Succession's Logan Roy vs real life's Rupert Murdoch | The Spinoff
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 10. 2019
- In HBO's Succession, mogul Logan Roy is hauled before a US senate subcommittee, alongside his son, Kendall, to defend the ethical behaviour of his media conglomerate after it has become embroiled in scandal. Which is more than a little bit like July 2011, when mogul Rupert Murdoch was hauled before a UK parliamentary select committee, alongside his son, James, to defend the ethical behaviour of his media conglomerate after it had become embroiled in scandal.

It's really amazing that Rupert Murdoch in real life somehow manages to be MORE condescending towards his son (that arm pat!) than the Brian Cox fictional character
Literally. He had no sympathy in his voice. Rupert was straight cold. Like my son should take blame.
Ruthless
Dont know how you misread something like that. He was trying to interject, respectfully.
An empty, suck up tactic, but nothing like you are saying
@@shortstuff780 he should be called Rupert M\*rder, because that is what he is metaphorically.
@@orc001 sure he was
Brian Cox is better in pretending it is worst day of his life than Rupert Murdoch actually
Not sure about that it seems logan couldnt even memorize it lol
I guess it's pretty off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online?
@Nikolai Coen thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it!
@Felipe Bishop No problem =)
Most humble day not worst, murdoch is an egomaniac its probably true lol
Thankful to creators of Succession, one of the best shows I’ve watched. Just brilliant. And you can actually see a lot how this snobbish and corrupted world works behind the door we don’t see. Plus casting is insanely good!
Or more, how it doesn’t work
It’s a tv show not documentary
@George Gershwin and the trumps as well as basically every big politician
If you believe the Murdoch's are anything like these monkeys you have no clue at all.
The difference is that Logan Roy is an intimidating colossus of a man, a truly terrifying bully. Murdoch comes across more like Mr Burns - a weasel-like slime ball and coward.
Logan Roy was like that towards his family, private equity investors, business associates and his C-suite. Broadcast portrayal whenever (albeit rarely) he spoke publicly was much more benign. And I can assure you the same is the case with Rupert Murdoch. I can tell you another thing, out of 100 richest people on Forbes' list 90% are big swinging dicks "macho" men who were blessed with higher levels of intelligence and marriage of these two qualities (admittedly, rare) is often a recipe for success. Weasel-like cowards do not have tenacity necessary to survive at the top. I've been working as a data scientist for closely embedded into M&A team at big consulting boutique at the Street and observed this pattern for last 6 years.
The difference is that one is a figment of imagination, the other is a real life colossus.
I can assure you that Murdoch's weasel like behaviour before British politicians was just an act 😂
"I'll come for your son in a minute" haha great line
I'll come to* your son...
On*

to* not for... very big difference when you swap a preposition
@@koshobai swap these balls in your mouth moron
fascinating.
I just watched 2 seasons of this show in 3 days on a free HBO trial :D
you got yourself a win, son lol
Watchmen tomorrow!
@@rohanmiscrits universe cannot wait.
moiraine_damodred season 2 was a masterpiece.
You are more worthy than the Roy children to be the successor. That's a serious power move.
There is a connection with the show and portrayal of Murdoch. James Cromwell, who plays Ewan Roy, also played Rupert in the stage production of Murdoch in Sydney.
Thats interesting indeed. Thanks for the information.
He is nothing like Murdoch. Murdoch has heaps of charm and intelligence. That character is like a monkey. His children even dumber.
Reality always looks cheaper
No, it’s not fiction versus reality. It’s the US versus the UK. Succession’s scene takes place in congress and looks pretty accurate.
movie magic
@@RoyKoopaling that’s not the point
@@RoyKoopaling There's plenty of grand Victorian meeting rooms in the British Parliament. This meeting just happened to be in a fairly underwhelming "modern refurbished" room. Might have been a psychological tactic by the British MPs to bring Murdoch down to Earth / make the point that they're not rolling out the red carpet for him.
@@hunter98764 Which select committees take place in grand Victorian rooms? Every one I’ve seen has been a dilapidated mess.
That's f'ing amazing, thanks for posting.
It is funny how different the courtroom scene looked like in real life vs Succession. In succession, the room is paneled with expensive wood walls, a marble entryway, huge lamps, oak wood desks, and comfier-looking chairs. I know I would like to have myself be taken out by the law in the Succession courtroom than the IRL one with cheap plastic chairs, desks, crappy lighting, and commercial carpeting.
For what its worth, the 'courtroom' scene in Succession was a hearing held by the US congress, and this is is a hearing held by British MPs. But you're right - reality is so much less glamorous than tv sometimes!
Yeah the US Congress stuff actually looks generally accurate.
I think it's just the difference between the US and UK governments lol
My government can't afford fancy courtrooms.
@@rupertbootes5961 *legislatures
This video is incredible, deserve more views
Holy shit this otherwise excellent show is elevated with the zing of true life panache
zing of panache lmao its loosely based on the murdoch family
Weird grammar - When you say otherwise excellent you imply that the next thing that you are going to say is negative.
@@tomtarrell That pretext isn't limited in use. 'this otherwise excellent show is elevated' is correct grammatically. Read a book
@@shrector123 “have you read Plato” that’s how stupid you sound
@@yandhi5016 It's a fair question because they seem entirely uneducated
“Mr Murdock, you’ve broken our record of the most un recalling event”
The actors are way better at being the people they’re acting than the people
The people they portray are practically sociopaths
that’s movie magic for ya
Its almost like they have trained their whole lives to look and sound perfect on camera
@@orc001 almost but not completely
@@orc001 Perfect response to one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen
This show made me realize “you know nothing John snow”
Lmao its funny Rupert almost seems like the show version of Brian Cox.
Brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼
Real life seems to have terrible lighting, framing and shot composition
Kendall Roy is no James Murdoch. James didn't rattle and told the world matter of factly that his father had enabled the careers of key British politicians & that they needed to remember that & do his bidding. Couldn't help but respect it. Also his departure from the empire, hats off.
Unfortunately Lachlan Murdoch, who is usually predicted to succeed Rupert, is even more right wing than his father.
@@JohnDoe-dk4drLachlan's early career had elements of Roman. The family knows better than any that regardless of personal beliefs, there's a lot of money in selling to the right.
I didn't follow the Murdoch trial but was James actually facing jail time because if he was and his father treated him anything like Logan he's a idiot
@@TheKidYT true, they’ll follow the money, and pandering to the far-right via pedalling outrage bait on their news channels is what fuels their viewership.
Departure? he was let go.
"This is the most humble day of my life (pause........pull sad face)....>"
What the fuck ? He ate my chicken 🍗
I still think Logan Roy has infinitely more in common with Robert Maxwell
and who does that make shiv....lol
@@sams7068 She’s definitely got a few personality traits in common with Maxwell’s daughter, though definitely different career ambitions
How? the alignment between ATN and fox is clear as day
Everybody forgets Sumner Redstone
i hope season 4 shows a bit of logan roy's relationship with intelligence agencies
Great to see that Murdoch got his comeuppance finally. Oh hang on.
Life imitates art (or vice versa) in any case Well done. The only thing missing is if someone would've attempted to chuck a shaving cream pie at Logan Roy 😂🎉👏🏾
They throw a bag of piss on him in an earlier episode.
I wanna see Wendy Deng's avatar in these series please, i want more dramas!
She's already there as Marcia
I want the pie scene!!!
Murdoch represent the greatest threat ever to the western way of life. He must be held criminally accountable for his actions.
Can you do one for the scene where they pick the president?
I love this film
hell is waiting
Oh this damn rich people!
jealous?
@@TroyResuqw6789 no, they're assholes in real life
@@TroyResuqw6789 You'll never be as rich as them, why do you even bother defending them?
Just as Dorothy’s house fell on the wicked witch, much of the world will celebrate when Rupert Murdoch dies. It won’t be long. I am looking forward to it with glee.
WOW.
The "humble" line was just cringe-o, as if interrupting his son was the only opportunity to shoehorn in some fake remorse.
holy shit
Would give Rupert Murdoch some props if he had just said 'Oh, f**k off."
Congressman: "in 2008, why didn't you..."
Rupert: STOP. BUZZING. IN MY. FUCKING. EAR!!!!
Think he did when he said I've never heard of him. As if he would no the details of some little paper in the UK
Impressive
L O V E M E S O M E Logan Roy
I'd read about Rupert's "most humble day of my life" phrase supposedly being the basis for Logan's speech but I'd honestly not believed it because Logan's speech was typical. I mean, what else would he say? But then the thing with passing the bucket to his son and 👀 maybe there is actually a connection 😂
Doen the rabbit hole
No frigginway
Damn… The rumors are true. It is based off them. 😂
R to the M. He’s a Sunny Playa, Playa like the Fox.
Chris Stevens, my Boy. Pay
Why no protestor attacting Rupert scene, dunt skip that part!
Son, you see that bus? U wanna jump in front all by yourself or do you need a lil push.....
Now do Mar-a-lago raid and the raid of ATN
Living rent free I see
You mean do the Biden house and the raid of ATN?
Is this what the show is actually based on or inspired by?
It’s a fiction
The Roy’s are based on the murdoch family who own Fox News and loads of right wing british newspapers
Reality is just so banal… I’d rather see it with that Shakespearean vibe than those recording from the hearing.
The banality of evil. 🤷
That hearing was pretty dramatic. Especially the part where somebody hit Murdoch in the face with a pie.
All family businesses that are handed down become shitshows.i just dont think family and business and coexist
Art imitates life - The TV Series Succession mirrors the Murdoch family
It's a satirical take of the murdoch family not an mirror of it
@@inigobantok1579 yeah they are worse in real life.
Logan could whip rupert
Okay everything is being made I to a movie, an HBO show,
Never trust any Murdoch
Is Eavis supposed to represent Bernie? Haha
Yeah but more radical
@@inigobantok1579 lol I think he is less radical.
Or Mike Gravel
😆
now if only Rupert would do what Logan did during Connor's wedding...
there is NO reason a person should be a billionaire and the way he controls the media. Pure evil.
I feel sorry for james murdoch if he wasn’t so disgustingly rich
yeah, don't feel sorry for the murdochs. they're why the world fucking sucks right now.
@@xlinnaeus Fox News is the reason the world sucks?
@@markdin2988 Fox News sucks period.
CNN isn't printing fake news ... sure
@@kingsjsj123 what a whatboutism
Keeping the "sheep" stupid.......
Wtf 😂
The original is funnier

Sociopath
What is RUBBISH person
The series only has one thing that is trash...the leftist tone. If it was more real about the corruption in both parts it would be one of the best ever.
They should do a version of Succession about crooked politicians…
Oh wait, they did. It was called Boss, starring Kelsey Grammer, and it got *canceled.*
Well, they made House of Cards too, but Boss was much, much better. I'll never forgive Starz for canceling that show, it was just ludicrous.
Veep also exists if you take out the drama.
"The thick of it" is an epic British show also
Boss was an amazing show, remember seeing an interview with Kelsey (in his best role ever) where he felt the shows end, and the fact it was never nominated for any awards..had to do with its republican politics..
