This looks very much like half of the restaurants have closed, therefore the cooking guild is demanding that all remaining restaurants must double the number of cooks and let half of those also become managers.
14:38 not five cooks in the kitchen. Five lead chefs and not very good ones.
And all you need to sort it out is that one grandma who has cooked for school kids for her entire life and takes absolutely no bullshit in her kitchen. 😆
A baker that suddenly decide to only sell moldy stale bread are going to go out of business. This can be delayed somewhat if the competetiors also only sell stale moldy bread. Once someone decide to corner the fresh bread market the stale moldy bread bakeries are going to struggle to stay in business.
Hollywood has spent way too much time and money producing what the customers do not want. They will be outcompeted by those that will provide the customers with what they ask for.
> They will be outcompeted by those that will provide the customers with what they ask for.
And *who* would that be? Isn't the cost to produce a movie far too high as it stands?
@Ilyak1986 Godzilla minus one had a 15 million budget and grossed 102 worldwide. You CAN make a good movie for under 50 million. While Deadpool with a 58 million budget grossed 782 million. It can be done.
yeah thats anime for me. I haven't watched a hollywood movied. or tv in general in 10+ years
You forgot that the moldy bread maker has the mob on their side, or to put aside metaphors the banks and governments. If competition got momentum then it would be destroyed overnight.
You forgot the moldy bread has the mob on their side destroying any competition that gets momentum.
That YT won't let me say what it is without the metaphor underlines my point.
The fact that they didn't take the opportunity to find talented writers while all the wokies were on strike is where they really messed up.
It's not that they couldn't hire them. It's that the other filmmaker's guilds won't endorse them, which creates problems with the other film workers unions if you try to pull in non-union workers. They can reject work, so directors, lighting crews, food services, etc. can reject work if your site is blacklisted.
Because a writer isn't part of the guild.
This was a big problem in the 1950s and 60s with the Red Scare, because this strong-arming was rife in the early studio system in Hollywood and TV.
This is also why some producers avoid LA and film for Music videos or UA-cam clips to get around the guilds.
Why unions are trash@@Toliman.
I was watching a video from a Baseball channel called Baseball's Not Dead and in it (which talks about all the strikes the players had) the leader of the Baseball union said that they had the option to make half the players become free agents, but the leader of the union said no to it because making half the players in the league become free agents devalues the worth of individual players, making players lose money in the long term.
What I'm saying is and how this relates to the writers strike is that when they made every production have a requirement for writers, it's basically their equivalent lf making half the baseball players be free agents, thus in the long term devaluing the worth of individual writers. Which just shows the competency (or lack thereof) of the writers union.
The writer’s guild and actor’s guild are run by (((white))) women.
They could fix it in an instant. Reminds me of the Family Guy where the guy at the table is pushing for something fresh, and they pummel him with a portrait and throw him out a window.
The original Terminator. It was not expecting to make it as big as it did. In fact they were half expecting it to fail. Arnold almost didn't do the role because failed movies don't look good on star resumes. He did because he felt the movie was obscure enough it wouldn't effect him. We all know the results, it was a smash hit and practically defines Arnold's movie career. That is the power of a quality story.
The real minimum wage is always 0. We forget this fact at our own peril.
No, it isn’t.
You assume there is no employer greedy enough to trick people into paying to work for them.
ooof
@@marcoshalberstadt7646 wwoofing rings a bell. Imagine paying for a subscription service for working where many ask 30 hours a week of farm/ranch work just to set up a tent, (not to mention all associated expenses paid by YOU). Quite an expensive way to touch grass.
Prices rise over two decades, skyrocketing while prices remained stagnant and businesses almost across the board recording record profits year after year. This isn't the minimum wage increase, this is the price increase
And nothing of value was lost
Idk man. I sure do miss movies like T2,predator,alien,no country,LOTR…. But now those can’t happen now. Now the next big trend will be on tik tok or UA-cam.. or made 90% by AI.
@@Kino_pup Korean movies and anime seem to be doing pretty well.
And if the big Hollywood studios collapse, then smaller studios will rise again. It might sound strange to hear, but the film industry used to be much more diverse. High-budget films from the giant studios weren't the only films that got attention back in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Hollywood legends like Roger Corman made a career out of making low-budget movies.
People will always want scripted, produced content rather than used-made content. AI is good at making soulless, cliche work so it could replace the trash the big studios like Disney produce. But AI can't be the next Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Quinten Tarantino, etc.
In the new contract, on page 25, section 11, it has a strange exception to the minimum writer requirements: "This Paragraph M. does not apply when a single writer or team of writers is
employed to write all episodes.” So, if a production company hires a "team of writers" that will write the show, all of the minimum staffing requirements go away. In effect, this will reduce the number of writer jobs and seperate the writing duties from the studios onto independent teams.
And there goes Sweet Baby Inc
@@mistery19971 Or every studio will hire Sweet Baby to write everything.
What I meant more to say is that this is how we will end up having multiple contract out teams that will most likely be similar as Sweet Baby Inc.
Because companies like these are considered DEI friendly it will have a higher likely hood to be hired.
And so the wheel of insider collusion could continue. @@Hedgehobbit
I just hope the fact that JK Rowling is gonna be executive producing the new Harry Potter series will prove to be it's saving grace.
You already know how it's going to go. Dumbledore will be gay, Hermione will be black, and Harry Potter will be incompetent and need girlboss Hermione to bail him out of every sticky situation he gets himself into.
Same. It's supposed to remain more faithful to the books. I just hope it does.
@@funkydiscogod It is funny that everyone seems to have forgotten that Rowling is one of the pioneers of the woke movement. She is a hardcore feminist as well as a racial and lgb panderer. The trans issue is the only thing with which she disagrees with the woke mob.
Now the woke mob treats her like an ultra-right fascist while the anti-woke mob treats her like one of their saints.
It's a clown world...
All that striking and all they did was price themselves out of the market lol
Strikes rarely help anyone, except the leaders of the strike. There's a reason unions are synonymous with organized crime and communist agitators.
There are no writers in Hollywood.
Yes, there are. You right-wingers are just big mad because none of you can write worth a shit.
Fortnite is an example of a trend chaser that was more successful than what it copied.
100% the original fortnite was like a third person coop tower defense and thought hey, we could do a battle royale and it boomed
Then the whole video game industry started chasing Fortnite's success which led to hundreds of millions of dollars being flushed down the toilet. While live-service games were around prior to Fortnite, it was the stand-out success which led to the glut of failed copycat games. And now the industry is doing massive restructures and layoff to undo the changes they implemented to chase that trend.
Let's not forget the OG trend chaser Blizzard.
I read the minimum requirements during the writers strike and said that's insane they will end up with productions production costs rising and therefore less shows would be made. I.e. They were like turkeys voting for 2 Christmas and three thanksgiving per year. I saw it was reported that over 90,000 writers were indirectly unemployed due to these crazy demands/settlement.
So what will happen is the streaming services will just start to bring in even more Korean, Chinese and Japanese shows. People in Hollywood don't seem to realize they don't have a monopoly in entertainment anymore. Audiences are now more accepting of foreign pop culture than ever before.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of folks!
Spartacus Blood and Sand was technically before Game of Thrones which did the ultra violence and nudity before they did.
Underrated show, at least the first season anyway.
I think the Tudors and Rome were also forerunners of the sleazy, violent historical shows that led to GoT.
To be fair, the Song of Ice and Fire novels predated all those, but no one ever thought it would be adapted into film or TV while retaining all those mature elements.
@@MirandaSinistra Yup the first season was awesome. I liked the prequel as well.
@diomedes7971 Yeah man it dropped off a cliff once Whitfield died unfortunately. I miss that actor a lot.
@@ViperChief117 I didn't even watch it after they recast Spartacus. Was it that bad?
I kept saying that they were focusing on the wrong things in their demands. I kept asking where the money for higher pay and more workers was going to come from _during a recession,_ after YEARS of the industry souring its own reputation. I kept saying that a business is not going to simply _not_ use a tool that reduces costs/the need to deal with so many workers.
Oh well. I'd say my job is hiring, but we already have enough brats that think they're too good for fast food, yet can't follow simple instructions and are at questionable/detrimental math and reading levels. Ugh.
We're going to end up needing to add prerequisites to entry-level _fast food_ at this rate. Public schooling is a _joke._
Some writers were warning this exact thing would happen while the strike was still underway but sadly they were drowned out by the zealots who blindly and stupidly believed that the union leadership actually cared about their best interests.
I was unsubbed by YT... Just noticed when it popped into global feed and resubbed.
Holy shit I just noticed I was unsubbed too.
21:29 i guess theres unions and then theres unions. Im part of a union IBEW local 11. We the members vote on the decisions presented by the board, but the board negotiates with the companies on our behalf. Sure we might not agree 100% with every decision they come back with, but they do potentially benifit all of us as a whole not just a part of us.
I know next to nothing about this business, but can someone tell me why are the movie/TV production companies required to work with these people in the first place?
Far-called, our navies melt away;

Actors are under the impression "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
What they should be under is,
"There are plenty of fish in the sea."
There are MAYBE 20 to 30 actors and actresses that get the grease. 0 writers, 0 producers, 0 studios. So i warn them with a final maxim
"Be careful what you wish for, you might regret it."
The squeaky wheel does get the grease, but if it's too squeaky, then, it gets replaced.
@@ChaoticYak1 and which point are we at?
The squeaky wheel gets the grease but the nail that sticks up gets the hammer.
We've been saying it for years, and it'll sink into these people's heads soon. "Get Woke, Go Broke".
I'm glad we got Oz back but I do hope Tyranth and Nathan aren't gone. I like those guys.
"damaged" isn't the right word. Hollywoke has been rotting like a corpse for years, can you really "damage" such a putrid waste?
Great job guys. I love your show.
The thing that really got me was when Adam Conover went to shut down a Marvel shoot by jumping into a very expensive sports car. All while protesting for more money...
If they keep making the same stupid decisions and pushing fans away with politics? Yeah they definitely will destroy themselves. lol
i never get recommendations for this channel despite being subbed with bell on :/
my wife same
I say something: she calls me idiot
at work someone says to her same thing
she calls them genius
she came to a point where she claimed someone supported her career for the first time at work, while I pushed her to embrace and evolve her career and found jobs for her for 20 years.
THey will never appreciate you or what you do for them.
This reminds me of a friend I once knew. He supported a politician who promised to lower taxes and balance the budget. If some does that, there is only one outcome: cutting funding from certain services or programs. If taxes are income and the budget is balanced, expenses must also be lowered.
In short, always remember to apply critical thinking to what you see/hear/etc. instead of going only off the base message. Verifying and cross referencing sources is also very beneficial.
It boils down to simple economics. The costs to produce a movie in Hollywood is more than the return on investment. Everything costs way to much. Covid and the strike allowed the studios to outsource writing and production outside of Hollywood. Which they realized was much cheaper. The agreements the studios made with the Unions are just a stop gap. They are leaving so they don't care what they gave them because it won't be an issue in a few years. Exactly what happened to the manufacturing industry in the US. Anyone could see it coming.
Deserved.
I may be a A-hole saying this but this couldn’t happen to a nicer group of people.
No one tells me how to live my life worse control my life & call me a bad person when I criticize them.
That goes for Hollywood, News Media especially not some politician or some activist who only move is straw manning.
Selfishness is self interest to excess. Self interest itself is not oniy fine, but is comepletey inevitable
Dune 2! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks! I myself loved it so much favorite movie in almost 8 years
Commenting in at around 10min 10 seconds mark: The laws of economics flys out the window when the nation state is involved. I.E. Laws of economics only exist in theory in a closed system. When congress can 'pick and choose' what companies it wants to win it doesn't matter what model you have. By first the nations debt to prop up a company; second by nation laws/regulation to bring down a company. I mean does anyone in the comment section really believe each company is given the same levels of inspections?
Too late, I'm rewatching Too Many Cooks now.
It's no longer 'stay on watch' It should be 'at long last our watch is ending as the dawn begins to break'
Actually, Oz is one of the sanest people I know.
And that fact scares me like hell!
I remember when people scoffed at sequels because majority of them sucked
Isn't a student, it's a fellow teacher.
The primary two or three producers can **suggest** changes to a scrip, but they are **not supposed** to have authority to write things themselves. The on-set writer(s) and director are supposed to be the ones to do that, or the Exec Producers (the ones actually paying, not the EPs that are getting free credit). This is why Hollyweird is failing. They are allowing the people that are supposed to make sure that the production flows (catering, everyone needed on set that day is actually there, making sure props are ready, etc) to take over and push their agenda. I have been saying this for nearly six year, that the pretense that Producers are top management and capable of doing everything, will result in a collapse of the Weird and a mass redistribution out of Cali. so they can find people that are not more interested in pretending they are the the most important thing in the Universe. This is the Great Breakup, and return to normalcy.
EDIT - This will be accelerated when the Communistic Policies of Cali. result in crime spreading to the studios, sets, and their homes. When that happens, all the remaining talent will pack up and leave. This has already started to happen to a small degree, but will likely start making headlines in the next two years.
People don't know their place anymore
"Micro-management" like this is a problem in many mega-corpses nowadays. All it does is slow down production and maintenance and creates poor quality stuff that no one enjoys.
Twitter had a big problem like this as well until most MM's were kicked out during the ownership change. It didn't fix the dumpster fire that it is, but the flame is at least consistent now.
Also, you need to clean that green book in the middle of the screen, it's *very* dusty.
I watched some of his videos. I had no idea who he was or if he was important. I'll go subscribe
I think that people's shortening attention spans and the massive increase in laziness in people has affected their critical thinking skills and ability to ask questions. Whenever you ask a question, you have to think and to think requires conscious effort, which we've seen in recent generations that more and more people do not want to put in any effort.
People with actual life experiences and talent have mostly aged out at this point. The idea that only money matters in this equation makes no sense when dealing with art. Add in forced diversity, only makes things worth as merit isn’t a priority.
If you can’t have any competency in your Human Resources then your screwed. Sheeple will still ingest whatever is shoved in front of them but those with more discerning tastes have probably already noticed the downward slide of quality in a lot of mediums. Music, movies and TV being the most prominent. Books in any format (written or audible) still seem mostly ok but that genre will always attract the more cerebral I feel.
Hollywood has our out of ideas and rehash what has been already done. BORING.STALE.
The only way multiple writers would work is to have an anthology format like love death and robots. Let each writer have their own stories.
Too many chefs in the kitchen. Too many writers in a story.
Just as an aside, I wanna know you guys thoughts on the Game Reveal Trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2...
Same here. Hey Shad whats your opinion on Trosky Castle? Should make for a good vid.
"if you build it, Nerds will come"
That was a great clip for critical thinking, useful in our home schooling household.
3:52 Oz still waiting for Winds of Winter i see
I think your views on unions are a little too reductive. For tradesmen that work in a labor field where safety is a huge concern, having representation to mitigate a contractor demanding things that are unreasonable is a significant plus. For the artistic trades, I imagine it goes a long way in protecting people giving away work or signing garbage contracts for essentially free just to “make it.” To create a blanket statement that only the top benefit isn’t nuanced enough and it feels like a blanket statement to illustrate the point that you’re trying to make.
People who would condemn me for living are hurting themselves. Imagine my shock. Zero sympathy.
Nathan, when the video features another video can you include a link in the liner notes? I would also have linked to the JK Rowling video mentioned by Shad as well, would help me check out some of the stuff they reference. Thanks!
How is there a writes Union?
Can someone just buy the rights to a script? Then you don’t need any writers wouldnt you?
All the bad reboots and remakes are making a lot of people go back to the originals. This in turn is leading to them discovering other old shows and movies which are becoming more popular than the junk they are making today.
However, producing credits are linked to the inherent success of the show and its durability. Since most shows don't last more than 2 seasons at best, or movies barely make their production costs, the returns will be minimal.
The gimped foot! ROTFL. Holy shit. That's funny.
Much as people hate AI taking the job of real talent... it will still be better structured than the "subversion of expectations" fanatics. It'll be equally soulless and badly written, but it will at least have a better plot than Rose Tico flying away to the side as Finn's about to have a character arc only to appear out of nowhere like she teleports for a stupid line to be delivered.
Who do you think will program them?
I’d love to see statistics, really get into the numbers and examine it based on that.
@16:00 but they really are. There are people out there that genuinely don't see the problem with minimum wage being $20 an hour.
"THE NIGHTMARE BECOMES REALITY..." DO DO DO DO DO DO DOOOO
That movie isn't very good, but that ending is funny. Nightmare City for those wondering. I'd recommend watching the dub, because it's funnier that way.
If anime sticks around, I'll be content.
Well if we are lucky, just like the Game industry a Changing of the Guard is in order.
Except one could argue that Halo was already following a trend that was set up by id Software since every fans tried to be like Doom. Even games like Halo owes its existence to Doom, and Doom is far more important and influential than Halo.
By the way, another great way to gain subscribers would be to do dance videos! Shad would be a great dancer!
It also just takes waaaaaaay too long to make TV shows nowadays. Back when Lost was airing, there was only a gap of a few months between seasons and each season had 22 episodes. Now they release a 6-episode season and it's 5 years before the next season airs. The entire point of a TV show is that you can follow it up with more content easily. If you can only get a few seasons in before your viewers die of old age, you're doing it wrong.
I enjoy your political videos more than the sword stuff mate, I like that you two don't hold back. I don't always agree with you, but I appreciate your honesty and spirit a lot. I agree with this video pretty thoroughly.
What's the original video you used clips from? No link in description I can find.
Great Video
I see a Shad video.
I click a shad video.
Simple as.
Boom baby 💥
Where's the link to the video you are commenting?
For the copycat that did better than the trend setter, the only thing that immediately come to mind is Fortnite. I remember when it had a single player or coop story mode
Have you two watched. Damsel yet. Would love to see your opinion on that movie.
There are two roads to success.
One, do something new and incredibly. It is a high risk, high reward route. You can win everything ort lose everything.
Two, do something well established and familiar, but do it really well. This is high effort, high reward route. Instead of betting on 100, you achieve success by doing things it slowly and incrementally.
Each option has it merits.
There is no third, low skill/talent, barely any work being done, nonexistent work ethics, with enormous demands and expectations. This road is most popular among younger generation, mostly women nad non-whites. Having huge writing room, going far over budget and breaking every deadline, having very high expectations in terms of both income and amenities, while producing an utter shit.
Where is the video channel? I can't find the op.
19:50 well Palworld copied Pokemon idea but they did innovate on it. There is a min max in knowing how much you can copy others.
I'm all for regulating markets and correcting imbalances... but this is plain stupid on any level.
Close, but there's a bit more complexity. And it starts LONG before the show is greenlit for production. Here's the deal--when they required minimum staffing of X writers, one area where they did that was for DEVELOPMENT "writers' rooms" for I think it was 8 or 10 writers for 10 weeks at least at minimum. Now consider the situation--a bigshot/producer/director/studio guy gets an idea and says "Hey, what if we tried to do a show about...X???" BEFORE the new contract, he and maybe a pal or two would have some meetings to kick it around and see if it made sense. If not? No biggie, and not a lot of money committed and let's move along to the next brainstorm. Little harm, no foul. BUT NOW with the NEW DEAL to even move SLIGHTLY forward, they have to commit to that 8 or 10 writers at those 10 weeks of minimum....EVEN IF the first or second meeting of this massively expensive brain trust decides "nope, it doesn't work" and they all disband but STILL GET PAID. That means for taking it even SLIGHTLY beyond the "what if?" stage is now something that comes with an ENORMOUS pricetag, and since the odds and experience say that MOST of these will NOT go forward, if we follow this rule we are spending a whole LOT for a whole lot of NOTHING. Notwithstanding Thomas Edison's famous quest for the right filament to make the bulb work and saying he didn't consider the over 100 metals and alloys he tried and failed with a "failure" but rather a "discovery of what won't work"....this is NUTS. Net-net? FEWER of those development rooms for 1, 2, 3, however many writers happen and thus less work AND less exploration that might lead to a HIT that runs for years, employing not just writers but of course actors and directors and producers and key grips and craft services folks and everyone else. Nice work, WGA! :)
Gogo gadget algorithm engagement comment.
Lol, maybe if the corpos didn't stall and actually paid their writers it wouldn't be an issue. They're too big to fail anyway...
Also, imagine blaming artists for the direction of a company instead of the managers that tell them to make trash.
This hasn't got anything to do with this subject but have you thought about making a video on the recent movement to stop publishers from killing games that was kicked off by accursed farms?
well, that probably is a good thing. but as they lose their hollywood jobs, their ilk will seep into other areas. the battle isn't over yet.
In my head canon dude is Tom Baker‘s illegitimate son
I’m for it imploding
"Mortaly Challenged"
20:45 a good example of a game copying another game, but doing it better and becoming way more successful than the original IP is Stardew Valley. It basically just took the Harvest Moon formula and did it better.
. LET ME POST
. The faster Hollywood ceases to exist, the better the movie market will be. Then we, the common people, can start making our own things like The Blair Witch Project. That spawned not only hundreds of other movies, but also the hand held camera stuff.
