I don't know how to verify.

How does somebody get an offer for $10 million before they've put pen to paper?

Yeah, there's something interesting about the timing of the release of the primetime trailer, too, that is correlated to all of this stuff.

Three years ago, I had Lance Oppenheim on the show for a series of, to talk about the documentaries that he's been making for the last seven or eight years.

He was 27 then.

He's 30 now.

He's ancient by comparison to Kane, but he's also incredibly young and is making, his movie is also about

Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator and played by Robert Pattinson and screens and the way that they influence us and the kind of like, I would say, manufactured reality of nonfiction television in a way, which kind of intersects with all of these other things that we're talking about here and YouTube and what's real and what's not real.

And I'm just feeling very buoyant about the future of movies that I feel like there is like...

the cavalry is, like, kind of on the way here.

And we still have, like, Denny Villeneuve and Nolan and, you know, Greta Gerwig, all these, like...

iconic brand name figures.

There's a Spielberg movie coming out in a couple of weeks.

Like all that stuff is still happening.

It's great.

And it's going to probably be the primary focus of this show as long as we're doing it.

But I actually do kind of feel like something for real is happening where there's like, it's not three people.

It's now like nine people who have made widely distributed films who were born out of this experience, which is very different than I went to USC film school and then I made a short film and then that short film played at a film festival and

And then I made an independently made film and that film played at a film festival and it was acquired by a streamer.

And now I'm trying to make my $100 million IP movie.
