A movie like The Rip, for example, with Affleck and Damon.

Hey, what's in this attic, Desi?

What's up there?

You know, do you really need to spend $200 million to get that sort of blockbuster feel?

If Warner Brothers is already doing that kind of movie and you can monetize it in theaters, you maybe don't need to do, you can make your Netflix original films more like the kissing booth.

Something that costs $20 or $30 million and still does a big audience are K-pop demon hunters.

Ah!

Well, look, in fairness, and I've covered this before, HBO has always been HBO and is still HBO and never changed, right?

But the bigger point is, does HBO survive?

Is that I feel confident in saying some form of HBO as we know it will.

The HBO that has a team that does shows like The White Lotus.

Piper, no!

Which I know you love, Sean.

Yeah.

A little birdie.

I just guessed.

This new company needs a premium brand, and they're going to get the godfather of all premium brands, no pun intended, with HBO.

And if HBO can survive the barbarians at the gate of AT&T and David Zaslav from Discovery Networks, I think they can probably survive Paramount.

David Ellison actually does like movies.

Yeah.
