Transcript 0:00 · hi you guys hi 0:02 · Avengers as a celebrity I know all about 0:06 · stuff I I think comma Harris needs a 0:09 · catchphrase like science and politics 0:12 · They Don't Really respect you they laugh 0:14 · at you behind your back they think 0:16 · you're stupid so trust me when I tell 0:19 · you who you should vote for kamla Harris 0:23 · will protect your right to disagree with 0:26 · her if you don't vote the right way it's 0:28 · like a hate crime that make me sad and 0:31 · angry and I'll leave the country you 0:33 · don't want 0:35 · that nero.com greetings you over 1 0:39 · million Helens and the 40% who haven't 0:41 · subscribed yet listen do you smell 0:44 · something that's the breaking Winds of 0:46 · Change in Hollywood and as Tinsel Town 0:48 · looks down at the fiery but mostly 0:50 · peaceful disaster of their own making 0:52 · I'm reminded it's been 4 years since 0:54 · Hollywood's first shut down where in 0:56 · truth they were deemed essential over 0:58 · millions of their fellow California Ians 1:00 · and allowed to work and they use that 1:01 · time to make a lot of bad films and 1:03 · streaming content rude on the riots from 1:05 · the comfort of their $6 million mansion 1:07 · saying things like enough white comfort 1:09 · and no jar jar Abrams I'm not going to 1:11 · let that one go they complained about a 1:13 · president who wasn't in office for 4 1:15 · years the entire industry became the 1:16 · mouthpiece of fizer shaming people over 1:18 · the jab and generally alienating half 1:21 · the country screw your freedom and it 1:23 · all might have worked out for him 1:24 · unfortunately all of those non-essential 1:27 · people are the ones who actually buy 1:28 · tickets then sometime later later they 1:30 · decided to follow that up with a strike 1:32 · shutting down their industry for the 1:33 · second time in 4 years I seem to recall 1:35 · a precious few people within your 1:37 · industry and a hell of a lot of people 1:38 · outside it including some guys and gals 1:40 · recording videos in their spare bedrooms 1:42 · warning you that this might not be a 1:44 · good idea and now that we're a year past 1:46 · the end of the strike it turns out it 1:48 · wasn't a good idea who could have seen 1:50 · this coming ultimately it wasn't a smart 1:52 · move as a riter to go on strike asking 1:54 · for more money during the year of the 1:56 · Flop Buster turns out it was Ill advised 1:58 · to vote to stop working after the 2:00 · streaming Bubble Burst turns out it was 2:02 · flat out stupid to go on strike after an 2:06 · entire industry broke its business model 2:08 · ticket sales and theaters are down 30 to 2:11 · 40% and the core of your industry the 2:13 · Legacy Hollywood studios are largely in 2:16 · debt and while all this was going on 2:17 · adult Pretenders in Hollywood found new 2:19 · and unique ways to drive off the paying 2:21 · customer that reminds me a lot of us 2:23 · were saying just because Hollywood stops 2:25 · doesn't mean the world does and the 2:27 · worst case scenario actually happened 2:29 · that audience you've been alienating has 2:31 · become the competition I also seem to 2:33 · recall a few of us stating that this 2:35 · strike would end up being a purge 2:37 · leading to mergers Acquisitions 2:40 · Outsourcing layoffs and shrinkage I was 2:43 · in the pool and now we're in a timeline 2:45 · where I agree with John campia the 2:47 · gravestone will say here lies the movieo 2:50 · industry death by Suicide cuz they're 2:52 · [ __ ] killing 2:54 · themselves and while John and I will vly 2:56 · disagree on what led up to tinsel toown 2:58 · self- deltion it doesn't doesn't change 3:00 · the fact that Hollywood is fleeing woke 3:02 · Hollywood and droves and you don't have 3:04 · to take my word for it these are access 3:05 · media headlines from just the last month 3:08 · why Los Angeles is becoming a production 3:10 · graveyard La production plunged 20% in 3:12 · 2023 new film La report finds why 3:16 · streaming content could be Hollywood's 3:18 · final Act Hollywood is dead according to 3:20 · Justine baitman here's what comes next 3:23 · baitman argues the emotional and 3:24 · financial scaffolding necessary to 3:26 · support film business is gone in its 3:29 · place we have something of a conveyor 3:31 · belt churning out content you know 3:33 · Hollywood running to the guy who created 3:35 · the business environment that theirs is 3:36 · failing in is probably not the best 3:38 · strategy aside from the fact that it's 3:40 · going to be a tough sell even to the 3:42 · general populace of California 3:43 · considering all their problems to 3:45 · subsidize professional make belief the 3:48 · question is what rules are these 3:50 · subsidies and tax credits going to come 3:52 · with well that was already answered a 3:54 · year ago from March 1st of last year 3:56 · California's film tax credit aims to 3:59 · punish projects that don't hit diversity 4:01 · goals and there it is the underlying 4:04 · Foundation of many of Hollywood's 4:06 · current problems something the access 4:08 · media won't mention but I will their 4:10 · slavish adherence to the message 4:12 · imposing written and Unwritten rules on 4:14 · themselves in the name of diversity 4:16 · which is truly just exclusion and it's 4:18 · antithetical to all creativity turning 4:20 · an industry that used to produce some 4:22 · pretty good stuff that would 4:23 · occasionally entertain you and make you 4:25 · think into a platform for propaganda and 4:28 · content particularly with with pop 4:30 · culture and genre permeated with people 4:32 · telling you what to think although their 4:34 · attitude will be we're not telling 4:36 · people what to think we're just trying 4:38 · to show them how and now Hollywood finds 4:40 · themselves in a bit of a pickle after 4:42 · going through all that Strife they come 4:44 · out the other end on an election year 4:46 · and the question I had earlier in the 4:47 · year was would Hollywood sit this one 4:49 · out considering all the overall damage 4:51 · to their brand I was getting concerned 4:53 · that we wouldn't get a cringe inducing 4:55 · adult Pretender video better late than 4:58 · never hi hi you guys hi 5:01 · Avengers jumping on the call whoa whoa 5:04 · whoa I think you mean 5:06 · assembling yeah how can we be a service 5:09 · how about we start with h what our 5:10 · voting plans are going to be who we're 5:12 · going to bring to the polls with us that 5:13 · sort of thing just I I think KLA Harris 5:16 · needs a catchphrase oo yes definitely a 5:19 · catchphrase how about this I'm just off 5:22 · the top of my head I can do this all day 5:25 · shut up I hate it okay how about I'm 5:28 · down with democracy clean simple okay I 5:31 · like that it's hard to argue with that 5:33 · kamla Harris down with democracy I don't 5:36 · know if that sounds the way we want it 5:37 · to sound though I think we just need can 5:39 · we get some production though Jarvis my 5:41 · name's not Jarvis but 5:43 · whatever I'm kamla Harris and I am down 5:47 · with 5:50 · democracy you know nothing says reaching 5:53 · out and connecting with the common man 5:55 · like an adult Pretender who was 5:56 · essentially a professional liar who 5:58 · reads and interprets other people's 6:00 · words for a living coming down from 6:01 · their Ivory Towers to read and interpret 6:04 · a poorly written script to tell you how 6:06 · to vote in a badly edited Zoom video I'd 6:08 · also like to point out that they went to 6:10 · the OG team you don't see any new 6:12 · Avengers in that video where's C mulu 6:14 · where's Brie Larson and prior to that 6:16 · the Batman himself Michael Keaton came 6:18 · out with this Banger you know for some 6:20 · of you folks who uh guys mostly I guess 6:23 · who are thinking about attending a rally 6:25 · with musk and and and Trump They Don't 6:28 · Really respect you they laugh at you 6:30 · behind your back they think you're 6:32 · stupid they don't want to hang out with 6:35 · you they have nothing in common with you 6:37 · they're not your Bros they have no 6:40 · respect for you trust me let me get this 6:42 · straight an adult Pretender is telling 6:43 · us not to vote for somebody because they 6:45 · wouldn't hang out with us and they think 6:46 · we're stupid coming from a guy who 6:48 · wouldn't give us the time a day and 6:49 · thinks we're stupid and then there's 6:51 · Harrison 6:52 · Ford the truth is 6:55 · this kamla Harris will I don't care and 6:58 · if you ever wonder what killed the movie 7:00 · star well thanks to social media we got 7:02 · to know them the latest example of that 7:04 · you probably didn't know a Tom Hanks 7:05 · film flopped this weekend but this is 7:07 · balanced out by the very controversial 7:10 · statements from Zachary Levi calling for 7:13 · balance I I don't think it's accurate to 7:17 · say that somehow Hollywood is both a 7:20 · liberal and a conservative Town back in 7:22 · the day there might have been a bit more 7:24 · of a balance you know but you really 7:27 · have to be at a certain level of your 7:28 · career in order to get away with it uh 7:31 · number one but number two that was also 7:34 · back then and I think naming just John 7:37 · vo and Dennis Quaid of the thousands of 7:41 · actors in Hollywood that you could only 7:43 · name two I think actually speaks to that 7:46 · and what that means is there's plenty 7:48 · and by the way they have sent me lots of 7:49 · messages plenty of of people in my 7:51 · industry in Hollywood that are terrified 7:54 · to publicly say that they would vote for 7:56 · Donald Trump or be conservative in any 7:58 · way that's why you don't see them that's 8:00 · why they're not very prevalent or 8:02 · prominent because they know that there's 8:04 · ramifications for this kind of y'all are 8:07 · industry is going to be [ __ ] Gonzo 8:10 · like it's it already is we're getting 8:12 · we're getting eroded the the the the 8:15 · pandemic and the strikes and all of 8:17 · these things they've already eroded it 8:18 · so much my cry to all of you out there 8:22 · you closeted 8:24 · conservatives closeted uh Trump voters 8:27 · y'all it's now or never if what you're 8:28 · afraid of is somehow the backlash of an 8:30 · industry that's not going to exist very 8:32 · soon don't let that hold you back fully 8:34 · acknowledging Zachary Levi coming out 8:36 · and making the statement is far more 8:38 · ballsy than any of his comrades in 8:40 · Hollywood we have to remember that the 8:42 · celebrity endorsement is not going to 8:45 · stop I find it far more disturbing that 8:48 · it would actually sway a vote and I 8:49 · think the biggest takeaway is what he 8:50 · said towards the end if you work in 8:52 · Hollywood don't concern yourself with 8:54 · the backlash of an industry that's not 8:55 · going to exist and again this isn't just 8:58 · some hyperb coming from YouTube or 9:01 · social media this is coming from within 9:03 · the industry Sony Pictures Entertainment 9:05 · CEO Tony Vince quera warned that the 9:06 · deals made with major labor unions are 9:09 · suppressing domestic production the 9:11 · contract terms are forcing Productions 9:13 · out of the US now the air has come out 9:15 · of the content bubble says Matthew 9:16 · balani founder of entertainment industry 9:18 · title Puck news crisis is a good word I 9:21 · try not to be alarmist but crisis is 9:23 · what people are feeling and many of us 9:25 · said that the hardest hit during the 9:26 · strikes would be the working class in 9:28 · Hollywood and that's exactly what 9:30 · happened the losers Film LA noted are 9:32 · rank in file industry workers according 9:34 · to the 2024 otus College report on the 9:36 · creative economy 27% of the nation's 9:38 · domestic film and TV Workforce resides 9:41 · in Greater Los Angeles given these 9:42 · workers heavy dependence on local film 9:44 · making reduced project output raises 9:47 · significant concerns and I think this 9:49 · one almost sums it up other Hollywood 9:51 · vets lament that La is simply no longer 9:53 · a film friendly Hub I would argue that 9:56 · La is no longer a humanfriendly hub it's 9:59 · not any one thing it's Death By A 10:01 · Thousand Cuts speaking of that let's get 10:03 · to my wheelhouse and talk about some 10:04 · genre entertainment because that's where 10:06 · a lot of those cuts come from Hollywood 10:08 · has already destroyed the money pretty 10:10 · machines that were Star Wars Star Trek 10:12 · and Doctor Who just to name a few and 10:14 · they're well on their way to doing it 10:15 · with the superhero film like I said over 10:17 · the past month we've gotten a Litany of 10:19 · soul searching or Naval gazing articles 10:21 · about the destruction of Hollywood from 10:22 · the access media and this is one of them 10:24 · superhero burnout with most superhero 10:27 · movies flopping can Marvel and DC's 2025 10:30 · slate reverse the unprecedented box 10:32 · office drought and this brings up the 10:34 · dreaded superhero fatigue which is a bit 10:36 · of a chicken or the egg argument will 10:38 · people still be drawn to a superhero TV 10:41 · show or movie that's wellmade yes are 10:43 · too many poorly made superhero TV shows 10:46 · and films going to hurt Hollywood's 10:48 · bottom line as a market driver yes 10:51 · between 2015 and 2019 25 out of the 30 10:55 · superhero titles 83% took in more than 10:58 · 500 million worldwide after the pandemic 11:02 · the dynamic has flipped on its head 11:04 · since 2022 10 of the 17 superhero titles 11:08 · 59% have made less than $500 million and 11:11 · the rest of the article is essentially 11:13 · going over the things that we've 11:14 · mentioned here on this channel for years 11:16 · DC is essentially rebooting for the 11:18 · third time in a decade Sony making 11:20 · Spider-Man movies without Spider-Man is 11:22 · stupid and Marvel is oversaturated with 11:25 · crap Sony's two films this year Madam 11:28 · Webb and Venom were at least least 11:29 · unintentionally hilarious DC's had six 11:32 · flops in a row going back to last year 11:35 · and after multiple underperforming TV 11:37 · shows and films and outright flops 11:40 · Marvel finally got a hit with Deadpool 11:42 · and Wolverine and their upcoming slate 11:44 · 2025 outside of Daredevil looks at best 11:47 · Highly Questionable and at worst abysmal 11:50 · and it looks like the future of the 11:51 · superhero film hinges on two films that 11:54 · release in July of 2025 Superman and the 11:57 · Fantastic 4 there are no slam dunks here 11:59 · says exhibitor relations analyst Jeff 12:01 · boach there's still a lot of Goodwill 12:02 · for Marvel is there it's the biggest 12:05 · show in town but to think that these are 12:06 · going to do Deadpool and Wolverine 12:08 · business I don't see any of that for 12:10 · these films no I don't think a Captain 12:12 · America sequel without Captain America 12:14 · and a Thunderbolts film without any of 12:16 · the original Thunderbolts from the 12:17 · comics combined are going to get close 12:19 · to Deadpool and Wolverine I will give 12:21 · credit to DC and Disney Marvel at least 12:22 · they're trying to change that being said 12:25 · I'm far more hopeful for a James gun 12:27 · Superman over a Pedro Pascal Reed 12:29 · Richards and a female Silver Surfer 12:31 · Hollywood loves and hates the superhero 12:34 · film but much to their Chagrin it's not 12:36 · going anywhere because they don't have 12:38 · anything else still Warner Brothers and 12:40 · Disney remain steadfastly committed to 12:42 · their respective DC and Marvel slates 12:44 · well into the decade and that doesn't 12:46 · look like it will change anytime soon 12:48 · there still isn't anything to replace 12:50 · superheroes at the box office in terms 12:51 · of films with the potential to make the 12:53 · amount of money box says until we see 12:56 · some genre take over they're going to 12:58 · continue to invest in it nothing says 13:00 · Innovation like waiting around for 13:01 · something to happen the funniest bit 13:03 · though is this article from variety was 13:06 · preceded by this article just 3 weeks 13:09 · prior toxic fandom how Hollywood is 13:11 · battling fans who are just out for blood 13:14 · from social media boot camps to Super 13:16 · Fan focus groups to anyone who makes 13:18 · decisions in Hollywood who may come 13:20 · across this video if you're wondering 13:22 · what led to superhero fatigue which is 13:24 · better described as Hollywood fatigue 13:27 · and that death by a th000 paper cuts 13:29 · which includes one gaping mortal wound 13:31 · the problem has been and always will be 13:35 · you hell you guys just put out a movie 13:37 · Joker 2 that literally told the audience 13:39 · to [ __ ] off and they did and they felt 13:42 · like you've been saying that for quite 13:44 · some time and instead of possibly 13:46 · listening to your paying customer you 13:49 · decided to make him and her the enemy to 13:52 · paraphrase a quote from a good friend 13:53 · Chris Gore demonizing fandom will turn 13:57 · out to be the costliest mistake in Hol 13:59 · history and you will have to ask 14:00 · yourself collectively as an industry how 14:02 · in the hell did a few people in their 14:04 · spare bedrooms people posting on Twitter 14:06 · and Facebook and other social media 14:08 · accounts know a lot more than your 14:10 · highly paid Market analysts now the 14:12 · industry might not want to hear this but 14:14 · quite frankly the best stuff is coming 14:16 · out on streaming and I think Hollywood 14:19 · could fix most of their problems save 14:21 · for one despite having everything you 14:23 · wanted for the last four years your 14:26 · industry has failed and it's because you 14:29 · [ __ ] with the money so how do you 14:31 · reconnect with the audience when they're 14:34 · walking away silently or worse yet 14:36 · becoming the competition and no matter 14:38 · what happens this year you will be 14:40 · forced to do something that 14:42 · unfortunately thanks to your corporate 14:43 · structure you won't be able to do fast 14:45 · enough change but it's undeniable at 14:47 · this point that Tinsel Town is broken up 14:50 · and Hollywood is fleeing woke Hollywood 14:52 · in droves and that's a good thing 14:55 · nero.com 14:57 · [Music] 14:59 · if you like what you heard please like 15:00 · share and subscribe if you didn't like 15:01 · what you heard I thank you for listening 15:03 · this long I will see you in the next 15:08 · video we will hold you personally 15:12 · responsible Gary

Justine Bateman? From “Family Ties”?
TWO childhood actors on the same show who got out of their youth with their heads not completely destroyed? How’d that happen?
