Speaker 1: And I haven't. I don't think we've talked about this much.
On Giefers, I talked it was a couple of times
I've told you. But so obviously a couple of months ago,
a couple months ago was rumored, and then like a
month ago Warner Brothers said, yeah, we are officially up
for sale. Someone biased, right, and we kind of thought
Zazov was gonna do that, but we're up for sale.
So here we go, in the matter of the podcast existing,
Warner Brothers has been bought and this will be the
third time now in the ten eleven years that we've
been doing this. Yeah, exactly. So uh so the people
that went into bid was Paramount. We didn't know if
it was with Saudi Rabia or not. At one point
or report said it was, but they're like, no, no, no,
that's not true. But we don't know if that was true.
So it was Paramount, which obviously is very has a
lot of stuff in the news right now with rush
hour and Trump, so obviously people like I don't know
how I feel about that, And then.
Speaker 2: Mickcliffe notes of what that is because I saw it meme,
but I didn't believe what it was.
Speaker 1: So pretty much like the news outlets have reported in
different ways. But the guy, the family that owns Paramount,
they're very close with the Trump administration, friends or anything
like that. So and I guess that there's a guy
named Brent Rattner who directed original Rush Hour movies other movies,
and he's been canceled because he like did multiple sexual
assaults all this stuff. But he's trying. Yeah, of course, yeah,
of course he's making the documentary of Trump's wife. That's
what's happening. He's directed a movie called Maloney, and this
is what the sculluet seems to be that he directed
that movie and it might be a favor for him.
So apparently they were a bunch of people are trying
to get Rush Our four going, and because the price
taking other things multip people are like, now, we don't
want that. But I guess Trump is kind of maybe
a favorite Brett Ratner because he would be directing and
maybe he wants to see Rushiar four. I don't know,
but he had said, hey, I want you to make
this movie, and that's where they're making it. So Jackie
Chan and Chris Tucker come back. It's a hundred million.
So and again the guy that directed the documentary about
his wife has got some new gig now, right, So
that's what happens. So that's why off sue with Paramount.
There's a lot of like fuck, what are they gonna do?
And even Taylor's you know, Taylor's boy, Taylor Sheridan, he
had left Paramount. There's rooms for a bunch of stuff.
But I guess rumors. I don't know what next year is.
The next year America is having some milestone where it's
like not one hundred perfecty, but many thousand. I don't
know however Old America is. It's a huge one, right,
So I guess they are pitching him on the show
like for the anniversary, we want you to make a show.
We want you to make it like really right wink,
Like we wanted to go really that side. And he
was like like, I like some of these shows might
skew that way at times, but like I don't really
want to do that, but like, no, we think it'd
be fit perfectly for you. And then now he's leaving
the Universal. So there's just been a lot of like
that company clearly is on one side, which you know, that's
fine if you if there's right views, you have right content.
That's fine, but I think it's they're so that side
people are worried. And then the Universal on Comcast, who
is before they tried to buy Fox didn't happen. Uh,
and they've been in the running for this, that's not happening.
And then the other option, which was a I think
everyone's worst option until this rush hour four stuff happened,
was Netflix. Because you don't know what's gonna happen with
Netflix and physical and they've said before they have no
interest in physical media. They release movies in theaters, but
it's like very small in between. Like when I got Frankenstein,
they said it was doing a three weeks per leak
and I got we got it here in the second week, right,
So it's like, I don't know, but apparently so we
have to wait. We'll probably have more details in the morning,
but this is going around everywhere. They did one bidding
session that wasn't good enough to another. Today was another
bidding session, and apparently Netflix wins the Warner Brothers Discovery
bidding war Enters exclusive deal talks. Now, obviously this is
something that wouldn't happen immediately. This is still something that
has to be approved by government stuff. And there's been
rumors too that because you know, not to get too political,
but because Trump does a lot of government things and
blocking things that some people think, he might block a
lot of deals that aren't paramount because those are his boys.
But we don't know if that's just like putting through
the presses. Even this morning, Paramount put out a letter
and they said that they have felt this process has
been unfair. They felt this process with bidding, Warner Brothers
says they have not been looked at kindly with their
overtures and whatnot. And Warner Brothers said, oh, we're doing
everything by the books. So but it looks like that's
what's happening right now, just in the moment that Netflix wins.
It's the warmbus Discovery bidding war and there's exclusive deal talks.
It was from a few places, but now it's going
everywhere with all the s tiers everything like that. So, uh,
Kirking Patser, how do you feel about this? Because obviously
Warner Brothers being sold for a third time, I would
imagine when Netflix this is probably the final time. I
think Netflix has proven they're sticking around. But how do
you feel about that, cause, like, I don't think it's
gonna happen, but what if there's that reality where the
first time you see The Batman two is at home
on your fifty to sixty five inch you know, Like,
and I think that's what people are most worried about,
is losing all these things.
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers probably come on Netflix has how does they
put movies in theaters?
Speaker 1: But they do it for like a week or two,
like it's a very and even then, like there's stuff
like that though it's not no, and that's where I
agree with you, but even stuff like oh they put
The Killers on theater or not the Killers the Killer Fast.
But I'm like, we didn't get that here. But there's
some movies like I got or Dwayn Johnson's Red Notice right,
like it's their theatrical stuff has been here. Didn't say that. No,
I didn't see that. I was like, I get this,
but not The Killer. I agree that. I think a
big franchise would be that. But obviously that's just a
worry right of like what they know we want we
want you to subscribe instead, because here's the thing, Kirk,
before you go with the theaters, they still want to split money.
There's still they you still got to split that sixty
forty fifty to fifty. If it's like, hey, come watch
the Batman on Netflix, all that money goes to Netflix.
There's no splitting, there's no nothing. So there could be
a world where they say, yeh, fuck it, Yeah, let's
put more Moral Kombat too, Let's put the Batman just
on Netflix and here you go watch it there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they'll be like a like a decent
amount of films that just do that. They do just
go straight to Netflix. But I still think for the
big heavy hitters they will do that. And for something
like The Batman, it's gonna like if it's selling, well,
it's not going to just be in theaters for a
week like you were saying. So I like, if they're
making a massive purchase like what they're doing, I feel
like this is already kind of out of the realm
of what they were already doing. So I feel like
just their overall output of content is going to be
different than what it has been because this is like
a super big that's all. It's a lot of content,
a lot of money that they're putting into that decades
year and if they split the cost with the theater,
I mean, if the movie makes over a billion dollars,
like that's a pretty decent deal.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not a businessman, but it's it's definitely intriguing because
what you said, Paramount was one of the bidders.
Speaker 1: But it was like this, Reeves, you can stay in theaters, gun,
DC is gonna be on Netflix. Could you imagine? And
I get another bone to throw, but storry kree what
were you saying?
Speaker 2: You said Paramount was one of the paras.
Speaker 3: And you know that was that was rush hour for buddy.
Speaker 1: Paramount is the al Yeah, they're very glad it's thought
that route, yes, but not like Netflix is like also roam.
Speaker 2: There robbin Elbows too, with the same people, right lobbyists
and all that such.
Speaker 1: I guess I guess that's where because I was talking
about this with because me and Clay were in the
Netflix camp and Bob, who's bringing some good points of
like even like when all that Chappelle stuff went down,
right when he made all tho jokes about the trans community.
Netflix is kind of like, well, watch it if you want,
watch if you don't. And that's like I'm not wronging
on that debate. That's a whole that'd be like a
longer one, but I think we'll yeah, circle back an
our fork. We're not going to the gym, No, we're going.
But like, I think my worry is that people are
definitely shitty. I think you're just seeing with Paramount now
it's starting to maybe like infect the actual content. Right,
there's tons of people that we watch shows of movies
with that we don't agree with at all, right, but
it's still like, hopefully it's not the content, or if
it's designated to be the content, right, But it's like
I don't need Paramount being like yeah, and this time
Batman's fucking helping ice this go around, you know, Like
that's the type of shit where it's just like when
they're taling Taylor shared it and be like, you should
make a really yeah for America's birthday, you should make
a really right ring show and he's like what, I'm like, yeah,
like really right, Like okay, I'm gonna bounce. Now. There's
other reasons, but that's why I think it's just I
think Netflix is rubbing hands with all those same people,
but the content might not be as affected as what
we're just hearing, like the fuck that the fact the
president trumps, but yeah, make Rush Hour four. It's happened.
He's like, that's scary ship like and I'm not watching
Rush out of four because of that. I have no
expect even more than Brett Ratner watch three.
Speaker 3: Man, they were bad after two come on.
Speaker 1: Though, absolutely, and it's like even now we know more
about that, it's just like, but that's the thing where
it's like, I'm with you. I wish, like says, I
was hoping Universal would win it because like they still
do theatrical. They are another movie studio, but I think.
Speaker 2: They kind of Universal Studios DC World.
Speaker 1: Imagine DC World. You walk right to Gotham like imagine
like Harry Potter World, but it's Gotham. Holy fuck Arkham Asylum.
You go get adopted in there and everything like that.
Speaker 2: It's your whorehouses. You want to go where you sign
the waiver.
Speaker 3: They choke you, out beat you up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just a dress as joker goons in the
but uh yeah, I was hoping that too, because again,
I'm sure they're not perfect, but I was so but
I think they just didn't have Unfortunately, like David Elison
at times is like beat Elon Musk for the most
richest man in the world. And Netflix to me and
I have somebody and can go.
Speaker 2: Back to geek for saying that's a paramount people and Netflix,
you can go back in history.
Speaker 1: I for a while thought Netflix was gonna go away.
I thought, oh, man, when everyone starts throwing streaming services
and pull their movies away, it's over for Netflix. And
it didn't. And I also think COVID helped Netflix hugely
because they were just they already had content government. Well yeah,
they didn't need to worry about the Yeah, yeah, an
hour five, But they didn't need Netflix need to fucking
worry about theaters. It's like you can just do that.
But and here to Mike's point too, like you're talking
about a company that might not release K pop to
demon hunters.
Speaker 3: Which is that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, and that's what I mean, Like, are they
But that's the thing, Mike, they might just be in
the mode where we can technically make more money by
people subscribing to the feed than going to pay a ticket.
Speaker 2: At the seeds for them to like to share with
direct to consumer, it's right fair you know, and that's
what it's just just missing out on this in an experience.
Speaker 1: They don't there.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, you're totally right. It just sucks.
Speaker 1: The only reason frankensign w in the theater so they
can get some oscar buzz.
Speaker 2: But maybe you just see it going the route where
it's like they make a deal where it's not fifty
to fifty, like at Netflix actually gets a bigger portion,
and then the theaters would be willing to make that
deal because like it is going to be a billion
dollar movie or I.
Speaker 1: Think at one point it was like this, but I
think because the world the way it is now, at
one point a studio could not own a movie theater.
But I think now you're allowed to. And I wonder
if they start doing that ship where it's ayah, we'll
put in theaters so you gotta go to the Netflix right.
Speaker 3: Driving down the highway. That's kind of crazy, true.
Speaker 1: That sounds like such a monopoly. I hate that. But
at the same time, if that means I can see
these movies in theaters, then sure, Colonna open up the
fucking Netflix.
Speaker 2: Theater and we don't even have Imax. You think we're
getting a Netflix theater.
Speaker 1: We'd get that before we got fucking other McDonald's downtown.
We love Netflix, we'll put in there.
Speaker 3: Do you have another McDonald's downtown?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just added up. Yeah, it's like another McDonald's.
And worry for those people working their downtown.
Speaker 3: Late night there people sucks.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mentioned downtown ten pm McDonald's. The people
coming in there not not your not I'm not. I'm
not adopting any of those people.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Uh, Taylor, you've been You've been quiet other than a
madson's phone. You've been quiet. What are you? What are
you thinking about all this? Now that obviously again lots
of has to happen, but lost these we've we've done
this rig role before with activision with Fox where it's like, well,
let's wait and see things could not happen. But at
the same time, as of right now, it's looked like
if things go through day, Netflix will own oneer Brothers
in all this I PS so Harry fuck Harry Potter
is gonna be on Netflix. Dow're just kind of crazy,
right if this happens, Euphoria would be there like all
these shows Like that's crazy, Like I said, the cat
One show, we talked about would be on Netflix now,
you know.
Speaker 4: So does that mean like everything on Crave is just
gonna get like Crave is gonna close down?
Speaker 1: And I think what would happen is the contract they
signed with Crave. So let's say it was let's say
Harry Potter, right, Let's say if they suck or actually
probably not that. Let's say HBO signed a five year
deal with Crave. Whenever that ended, Crave would probably cease
to exist with that content with HBO and things like that,
because we have the Netflix stuff and it's not like
we get Netflix Exclusive Canada and America stuff like we do,
but not like the originals, like we're not getting delayed
on stranger things. So probably what happened. Let's say Crave
signed a contract to twenty thirty two. When that's done,
Crave would not have any that Warner Brother stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: For a moment, I thought you were talking to me,
and I thought I was the one to fuck.
Speaker 1: Oh no, he asked me a question of my questions.
So Tarry go in, are you going to delay Taylor?
What's going on? What the fuck?
Speaker 4: No? I can see I've been sitting here for like
twenty minutes and just like listening to you guys with
a perfect connection and then now it's like been cycling
like of course that when I have to fucking talk.
Speaker 3: So oh no.
Speaker 2: Against some audio through your mic sounds being adopted right now?
Speaker 1: Hard? All right, there go Netflix Warner Brothers.
Speaker 4: Go, uh yeah, Netflix getting it? I think is great
because I feel like we're gonna be well, okay, what's wrong?
Am I delayed?
Speaker 1: Just going just go keep going?
Speaker 5: Sorry okay, let me let me leave the room and
come back talk.
Speaker 1: Fill the rooms just got up walked and then.
Speaker 3: Just leave the room.
Speaker 2: It don't leave this physical space.
Speaker 1: But no, that is interesting why they brought up as
far as crave because like that like that it'll change
like and that's the thing this does cho right, that
would be the thing. I think they'd shudder all that
stuff even HBO like what like does HBO stand that?
That's what's interesting too because you look at Disney when
they've bought Fox. Obviously lot of stuff went over, but
they still like twentieth century right, like they kept that
studio open to do like more Aescar adult movies, so
it's still studio is not the same, but it's kind
of like adjacent. So I wonder if they do that too,
if like let's keep HBO but not HBO Max Max
is like let's do that, and Netflix.
Speaker 2: Like such a big scale of money that it's oh yeah,
like it's not just easy to just take all of
that and throw it under the Netflix, Like this is
how we're gonna do it now, That's why. Like I
just feel like they have to kind of shift how
they have been doing things, whether whether it's buying a
fucking theater or just putting more things into the theaters.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's just I mean, I guess in
the in the sense of Crave and HBO Max where
we're talking streaming services, so it could just get incorporated
a Netflix.
Speaker 3: Netflix is now sixty.
Speaker 1: Fix a month, fucking step. Oh yeah, when everyone's good.
Now we know why, and everyone's complaining about those prices
going up. We know why they're would that.
Speaker 2: Because it's like, well, now I'm not paying for Crave
and like all these other things, right, Like it's just
I'm already paying those amounts just in all these different
areas and like.
Speaker 1: When was when let's see was creative? I want to
see how old technically Warner Brothers was creating nineteen twenty three.
It is a one hundred year old company. The amount
of like Netflix already has a lot of content people
put stuff on there. Now you're getting one hundred years
worth of content and a lot of some of the
biggest movies of all time, like fucking like even just
you got primarily Nolan's Category two there too, right, Like,
and that's the other thing too, people like Nolan who
doesn't like streaming, and Tom Cruise, that's what's gonna be
interesting too, right, And that's what I always hated about
this where I wanted Warner Brothers to stay the same
because I wanted because now we're down to like four
big studios, Like we've lost another big studio. But now
it's those people like Tom and Nolan. It's like, either
they just do streaming and you lose those people, or
do they do theatricals so they can attract that talent, right,
because if they're just the or they're just streaming, Nolan's
never going back to Warner Brothers, Like he's never gonna
go back there. He'll stay, you know. And even then
as Warner Brothers exists, this is is it just dead
is it just Netflix down that Warner Brothers name is
just no longer alive? Like what reason does it need
to be? Why would you confuse the audience.
Speaker 2: For like that legacy, like the legacy of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but do these people with the big money care
about it? Do they care about the older people.
Speaker 2: That like, oh, yeah, Warner brother brother's property, especially like
the the Looney Tunes tie and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Right, they don't have Looting Tunes anymore. They sold it.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't even know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they might have the Actually I don't
know if they've got the backlog. But that's and that's
his ass off thing, right you would think, oh, you know,
it's all Looney Tunes. That's an iconic figure. Warm bus.
Now we don't want it. So that's where it's like
these Netflix people like, I don't. I don't think that's
the thing where they're gonna. And here's one thing up
before we go back to Taylor super funny. I can't
remember his position, but he has a high ranking position.
Fucking big Dan Linn is over there as like a
CEO or I will get his official title. But like, man,
what a fucking crazy way to maybe reroute and get
yourself to be running DC. Right, he does the interview,
doesn't get the job, and now like I'll get his
official title. Okay, here it is.
Speaker 2: It is just this whole time since he lost well
I don't know if he lost the job, but he
just didn't get that.
Speaker 1: He didn't get the job. Yeah, I think he interviewed,
didn't get it.
Speaker 2: But this is collecting the fucking soul the gems.
Speaker 1: His official title right now is Dan Lynn was named
chairman of Netflix Film. So this guy who lost, let's
say in this scenario, lost the interview process to James
Gunn could now be his fucking boss. Yeah, and like.
Speaker 2: His wife too.
Speaker 3: At this point, he's gonna land.
Speaker 1: Like at this point, maybe he's just like, oh cool,
I like what you're doing the DC, James. What if
this is his chance to do whatever he wants to? Like,
there's so like if this goes down, there's so many
dominoes that are going down, and man, we can bring
back the big Dan Lintle.
Speaker 3: Uh Big Dan.
Speaker 1: He's Big Dan Lynn for sure. He just had brothers.
Speaker 3: You know, show me my w W two K roster.
Speaker 1: We will if you still if you have a direct
link to the video you make and you drop in
the discord because I want to use that to promote
this episode.
Speaker 3: But Taylor dan Lynn, is that what you're telling me?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 1: Have you ever up on the discord and I'll bring
up for this episode we'll watch a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Taylor Field.
Speaker 1: Netflix buying more brothers. We wait a bunch of scenarios.
Hoping your WiFi is good? What do you think? Uh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So my biggest beef with Netflix is them cracking
down the account sharing. I fucking hate that. You know you, uh,
you pay more of service and you share, you share
it with the family.
Speaker 1: Should illegally street share with people?
Speaker 2: There's a pirate man't I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't trade in company tattoo.
Speaker 1: That's sorry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't share it anymore because they fucking lock
you out of the account unless you sign back into
your home Wi fi.
Speaker 5: Right, that's how they get you.
Speaker 4: I think I just paid for the adversion now because
originally I was paying like it was like twenty thirty
bucks a month or whatever, and I thought, you know what,
I don't need this, and I cancel it for a
little bit because it.
Speaker 5: Was just bothering me a lot of Netflix stuff. I
felt like it was just trash TV, all these different.
Speaker 1: Tool you pick, you pick what you watched.
Speaker 4: But it bothers me because sports Madison.
Speaker 5: I'll watch some of these shows.
Speaker 4: I'll walk by and I just stand there and I
just like, you know, the shining He's just like.
Speaker 2: You're just Jack Torrens watching watch shows.
Speaker 1: In their enjoying shows and thinking about doing the memories,
bring back memories, bringing back your I won't forget you, buddy.
Speaker 3: I picture up more like this.
Speaker 1: There's gonna one day sign on this cast. But yeah, Netflix,
maybe my wife like, I just don't like their practices
right now. You know, I just don't like what they're
doing here.
Speaker 4: But you know, I think at this point with with
them getting all of this content, that's that's absolutely like crazy.
It's bunkers to think about everything. They've just kind of
absorbed to the umbrella, and uh, it's it's a big
shaft to the people that work in movie theaters because
if they don't put their movies into the theaters and
they're you know, making they're taking away jobs. You know,
they're getting people fired, they're closing theaters down.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, there will be tons of people that lose their
job because of because of this.
Speaker 3: So and I think.
Speaker 1: Because I could not directly him, but you know, he
seemed to be a part of it.
Speaker 4: The Lake correct me for wrong. So they could just
right now, they could squash Batman Part two. They could
squash change right now, Universe.
Speaker 1: You like this purchase, so it might not even go through. Yeah,
so technically they have to, Like I agree with you,
it's going through unless unless the scenario people paint out
that Trump does block it because he is like the people.
Speaker 2: Yes, literally, he would walk crazy. That that's possible.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's why people think things are really fucked
up right now, Wait when it comes calm down. If
you see what's going on, you know, instead of just
watching Netflix, you.
Speaker 3: Know, they are going out of their way to fuck
me that energy right now.
Speaker 1: Literally. Yeah. The quote for this, another quote is they're
entering an exclusive. I don't know what this means. Netflix
is offering a thirty dollars per share, which I know,
and then a billion break up fee. Sure, but the
sales notet finalized, as the US Department of Justice could
also interfere due to anti trust concerns, and a lot
of those people are very closely associated with Trump. Now
tons of people have thought, Okay, this rumor of they're
gonna block it and they're just gonna let parent, Like
there was a rumor like no matter who gets this,
they're gonna block and till Paramount gets that. People don't
know Is that a truth that Trump and would do that,
or is that just people in Paramount putting that out
like Hey, I don't even think you should bid on
it because I don't think I don't think you'd even
get it. They even kind of said that today where
it's like, well all the red tape, you'd have to
go through this stuff, like I don't think it's worth it.
So we are gonna find out now is and that's
what's gonna happen. Is literally we could see a situation
where Trump and his buddies block this and then his
fucking French just end up with it, or maybe Warren
Brothers will be like, fuck you, we're not doing that.
I don't know because they still have to agree to
a sale, but that has been something flowed out because
they do technically have the power to do. He has
a power to do said thing, you know Russia.
Speaker 4: So a breakup fee also for to his determination. Fee
is a penalty that is typically paid out in mergers
and acquisitions if the seller backs out of the deal.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, they didn't. It's nice they put that in there.
But Netflix isn't backing out. I don't think they're going
to go through this.
Speaker 4: You know, it seems like Paramount reportedly offered five billion
dollar breakup fee if Warner Brothers acquisition.
Speaker 5: Deal fails to close with them, I think.
Speaker 1: Is what it's okay, so they just counter offer. But
I would say Taylor would probably like the Batman's gonna film, right,
but to your point, and I don't think they would
do this, but fucking back girl, right, bat Girls being
made by the old owners. And then yeah, and then
like we're gonna get rid of that.
Speaker 2: We're out there right like there is a situation that
we might be able to see that content, well it
leaked some way shape or Trump possible to see it.
It's gonna be like a national treasure situation. Paramount gets
his hands on the on that film, well that's.
Speaker 5: Paramount buys it.
Speaker 4: Then Trump will be like, hey, you know, can you
I want Rush Hour four and I want that girl.
Speaker 3: I got the original comedy of background.
Speaker 1: It's so good, I'd be wanting to back Girl my
whole life, you know. So what they would have to
do is, because the director has said, because they got
asked if like could they pull up like a Snyder
cut situation, they woke up or were told the news
that the back Girl thing was happening, and then they
went to their lot to get the footage, and Warner
Brothers already removed the footage digitally from there like their access.
They couldn't even access own footage, they think so because now.
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers is owned by Netflix or Netflix has their
myths on that.
Speaker 1: But what they have to do though, because they wrote
it off, you would have to buy back the footage
from the right off. And I don't know how much
that is, but that's how you'd.
Speaker 2: Have to have to pay a fee to like the
fucking Treasury of yeah.
Speaker 1: The government. Yeah, because technically it was like a business thing,
right like, okay, we'll give you, let's say it's a
million dollars, We'll give you a million dollars because you
didn't actually put up back Girl and it was whatever X,
Y and Z, you'd have to pay whatever that amount
is back to get back Girl back, so you'd have
to pay it, and I don't think that's ever gonna happen.
So text you're going to.
Speaker 2: Pay it out of pocket?
Speaker 1: Well that's yeah, that that's He's like, you have to
that's we sat Nelson. Guys. The only way il backus
if you give me that Backdrom movie.
Speaker 2: You know he was in tears when you watched it.
It was just the perfect movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so and Tay. Everybody asked like, how long does
it go through? We don't know because, like I remember,
I'm trying to think when did Fox get bought by Disney?
Fox bought by Disney? That was like twenty eighteen, because
we did that cast before, so twenty nineteen. Okay, hang on,
and I'm trying to see you in the bin. It
got finalized March two or twenty nineteen twenty Okay, here
you go. Listen.
Speaker 2: Nineteen twenty, like COVID year is when that happened.
Speaker 1: So sorry, just nineteen here it is. The deal was
announced twenty seventeen. It wasn't finalized till twenty nineteen, so
with that in perspective, it took two years. So right now,
if we're December twenty twenty five by two. By December
twenty twenty seven, the Batman Part two will hopefully be out,
So Matt Reeves, no more fucking delays. We gotta get
the shit done. We gotta get the shit done. But
like I said, this untress told you, it's crazy how
with at Reeves, we didn't know about that. In three,
same thing, James Gun's gonna go make Man of Tomorrow
like Superman two. He has no idea if he's gonna
do another Superman the Peacemaker. Like that's more than even
Matt Reeves. I would love to because we joke about James,
but I think James Benn actually a good guy. I
liked them. I'd like to love the majority of his work.
I would love to be a fucking eye on the
a fly on the wall right now and Jennifer in
his bedroom not to watch anything that just like as
they're going to bed tonight, like just like literally as
they're about to go to bed, you're getting text or
notifications of like, yeah, Netflix's bund It's like and it's
like that must be crazy, right because he's not even
been running d C stuos that long. It's been like
two three years and it's like it just started. This
is like literally just started this year, right, Yeah, but
that was different. He was trying to take over DC.
He wasn't actually getting d C. He just like positioning
himself and then they gave the job to gun. I
think he thought he was getting DC. But it's crazy
how again, where we got super you can feel the Mana.
You can feel the Mana. He was saying his ass
off on his pitch. You just feel the Monica. But uh,
that's the thing where and I've said this before too,
I don't think if they don't do the DCU, I
think from now on you just do solo movies. I
don't think you can. I don't think DC would survive
another like universe reboot right now, Like imagine that, Like
we just got cornspind Company, and then three years later
it's like, here's Jacob ALORDI to show me a Superman.
It's like, but we just got like another new Superman.
Like I that's why I feel like to me because
next year we've got clay Face and Supergirl and maybe
I'll sell you guys this too. Let's say this goes
through and he got Dan Lynn, you get other people
do you think it is like an immediate like a
back roll, that's that we're cutting stuff and we're changing
stuff here we go. Or do you think you kind
of let and see things how they play, because you've
got clay Face, you got Supergirl, you got manatorial even
got The Batman Part two? Like what do you think
is gonna awesome? We have no idea what these billionaires
would do, But Kirk, what do you what do you
think could be the method we might see if Netflix
gets it and that we have a whole universe cooking
right now, like for the current Yeah, yeah, all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I think we ride it out like it's not like
it's super unsuccessful and like bombing right, Like okay, let's
rite this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Man's still in the top ten movie of the.
Speaker 2: Year, absolutely, and like just just like the names that
go along with those ips, like that's just big content
that they would have their little mits on. It's like
not so much. Okay, let's let's let's cancel this, but
like let's just how can we juice this even more?
I could also see you just on Netflix, well like
maybe more I don't know, animated stuff on Netflix right
like that that could fit really well, or just other
TV shows that could come out of that universe. I
I don't know, Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I feel
like we could get like a lot more, just like
characters that aren't in like the main front, Like I
don't even know who i'd pull, but just like more
avenues to get time, like like the Yeah, like the
Cape Crusader or the Adoptions of Bruce Wayne. We get
a whole series on that.
Speaker 1: Who knows because anime animation or anime candy Well on Netflix?
Right you were talking about Cane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like CA's phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Oh so you gotta. I still think there's a little
bit of like a Superherol fatiguing right now, but if
you can make the good content, it would be there.
What do you think the breakoff point is? Do you
think it's like, uh, do you think like they look
at it on Universe stuff? Yeah? Like do you think
Superherol and Clay Face next year come on, like, oh
it's based off that? Or do you think it's like,
let's at least wait till Superman two? Because to me,
that's what I would be like if it was plopped
down to me, I'd be like, see a man up
tomorrow does first and then go from there, right because
like that underwhelms. Yeah, because that underwhelms. Like I can say, Okay,
maybe make some change, or maybe you can say, hey,
Gun's not the guy, right cause I'm somebody that said, like,
I'm really hoping Supergirl and clay Face aren't the same
type of vibe as his other stuff because I haven't
been loving his DC stuff, right So, and I do
think one thing that's super like curious and it's gonna
be really interesting to see. Is we always joked about
what zazz Off and Gun and Reeves? Now when you
have Superman two and you have Batman two come out
the same year. Man, I'm not saying Matt Reeves would
be like the DC Studios guy, but the pendulum swinging
one way or another, like just not even that, just
the idea of what happens.
Speaker 2: At the dropping when he gets that promotion.
Speaker 1: What give is he dropping?
Speaker 2: Is using John Cen a Bone and Jennifer Holland and Peacemaker.
Speaker 1: No, he's using an actual picture of Robert and Zoe
on the batcavee.
Speaker 2: The forgotten footage that every thought and.
Speaker 1: He's like exclusively at Netflix this Friday, see the sex tape. No,
I think I mean it more than a sense that
I don't think he would get that job. I think
they do a sense where hey, they sit gun down,
they go, Hey, the DCU is not happening. We're just
gonna do the old dc where it's like solo films,
but breeves you can do whatever you want Batman, you know,
Like that's the scenario. And in then, I don't know,
maybe Superman beats Batman. I really don't know, but that
puts their relationship and the whole thing in a very
very interesting spot. Now with those movies coming out within
months of each other, and that would be two years
from now if if it fall, it could be even sooner.
But let's say it fall that trajectory, that could be
the similar time or right when Warner Bros. But to
be bought by Netflix. It's like, these movies are out
and I don't know Man again, like who knows what?
Like Big Dan Lind's a guy that fucking apparently on
the Netflix when they had like a summer or Christmas
party or something, they had a video just to talk
about all of Netflix's big wins of the year, and
they used a fucking AI Christopher Nolan voice to narrate
the video, and this was a video that Dan Linn
helped produce and everything like that, So it's same thing.
Fuck me, we're gonna get fucking Ai slot Batman stuff.
But uh taya before I pring up this Dan lin video?
What do you think about that? As far as Netflix
gets them? What do you do with these universes? Do
you think they would kind of run right away? Do
you think they'd wait and see a mixture of two?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What do you say? Because, like I said, Matt Reeves
obviously Batman in twenty twenty seven, and DC right now
has Supergirl clay Face and then the year after manatomore
that's the current slate.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness. Uh, I think you let it run for.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 5: I really do.
Speaker 1: There's there's no.
Speaker 4: There's no marketed advantage or financial gain to just axing
it right now and spending all the money on restarting everything.
You're gonna you're the James Gunn has created a pretty
good brand right now with with you know, or not
created a brand, He's revived a brand a little bit
with DC. Uh So I think run with us a
little bit and just kind of maybe support him because
he is pretty good at what he's doing, and the
numbers show that, Like, people are definitely invested in this
universe that he's creating. So run with that. DC is
not the only thing that they have. There's a few
other things that they can look into if they want
to reset something, put your money into something else that
you want to focus on. I mean, you got Harry
Potter too, that's going to be huge and so on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I don't care whatever, but I don't care what people
say when I don't get me wrong. Fuck jk Rown,
fuck all that stuff. I've said this before. I know
some people won't watch. Would people say it's not going
to be a hit. There's no fucking way, especially now
Harry Potter's on fucking Netflix. If that were to happen,
front page that things watch just like to.
Speaker 2: Watching Madison, watch it and just pissed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're putting the Stranger Things finale like in
theaters and there's like, oh, Harry Potter finale in theaters,
like fuck, that'd be really cool.
Speaker 5: You know, like who knows.
Speaker 1: Let need that I've been there, we were there before already.
You know, that's that's the same thing, you know.
Speaker 4: So but yeah, there's just there's a lot of different
advantages here and just certain things that they don't need
to necessarily touch right away. Let it be, let them
do do its thing. There's a point I was gonna
make two.
Speaker 1: Let me just quickly look up while you're thinking Warner
Brothers ip and also because that's s Pubbs, you're in
the chat, well to think about this. But it's super crazy.
We'll talk about this on the Gimmick in a couple
of weeks. That WW is currently on Netflix and aw's
partner is Warner Brothers, so that makes things even for
the Gimmick wise, the two competing companies are now owned
by like two shoo, their shows are owned by the
same companies. It's like who knows, Like what the fuck
happens there? Like this is like a huge like ripple
through just many things, not even just like the companies
we talked about in here. It's like other stuff.
Speaker 4: But go ahead, Well it's amazing because you think about
all the Game of Throne stuff too.
Speaker 1: Right, like that right that would be on Netflix.
Speaker 4: Now on Netflix, and that's yeah one, So I mean,
who knows. Maybe they're like maybe like Hey, we're gonna
give you a real season eight.
Speaker 5: You know, fuck who knows?
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: That's what I think about that one.
Speaker 5: There's a whole plusthora of possibility.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, penny Wise, welcome to the Dairy seasons
you know, five, six, seven?
Speaker 5: Who knows they one to do more? Yeah, last of Us?
They keep it going. I mean, holy shit, like you'll
get that scene the ad we.
Speaker 1: Heard versus once and whatnot. I'm trying to find like,
is this just comic books.
Speaker 2: There's so many more projects that I feel like I'm
forgetting about doing right.
Speaker 1: Well, Dune, we didn't even think about this fucking Lord
of the Rings and they're making more Lower the Rings. Yeah,
they're making.
Speaker 2: More than what they did with More of the Row Hero,
Like just more projects like that. That just feels like
a Netflix type show, whether it's like Castlevania. I'm trying
to get this they do.
Speaker 5: What's the what's the differential here with with Prime?
Speaker 1: Does that work again with women Prime? Well, because they
owned different books, remember they own different But what happened
was that fucking Embrace or group bought Warner bro or
brought Lord of the Rings. But then they're like well,
we don't know what to do with this, so they
just partner with Warner Brothers to distribute those films that
make them pretty much right, But like even then does Friends.
Speaker 2: Technically Camelots common right there? Forty weeks ago? Fucking loose,
it's not even with anymore.
Speaker 1: This is a bad list because like, like they have
like the Elf up there. It's like, I love Elf,
but it's like but scuubay is already going on Netflix
as far as something like that, So yeah, that's it's
gonna be a massive change and ripple. This happens like
either way, but the fact that's actually happening now is
is nuts. Let me reshare this video then we'll get
to the other news here. Uh tya, was that was
what you're thinking of? Was the Game of Thrones that
you're gonna bring up with?
Speaker 4: I can't remember?
Speaker 1: It's okay, So here's something that we talk This is
what we talked about when uh uh Dan Lynn was
interviewing and he was remember now, yes, that's the other
thing that they do need is they need some guy
to get up there at Comic Con, fan or whatever
and be the the face of it all. Like we've
talked about ahead.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what's Dan Lynn's thing, Like if
he's got the hats, is he just like wearing like
fan packs or something.
Speaker 1: Belts he's like crowds. Yeah, Like if there's like a heckler,
he just takes it off and like fucking strikes him
in the face.
Speaker 2: It's like a fifty like grand.
Speaker 1: Like like a rapper or something. Yeah, thats what I
spend my pay check on. It's like you're producing the
movies fan and stuff like my dick I run nor
fuck Snyder, and the.
Speaker 4: Reminded me.
Speaker 2: I know those crazynder fans would have come after you
at some point, still.
Speaker 1: Coming after me, so I will. I think there's another.
Speaker 5: Part, like we're in the conversation with these ladies, you.
Speaker 1: Know you are pretty much really like they're part of
the show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're just talking asking questions to Dan.
Speaker 2: Oh Dan, you know your current we're talking to our
previous selves, tripping me out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. See Dan secretly has his own some shout to
ask pus.
Speaker 2: In so check a dead Robin tattoo or this is
that was Jared.
Speaker 1: Let's joker it is. I don't think you can see it's.
Speaker 2: Like his shoulder like his collar boner. Oh no, to
left on the bicep, his right bicep. This was a
dead robin his right bicep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see it. I see it now. Yeah, but yeah,
I know you can go back and listen to that
whole thing. This was a good time. So that's what
thinks for just looking through like all this stuff, what
does these happen?
Speaker 3: Huge?

fun and a great video. So yeah, check out our discord.
