This May Signal the Official Decline of Hollywood...

Netflix Officially Buys Warner Bros. Discovery
for a reported $83 BILLION, and it will change Hollywood forever...
Exploring the ramifications of Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros., and examining its potential impact on theatrical releases and movie quality. These videos analyze the shift in Hollywood's priorities and the changing landscape of film distribution.

How D.E.I. and Stakeholder capitalism 
caused Entertainment’s Downfall...
On October 29th, Sony confirmed that Concord would be sunset forever, and Firewalk studios shut down, thus becoming the latest in a long string of DEI gone wrong horror stories, which also includes Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and so much more. But what is DEI, how does it connect to Stakeholder Capitalism as well as with ESG and its derivates, and why are these so bad for not just entertainment, but anything else they’re applied to?

ANIME is CRUSHING Hollywood!

Fans Fed Up With Woke Are Fleeing
to JAPAN For Their Entertainment!
As Doctor Who triples down on wokeness, driving away any Whovians who remained after The Timeless Children by promising the new season with Ncuti Gatwa will be the MOSTEST Woke EVAR, Anime is stealing viewers and profits away from Hollywood! In this exclusive report from my Hollywood spies, we make the case that this mass defection to Japanese anime entertainment is yet another sign that, despite all the destruction of our beloved franchises, we are winning the war against these cultural vandals, and anime is one way we're outlasting them as they burn their own business to the ground!

The Collapse of Star Wars, Star Trek & Doctor Who

How Social Justice and
Woke-ness Have DAMAGED Hollywood and Pop Culture (and they blame YOU)
In the last few years, we have witnessed the implosion of some previously very popular entertainment franchises, franchises that go back decades, and have become institutions in their own right. Institutions like Star Trek. Star Wars. And Doctor Who, the most recent to implode. On February 14th, the BBC, home of Doctor who, put out an article which pointed out the rising influence of fans, all while bemoaning what they call “fan entitlement”. But after fans really the entitled ones? In the aftermath of the destruction of Doctor Who, @AndreEinherjar will go through this article, and give his response to the accusation that fans somehow are the entitled ones.
Yes, but no one asked for this. Dr. Who viewership is at its lowest.
