Absolutely.
And by the way, add in a little bit of a personal element.
The head of streaming at Paramount Plus is Cindy Holland, who got fired by Ted Sarandos at Netflix.
Yes.
So they just stole the Duffer Brothers away from Netflix.
They did Stranger Things and they wanted to resign them.
And then they went over to Paramount.
Well, not for what they offered them.
They offered them movies in theaters to get them to go there.
Are the Duffer Brothers, like, directors of the kinds of movies you want to see in theaters?
Maybe.
We'll see.
They haven't ever directed one of those before.
Yes.
That is the HBO argument.
HBO makes that argument all the time that, you know, we get the greatest show out of these people.
And then if Netflix wants to overpay them to take them away, God bless, go there.
And, you know, it's like the guys that did Game of Thrones.
They got overpaid by Netflix.
And what did they do?
