So, apparently, the franchise is owned by both Comedy Central and the creators. That includes the digital and syndication revenue being 50/50.
What about merch? Who gets the revenue from that? Who even makes it? The show is cheap to make so do the creators fund it themselves or does Comedy Central fund it?
I certainly hope so.
What a way to bookend the franchise by including a song from the very movie that inspired Lion King. If it wasn't a coincidence, it's brilliant.
I plan to use it wired via USB-C with my iPhone 17 Pro and Apple Music Lossless. Do I need an external equalizer?
I ask because from what I've seen and experienced, Apple is very closed off ecosystem with very few features for customization like EQ. Not only that, but the EQ apps for a specific headphone (like Sennheiser's or Sony's) are only useful for when you plan to use them wirelessly.
I've heard that if you power them on and use them wired, none of this matters. Is there any truth to this or should I go buy an external equalizer so I can customize them?
"I don’t think Beef could be made when I started, that’s for sure,” he said before redirecting the spotlight towards the Asian and Asian American filmmakers and creatives who came before him. “There’ve been so many Asian American writers and directors before me that have paved the way and didn’t get the recognition they deserved,” Lee said. “Progess should have started earlier, but I’m grateful for the people that are allowing progress to happen now.”
Highlighting his good working relationship with Korean Netflix executives Jinny Howe and Irene Lee, Lee explained that the cultural shorthand they shared helped Beefflourish along with hoping that the show’s continued success creates space for an even wider range of stories from Asian and Asian American creatives.
“I think what often happens is you get success with a certain type of experience and then everyone just wants you to copy and paste and keep doing that,” Lee said. “As every community of color knows, we contain multitudes.”
He continued: “The Asian American experience isn’t just Steven Yeun’s Danny from Season 1. It’s not just Ali Wong’s Amy from Season 1. It’s not just Song Kang-ho’s Dr. Kim or the multiracial aspect of Charles Melton’s Austin from Season 2. I’m so thankful I’ve got to show those slices, but there’s an infinite array of dimensions and layers that we contain. I hope I keep getting these opportunities and continue to show all the different layers that we have.”
The states, particularly CA and NY, are already making their cases ready against this merger by the attorneys general. That's one thing.
Plus, there's also the many hurdles internationally. Brazil just recently announced a review that will end by Dec of this year.
If they don't close this by Sept, Paramount will have to pay the ticking fee and each month they don't close, they need to pay billions. And since Paramount doesn't have that much and the Saudi money is draining thanks to the war, it's safe to say this won't be closing at all, WB remains independent, and David Ellison can go stack boxes in the back instead of being a CEO.
Most shows would have had a "special episode" that tackled it, then moved on with a happy ending.
This show would rather examine how it is literally baked into every American institution, and how nothing will ever change it. Not the lesson people, especially white Americans, *want* to hear but it's the one they absolutely *need*.
The original Universal 1932 movie was just Dracula but with Egyptian mythology.
The 1999 Brendan Fraser movie was just Indiana Jones but with Egyptian mythology.
The 2017 Tom Cruise movie was just American Werewolf in London but with Egyptian mythology.
The latest one this year was just Evil Dead but with Egyptian mythology.
The only ones I can think of that do stand on their own are the least known ones, like the Hammer ones and the Universal ones from the 40s.
This is him doing a SpongeBob impression over his Brando impression. From the latest episode.
It's on YouTube, where he gives the Questionaire to himself. He doesn't phrase it quite well, understandable as it's too complex to cram in a few sentences. But from what I've gathered from people in the Late Show sub, it amounts to this:
>His answer (before the febreze joke) wasn't incompatible with Catholic teaching... At least as I've been taught it in 17 years of Catholic schools and countless masses over my life.
>He basically described his soul becoming one with God, through dissolving of the individual.
>That's basically how I've always heard it explained, especially in response to questions about people who maybe remarried or who loved someone who themselves wouldn't be saved. The person's soul joins with God and is so enveloped in the most pure love beyond human imagination that whoever else is or isn't there in heaven with them they don't notice anyone or anything other than God's love for the rest of eternity.
>I'm no theologian nor the most devout or convinced Catholic out there, but it seemed like a beautiful description that fits within the faith to me.
>From my understanding, Colbert's faith is more in line with Catholic mysticism than your regular everyday American Catholicism. He kind of goes into it more on his episode of You Made It Weird With Pete Holmes. His Questionnaire answer is a TV-friendly summary of that!
So, any discussion?
