So as we conclude this conversation, I can't help thinking about a modern parallel to what we're talking about here, which is the internet.

Internet comes along.

Everyone's initially filled with as much dread as enthusiasm.

And the internet obliterates entire segments of every industry.

You know, classifieds, poof.

But then comes Craigslist.

And yes, and I'm going to be very newspaper-centric for a moment.

you know, entire newspapers go away, other online news organizations adapt and thrive.

And eventually an equilibrium of a certain kind takes hold.

And isn't that inevitably the story of AI and Hollywood?

Brooks, I'm gonna give you the final word.

Right.

We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

So, Brooks and Alyssa, we've been talking a whole lot about AI today in Hollywood.

But to end this conversation, let's talk about human filmmakers for just a moment.

We're here at the beginning of 2026.

You are both movie aficionados.

Can each of you briefly tell me about the film you're most looking forward to?
