to buy

227
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers and Warner Brothers Movie Studios, which includes HBO

228
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: Max in an eighty two point seven billion dollar deal.

229
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: What is this, I would assume that includes d C

230
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: and the DC, I would say, I would go and

231
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: obviously this is they've They've said that they're going to

232
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: maintain a theater releases for Warner Brothers movies. Although they

233
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: one would expect that since Netflix has been the enemy

234
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: of movie theaters, the avowed stated enemy of movie theaters

235
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: for the entire time that they've been around, one would

236
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: expect that they're going to try and put their finger

237
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: on the scale with regards to the.

238
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: Cadence and such.

239
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 5: But they obviously huge news.

240
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 4: They already said that they're gonna shorten windows between theatrical

241
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: and when they would be on Netflix for something like

242
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 4: a Batman, the Batman two or something, which the whole

243
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: thing is just blowing my mind because I want to say,

244
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: this is one of those classic we were right situations,

245
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: and hey, look man, people can talk about backseat critics,

246
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: they can talk about people on podcasts who talk about

247
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 4: the business who aren't necessarily making these deals. But guess what, guys,

248
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 4: four years ago, when David Zaslav bought Warner Brothers for

249
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: half of this amount. Me and Jason told you he

250
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: bought it to strip it for parts and sell it,

251
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: and that is what he did. And it is honestly

252
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: shocking to me that he has managed to double his

253
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: business in that time. This is almost double what he

254
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 4: paid for it. Unbelievable business of Koutremont.

255
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: I was so say he succeeded, look I about him.

256
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: But he succeeded.

257
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: He doubled his money.

258
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 4: And I think this is a great argument in the

259
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: ongoing conversation about whether or not what is profitable for

260
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: execs is good for audiences, because you could argue that

261
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers has struggled throughout that time. It has had

262
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: some big hits. Obviously the James Gun of Us has

263
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: been very successful for them, but it has also.

264
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: Had some flops. It's also had some struggles.

265
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 4: It's had some drama with getting rid of content that

266
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: already exists, like its animated content and animated movies, obviously

267
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: the cancelation of Batgirl, but the pushing forward of movies

268
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: like Alto Nights, a movie you never heard of because

269
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: it did not succeed, but that cost ninety million dollars

270
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: and was written by one of David Zaslov's close friends

271
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: in the Hamptons, with Robert de Niro in it. There

272
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: has been a lot of controversy over his running of

273
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: the company, but ultimately capitalism wins and he won. What

274
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: does this mean for Warner Brothers? What does it mean

275
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 4: for Netflix? What does it mean for the DCU? This

276
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: is essentially unprecedented, so I think we don't really know

277
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: because as much as they want to expand into theatrical,

278
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: they wanted to all this stuff that sounds good to

279
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: the shareholders right now, what this really means is Netflix

280
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: is about to have an unbeatable catalog if they choose

281
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: everything on there. Because the biggest critique of Netflix for

282
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 4: the last few years, aside from the corporate capitalism kind

283
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: of moralistic critiques, which are very fair and have been

284
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: talked about often, is the fact that only five percent

285
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: of its catalog comes from before the nineteen nineties and

286
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: even less but comes from before the nineteen eighties.

287
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: So obviously with TCM with HBO.

288
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: Max, they would be able to expand that out to

289
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: an exponential degree. And essentially, I do think if this

290
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: deal goes through, they will become the streamer. There is

291
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: no way Paramount Plus or anyone else can compete with

292
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: the Netflix that has all of Warner Brothers content. But

293
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: the HBO of it all is also why that may

294
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: not be able to go through because that brings in

295
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: some issues with the antitrust laws because HBO is a

296
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 4: actual broadcast TV channel.

297
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: Still, it's still a linear channel.

298
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 4: Even if most people watch it via the apps, So

299
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: we're going to see. Also, this is not the deal

300
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: that Donald Trump wanted to go through. He wanted Paramount

301
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: and Larry Ellison wanted the Sky he wanted Skydance to

302
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: go through.

303
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: So that's interesting.

304
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: Will that come up as an issue whatever happened, Guys,

305
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 4: we're living in unprecedented times. Best case scenario out of

306
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: this is that Netflix buys Warner Brothers, does what it's

307
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: done to the Egyptian and basically buys up a ton

308
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: of indie theaters that are struggling and that need help

309
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 4: and uses them as a space like the Egyptian where

310
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 4: they still have programming by American Cinematech. They still do

311
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: great rep screenings, but when they need a premiere, they

312
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: go and do Netflix. They did it with the Paris

313
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: in New York. I understand that corporations owning things is

314
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: not ideal, but it would be amazing if this could

315
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: lead to more cinema presentations and more rep cinemas and

316
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: things that can appeal to both Netflix as a company

317
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: aka having a nice theater to do a premier in,

318
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 4: but can also keep cinema going for an audience. Because

319
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers is one hundred plus years of cinema history.

320
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: So it's since day it's basically a day one.

321
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's kind of crazy.

322
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 4: I've been lucky enough to be on the lot a

323
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: lot of times, like what would that look like? Is

324
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 4: Netflix going to take over the Warner Brothers lot? Warner

325
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 4: Brothers makes a lot of TV for other people, like

326
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers makes Abbert Elementary on their lot that is

327
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: then licensed to Disney and ABC and Hulu. So there's

328
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: lots of questions like that, the messiness of this deal.

329
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: We will be excavating it for years, I think. But hey,

330
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: it looks like it's gonna happen. Will Warner Brothers still

331
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 4: be able to work with someone like Christopher Nolan in

332
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: this case?

333
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean that'll be a big question, And I think

334
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of connected to that is the fate of TCM.

335
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Where does TCM go in this? Does it stay with

336
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers and go to Netflix, it go somewhere else?

337
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: Do they make it its own streaming service? Like?

338
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: Are they going to spin these off into Netflix, TCM, Netflix, HBO.

339
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: Like one thing situation.

340
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: One thing that we saw was Zaslav at least was

341
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: was vulnerable to pressure by filmmakers who and part of

342
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: that point of pressure was concern about what would happen

343
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: to TCM. This is a couple of years ago when

344
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: drastic cuts were happening around TCM, and there's been some

345
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: reporting to suggest it. I was gonna would would be

346
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: split from Warner Brothers and go to cable with Discovery,

347
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: which I think would be crazy, But you know, so

348
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: we will see, and we will will see if filmmakers

349
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: raise their voices, have any concerns about Jason deal.

350
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 4: And I'm glad you brought that up, because actually they

351
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 4: dropped it. At the end of last night, Variety dropped

352
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 4: a report that just came that was about anonymous A

353
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: listers who are apparently already lobbying against the Netflix WDBD acquisition,

354
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 4: saying that they would hold a noose around the theatrical marketplace,

355
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 4: and I think the implication from the press is like

356
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: a lot of people are like this sounds like Tom

357
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 4: Cruise is.

358
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: Involved, so maybe he can.

359
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 4: It's a lot about theatrically importance of theatrical and it

360
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: would people are very very worried, including film producers, that

361
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 4: Netflix would deeply impact the theatrical window and the theatrical

362
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: release and the importance of.

363
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: Theatrical if this deal goes ahead.

364
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 4: So hopefully the negotiations and the compromise will lead us

365
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: to a place where we really get something good out

366
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 4: of this.

367
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 3: But it's a crazy story.

368
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: I have to say, if you'd have given me money

369
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 4: to bet on this, Netflix would have been very, very

370
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: very low on my odds list.

371
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: I did not see this one coming.

372
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,000
