So, I mean, this would have been all hands on deck of the most talented people or managers at Netflix trying to figure out how to incorporate, how to like...

how to get Frankenstein to move into your house and get along with your three kids who are, you know, you know, Frank is different and he's going to be a big presence here.

And if it doesn't work, the whole household is going to come down.

So the parents, you know, the babysitters, the grandparents, everybody was going to be focused on wrong metaphor here on how to integrate Frank.

And now

It's just gonna be a lot of fun to say to Bella Bajaria, who's arguably one of the better content minds in all of Hollywood, we just freed up a lot of money.

What are your ideas here?

So let's go through the losers.

I think first and foremost, the biggest loser is the creative community.

This combined company, they have paid so much for these two companies.

When I say they, the Ellisons for Paramount and now Warner Brothers,

There's no vision that's going to increase revenues to the extent to justify these prices they paid.

They are going to have to focus on the expense side.

Larry Ellison is one of the biggest players in AI.

I think I use the analogy in the first Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi is on the Millennium Falcon and has to sit down because he feels a disturbance in the force.

And that disturbance is that millions of people died in an instant when Darth Vader orders the Death Star to destroy the planet Alderaan.

And he said he hears a scream and then nothing.

I think last night when this deal, when Netflix walked, I think you heard a scream from millions in the creative community that they're just, the unions, WGA and SAG-AFTRA are literally too fucking stupid to realize what just happened.

Ted was a Jedi.

So say what you want.
