Being Critical of Celebrities and Supporting Workers in Hollywood
In this episode, we delve into the importance of being critical of the media we consume and the people behind it. We discuss the problematic connections of Gal Gadot and the film "Sound of Freedom" to conspiracy theories and harmful ideologies, emphasizing the need to hold celebrities accountable for their actions.
Furthermore, we highlight the positive step taken by VFX artists in unionizing, advocating for fair treatment and improved working conditions in the industry. We applaud their efforts and hope that other workers in Hollywood will follow suit.
Additionally, we share the excitement surrounding the 4K re-release of the beloved film "Oldboy" and its upcoming theatrical run. This news is sure to delight fans of the original movie.
Ultimately, we emphasize the importance of being critical consumers of media and supporting initiatives that aim to improve working conditions in the industry. By doing so, we can contribute to a more ethical and inclusive entertainment landscape.
Speculating on a Potential Disney-Apple Merger
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the possibility of a future merger between two entertainment giants: Disney and Apple. With Apple's recent acquisition of MGM Studios and its focus on expanding its streaming platform, Apple TV+, the idea of Apple becoming a potential buyer for Disney gains traction.
However, we acknowledge that there are numerous factors to consider, including regulatory hurdles and the potential involvement of other companies in the bidding process. While a Disney-Apple merger remains speculative at this point, we present the idea as a plausible scenario.
Join us as we delve into the potential implications and possibilities of such a merger, and consider the potential impact on the entertainment industry as a whole.
