What Netflix did to The Witcher by firing Henry Cavill who was the most passionate person on set and mucking up the lore was horrific. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich the show runner is another example of what a German can do to anything Polish.....
Andrew mentioned about spinoffs and paying fewer actors as a result. I'm thinking that's what happened to The Witcher around Season 3. The plot was not about the Witcher anymore. They kinda wanted to get away with a spinoff withing a show those Bastardos. :D
Haha bro this is top notch comedy... I feel sad for people not appreciating this genius beat
Henry Cavill didn't get fired, he quit the show. He was a gatekeeper on set and didn't care about adaptation. All he cared about was recreating the Witcher 3. He read the books after getting the part and got even more gatekeepy and insufferable, saying that Geralt needed to have internal monologues because the books are from his perspective. Completely missed what made his performance so good in the first season.
makes you think, do we really want to pay people like that
@@Harout.JoulakianI dont think it was even about the money. It was egos clashing and people wanting to make their own show but then, why buy an IP in the first place.

The greatest thing netflix has done for me is get me into watching more and more European and Asian content and less USA content
Netflix definitely creating more job opportunities for foreign actors. Some of them been grinding for so long to finally get money and recognition.
I thought I was the only one🤣🤣
Max too they have a bunch of French, Japanese, and even some African films.
Its seems a lot of people on here think million dollar actors who live in Los Angeles are the ones who are striking and make up a majority of SAG. They dont. They are in the top 0.1% of all actors in the US.
There are over 160k actors who are part of SAG across the US.
These actors arent just in California. They are also in Texas, Kansas, Georgia, North Carolina and all over doing a lot of extras work as they try to break in the industry to hopefully shifting to Los Angeles or New York or Atlanta.
A lot of them do jobs like service industry work, real estate, and sales job
Truckers are the backbone of the nation. These same cunts berated them and called their protest covid spreader event. Goes both ways, want respect? Give respect. And what is the result of their shows? more WOkeness? CHildren shows with LGBT content? Nah no sympathy from posers.
They should become better actors to be worth being paid.
@RebelGorilla7384
Talent is only part of the question.
There is a lot of nepotism in Hollywood. So many of the top up and coming talents in Hollywood are nepo babies
I think someone pointed out on Twitter it took Bryan Cranston 20 years to get a series regular spot in Macolm in the middle and 30 years to get a household name role in Breaking Bad.
@@RebelGorilla7384shut up clown 🤡
Unfortunately no one cares. We are as a country are so plugged into this culture war that we think we think all actors live in million dollar mansions and shame us for not being woke enough.
Bit of a side note: the gang has really matured over the years. In the past they would have devolved the convo when Andrew said “The holes we created.” They’ve finally learned to stick to a topic without needing to add a joke to every other word.
Definitely, but I think they’ve always had the capacity for these types of convos in the past. They are just quite spontaneous on whether or not they will choose to dive deep and discuss a topic or move on to a bit or joke surrounding it
Wait until Schultz finds out how much Snooki made for jersey shore😂
Enough to fix looking like a gremlin
I dont think people understand or really want to understand this whole thing. This whole thing is for the little guy, the canera operation,set designers, vfx, the extra actors etc etc. Not the big millionaires actors like Brad Pit. This strike is for the little guy that makes it all work.
Yeah all the privileged people working for the studios for years? And only got the job cause they had family connections. Sucks to be them
@@gamerk1625 you sound very bitter. Are you a failed actor?
Nah, youre wrong
Those members are represented by IATSE. Camera guys specifically is iatse local 600.
Theyre cool, they just negotiated with streamers last year. (Weak ass contract but still)
This is strictly actors and writers.
This strike is actually hurting IATSE because no one is working on set rn.
@@gamerk1625no one works for studios anymore, everyone is freelance, going project to project.
I work out of Chicago and nobody got these jobs via family connections. Everyone just busted ass on set after set until they could get onto a union set.
@@pahwraith yea good for you . I've lived in Hollywood n toluca lake for 30 years. I know the business
He should be more worried about the obvious barber strike
The only reason the actors could demand such high fees is because the studios were making so much more money off that. They would sell the season to ever other country around the world. Syndicated around the world. But if streaming is in every country. Those shows are still being sold to networks around the world. So the studios are still making money off these series and âpre probably writing off tax against any country where their streaming service is airing the episodes.
Certain shows, like British bake off, aren’t produced by Netflix. They just pay for streaming rights which means it’s available in more countries and hopefully draws in more subs. But Netflix doesn’t negotiate any of the talent contracts. Netflix produced shows usually have a one season with a 2nd option year to be enacted by Netflix. If the show is popular they do a second season. But by 3rd they have to renegotiate which is why many shows are never renewed.

Carsick and seasick are the same thing, its motion sickness. I have it, but I don't get sick every time I'm in a vehicle or every time I was on a boat. It depends on how bad of a driver the person you are riding with is or how choppy the water is when you're out on it.
Im glad youtube payout was brought up because that's honestly the formula streaming needs to follow in order for everyone to get paid decently.
CZcams has ads, streams don't. terrible comparison.
@KS-xk2so there are ad versions of streaming services, my boy. Why do you think Netflix started a teir with ads included. There's a ton of revenue to be made there and HAS been made since Netflix started that.
@@TheReelRapNerd I'll be interested to see who actually buys these ad versions of streams... no one wants thats bullshit. I'm hoping Netflix's version fails miserably and it effects the other streamers plans
@KS-xk2so well, that's the thing. The ad version of Netflix boosted their revenue and stock since it's been a choice of subscription last year. I unfortunately feel that more streamers will end up making ad versions a priority. So much so, that the non ad version will cost more than casual vewiers are willing to pay.
My boy walked out mid haircut 💀!
This is the smarter Andrew sounds in long time he got really good points, I think he nail the issue 100% ..
Executives and ceos are pocketing millions of dollars a year for themselves but they suddenly don’t have any money to spare to give raises to the people who are making them millionaires.
And?

They want paid more to remake the same 10 movies over the past 20 years?
Lol like people actually want to watch something different. Hollywood caters to what people want. People want the same movies over and over again. Anyone trying anything new usually fails.
@@jeffdaman6969idk the numbers but i know i rarely watch a remake
@@VIi726 that’s you. Plenty of people do. They either watch remakes or they are watching sequels or both. What I do know is people don’t watch one off movies enough to justify Hollywood going in that direction. They go where the peoples money goes. Blame the viewers.
@@jeffdaman6969they dont have a choice but to watch the remakes. Which is why they all suck now
Shut up, Fast and Furious 53 was good
Well said!!
A subscription based service that has so many many many ways of being taken advantage of ie piracy cannot be profitable, it’s just not a safe businesses. That’s the reality of it hence why it’s dependent on stock
Netflix has been profitable (yes, profit, not revenue) since 2003, in 2022 they turned over 4.5 billion dollars in profit.
These streaming services are profitable and even if some aren’t, giving writers a percentage of ownership/equity is the same as a share in a company, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get a return, but if you’ve put in blood, sweat and tears, at least you have some chance where that asset might make a return in the future and you’ll see some of that cash.
This is the conversation you have 5pm on the yay yo
Zendaya earned $300K for her 7-minute role in Dune.
yeah the industry is a lot bigger than zendaya and big stars you know.
@@shakeitlikeanaries128but don't you think that's the point. People complain about CEO and executive wages when they feel the lower end workers don't get paid as much. Same with male athletes compared to female athletes complaining about pay. But I swear when it comes to music and film, no one ever brings up the amount of money certain actors get for a very minimal amount of work. Especially when you consider what I mentioned before about how certain groups of people do get vilified for it
@@SASMADBRUV7Because their worth can be quantified. Take Tom Cruise out of Mission Impossible or RDJ out of Iron Man and no one is interested. They bring the money in.
300k for Zendaya seems about right.
@@Mopark25 don't get me wrong, I agree with that. It's just that for me, I feel as if there is a hypocrisy that certain people/industries will get criticised for their high salaries whilst the same people never say that about actors
@@SASMADBRUV7 Oh 100%, it's just as exorbitant and should be criticized the same way.
Hollywood did it to themselves
Thanks for the video guys
they should sell ad space on the interface or one or 2 ads before every program
I still will never understand how netflix is still able to run as a company. Last i checked they are 12 billion dollars i debt and are running at a loss every year. Is it purely the revenue that is keeping them afloat because they aren’t profitable at all.
Just curious, why didn’t anyone mention what the executives are making??
How many times in the history of cinema do you hear about a role that 15 top actors turned down and then it ends up being a great role for the 16th top actor. Yea, you can say no one would see the movie without Tom Hanks but if it wasn't Tom Hanks then it would just be another beloved actor. This isn't the 1980's, there are so many "top" tier actors. It all boils down to greed anyways. Anyway you cut it. Studios, streaming platforms, actors, writers, etc etc. Imagine having 100 Large Pizzas and not sharing, like naw I'm going to need all 100 of these pizzas. Same thing with the ridiculous contracts athletes are getting. Literally benchwarmers making more in ONE year than a fire fighter or EMT will make in 40 years of waking up every day saving lives. There's a bigger issue at hand here...
Well the applicant getting paid that money because they're generating 10 times that. So the money is being made in a funny being made who should get the money that's being made? The owner? F*** out of here with that s***. If the money being made in the money is going to be paid to somebody I'd rather be the player who I pay to watch
That live Mario kart track is so 🔥
Theres a book called The One Thing that outlines the Disney business model pretty well
ozark was pretty huge on netflix
The problem is the executive salaries and bonuses.
Is there are a reason that they can't just go with a payment structure like the movies? negotiate a higher minimum pay with a lot more benefits and then just get paid for the duration of the project, like a movie?
Basically its because the streamers won't release the actual viewing data so therefore you can't calculate just what the money numbers should be. Scary thing is that maybe the reason they don't release numbers is because the viewership for the recent stuff is not that big and that people are watching old shows.
Even though Alex reduced how much he speaks on the pod, even how little he speaks is still annoying ngl
Why is he even there
Even the guy behind the camera speaks more than Alex
It’s interesting what side the viewers take when it comes to things like this. More often the public usually sided with the multi millionaires
I don't give a shit about any of them.
The public don't want others to be successful because they aren't successful themselves. Scarcity mentality.
Nah because consumers like cheap shit
The issue is the streaming model needs to change, Schultz seems not to understand that once Netflix shares the viewing numbers a drop in share price would mean they would have to license and syndicate original content to regain the share price. And this is exactly what the unions want.
How on earth does Andrew get seasick after all his Hollywood experience with seamen?
I think you should also argue that entertainment is over saturated and the value of an actor is far less. When in history has the jester been so valued? Perhaps we’re seeing a societal change that puts less value on actors.
Bro, we just want Bob Iger to earn a little less and the actual workers to earn a bit more. This isn’t complicated.
@ballisticbread You can cut much more from A-list actors and they won't feel it and I don't even like Bob Iger.
@@ballisticbread I wasn’t trying to push back against what’s happening but as a whole we’ve over valued entertainment in this country for a very long time. For sure you should get a cut of streams.
@@chrisgk7494 those actors are infinitely more crucial to the process than CEOs are. Let’s start with them.
@@brandonwebster4590 the middle of an historic labor strike is not the time to state said labors overvaluation. Just support the workers.
Hollywood had no problem berating truckers and workers in general when the absurd lockdowns were happening yelling "f your freedom, stay home!"

He was thinking of the actress who plays Cersei who got paid a lot in the last season to do almost nothing.

The quality of a movie or show on some of the streaming services are not great
It’s not just about streaming it is about AI also. Studios want to be able to use AI for their likeness and to write. EX. Say their needs to be reshoots. Just use the AI image instead of having to pay the actor again.
This is what Reeves was trying to get in front of well before this strike.
It doesn't really have all that much to do with production companies using AI for reshoots and not paying the actors, they don't get paid extra for reshoots. It's more about production companies using AI to make it appear like an actor is doing or saying something that the actor would not normally agree with.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous to say that AI is not equally serious an issue here. There’s nothing to stop production companies from using it to replace most actors, voiceover artists, and writers. But I blame the government for this because there’s really no legislation. It’s just the Wild West. This is probably because there aren’t enough people in Congress who understand or care to understand the problem at all. No vision.
@@Coltwollsch Hey Colt it is negotiated in their contracts usually so they pay upfront for them. And in some cases if it goes past the extra months that they negotiated then they would have to pay more if they are even available. Of course those extra months might be longer depending on the type of Movie (Marvel and DC movies for instance.)
@@MosEisleySpacePort1138 I honestly think the Government needs to jump on it but if you have watched Congressional Hearing with Tech companies you know those guys have no clue. I personally think AI is one of the most dangerous issues we are facing. Not because Skynet will take over the world but because of misinformation. Most people do not research. They watch the TV or Social Media and believe every Tom, Dick, and Harry with Access. Imagine when they see people with Credentials saying stuff. OH boy!

How long do you think it'll be before they figure out that nobody cares?
andrew your barber either has no thumbs or he’s blind he didn’t even finish the cut 🤣😭🤣
It happened with the music industry, and now it's happening to movies and shows.
Games next. But the first industry was books and magazines or General Print. The product doesn't make a profit except for big items that float the publishers.
The one big difference which I really have to give the print industry some credit for is that they had the foresight to accept that when people started buying more books for e-readers and audio to not make separate apps for their companies. Instead they just adopted.
Dove just preaching movie socialism lol
If I'm an entertainment company I'd start telling these actors they need to pay to be on the shows. Their brands as actors are completely reliant on being on screen. If they aren't on screen they are just another regular person. If the actors want endorsement deals and appearance deals they have to stay constantly relevant on screen.
and that's why you're not an entertainment company
Residuals is ridiculous... a heart surgeon doesn't get paid everytime the repaired heart beats.. why do they need to get paid every time the show is viewed?
Crazy that schultz thinks the music industry is fair for streaming.
I think it was more so along the lines , they found something that for the most part works . It’s difficult to boil it down to price per view on visual content , as different content have different levels of production value. You could say the same for music - but films a different ball game imo
He clearly hasn’t heard Snoop break it down. Music artists are getting ripped off hard with steaming.
It is fair. It's just that music isn't worth anything anymore. When you had to buy the CD, of course the entire industry made way more money. Now it's just a ten dollar subscription to Spotify and I'm not buying your album. Musicians aren't getting ripped off they are just getting rolled by technological advancements.
What they need to do is raise subscription price
Tell me you don't know how streaming revenue works without telling me you don't know how streaming revenue works.

Uber is actually astronomically profitable in reality. Now, what they report is BS, of course, but that's how they avoid taxes. In reality it's extremely profitable. Think about it - they mostly sell their app tech, it doesn't cost much.

AI is a huge issue as well. You can't just handwave that away
I think their argument is that it's not a big issue because that's the crazy extreme item that the producers will agree to remove in their negotiations. "Ok. We agree not to use AI. In exchange, the actors/writers will agree to get paid less." You go in asking for a high number, knowing they'll never accept it and you negotiate down.

This is a 22 minute conversation to justify why steaming platforms shouldn’t pay people.
I believe you're still thinking about monetizing views. Since Netflix is a subscription service, you may have 1 person who signed up to just watch that ONE show and another person who watches 10+ hours a day. If you did a view-based compensation package, the value of one view to another can be dramatic.
Problem is that shittiest content brings in biggest eyeballs. If they start publishing numbers, every show will be some version of "Too hot to handle"
This makes no sense. Netflix has been profitable since 2003
When Elon???
This strike will change the industry.... no one will be under long term contracts. They'll take bids instead of offering contracts. Season (which we've seen already) will be shorter... 2 to 3 seasons. And if the show runs longer, it'll be a smaller cast. Movies and shows will be product placement heavy. Networks will make it so u can by a season for the year and it'd be more profitable... example: 9 season of seinfeld? $9 a year JUST for the one show... now imagine friends plus frasier plus the office.
