It's a really sad day for science and vaccines and immunology.
Sasha is a real eye on Hollywood and knows what she's talking about.
Thing I'll throw into the situation is that Netflix came into a pretty tough situation a few years ago with Dave Chappelle.
And at that particular point, they could have said, OK, we're going to take the Dave Chappelle special, which some deemed to be offensive off our platform.
But they stuck by him, even though there was a lot of noise and anger against him and against what he said on that particular special.
And that was a cultural moment where Netflix realized that there's money to be made by reaching out to a whole different group of audiences where you didn't have to just play to the woke crowd.
You could reach out to right of center fans and themselves.
So while I understand what Sasha Stone says about what this change will bring to Hollywood, I also think Netflix at the business level understands that they've got a lot of people to entertain and a bigger tent means more money for them.
I do mourn the potential loss of a theatrical experience.
I think when you look at the younger generation, they're wrapped up in their phones.
They're playing with their friends online with video games.
They're not actually meeting face to face.
And I think there is something lost from a cultural perspective if the theaters go away or whether they're diminished in a significant way.
You know, whether it's the mall culture where teens hang out and they talk to their friends and they flirt with girls and guys, there is something about being in the presence of other people that it seems crazy to say, but we're losing that a bit.
I mean, element of that bigger picture.
But, you know, I think to lose that would be significant.
And again, some things are inevitable.
This may be inevitable, but I don't think we should lose it or push it away lightly.
