Yeah. And to clarify that, that those orders weren't coming from HBO. They were coming from absolutely, which was Tim and Eric's production company. It wasn't HBO. We didn't even really come into contact with them until three months before the movie was like, you know, going to be released. They were just like, this is great. HBO was great to work with the entire time. They still are.

You know what I mean? But it was more of the studios that funded the film were very concerned about being seen as being on the wrong side of history. Ironically, if you were to look back at This Place Rules, even if you were to look back at it without the editorial notes, you would say this is a strongly anti-January 6th movie.

There was so much, like you said, so much press around it. And there was a lot of posturing as to who was going to make the most elite hit piece about that.

Well, politically we're a bit different. Like they're more liberals and I'm more of like a leftist, if that makes sense.

I don't, I don't believe that you need to necessarily editorialize or like it's punch down on a lot of conservative people who have been kind of caught up in the political propaganda of the day. I felt like they, and they were okay to work with, but it was more like they felt like we had to draw an extreme line in the sand, like denounce Alex Jones before showing him on camera.

I'm like, I think it's enough to, you know, drink Jameson shirtless and have him say a bunch of crazy stuff. I don't think you need to add in this like mean spirited jab, but that's just, it's also a generational gap too. Sure. You know, because there was this idea of, I think around 2016, that if you censor people online and if you limit the spread of their voice, their ideas will go away.

And you saw that a lot of early censorship on Facebook and Twitter when it was a Jack Dorsey company. It was like, all right, a lot of these flat earthers, these QAnon people, the Trump crowd, we're going to push them gradually off these platforms in the hopes that their movement will become smaller.

But what it actually did is it moved them into more concentrated, tight echo chambers only amongst each other. And that created, we're kind of paying for those mistakes now. I totally agree with you.
