[MUSIC] Hi everyone, it's Roger here firm or what's on at Disney Plus with our weekly live Q&A to be hello and welcome to everyone. See quite a few people already here in the live chat, good Matt. I'm out of got Keenan at the one and only think about barber trolling and not clover the hello to all of you. And again welcome to this week's show. So in advance, our Patreon and our YouTube channel members have been able to submit questions. We've got quite a lot of different questions today. So aim is to kind of go through all of them. But also are we jumping in and out with questions from our live chat which YouTube channel members can join in on. You can also send in super chat functions as well. That all helps support the channel and it really is a huge support and just becoming a member or anything like that. If you fancy gifting memberships, anything like this, all just helps and yeah that would be just fantastic to anyone that does so. And a big hello and thank you to everyone here in the live chat so you've got quite a few people here. Big thank you for Jonathan for being a member for 18 months. Thank you so much for your support. You love Moana, is there going to be a Moana too? Yes, Moana too is going to be coming out in cinemas and this is going Thanksgiving. So yeah, I'm going to wait too long either. Right, let's jump into the questions. So let's start off with the one. I tend to like to start off with the ones at the top. So Baba asks, do you think Disney could add a music library and podcast library on to Divly+ to give people more variety? Sorry about the time of the day, couldn't it before? So I think this it makes a lot and lots of it makes a lot of sense really in some ways for I think Disney to utilize this. First off, they've launched like the Marvel podcast recently. I mean, on one hand, you know, you can make a podcast with no video very, very cheaply. And I suspect as well, if they were to make a video version of it, they would then have to have a set and then they're going to have a camera crew and then they're going to have to have editors and everything that's going to be fine and dandy and all the rest of it. And it's going to cost them a lot of money to do it. So that's why they might not do it. I mean, they put them out on YouTube as videos and some of them do a lot. Like, I maybe there's some issues with music stuff as well, like with licensing and like how much money they pay. It's kind of funny because way back when Disney Life used to exist here in the UK, it was a streaming service before Disney Plus launched. And one of the key things I loved about it was that you had all of the Disney albums all in there so you could listen to it and you could download onto your app and you'd get the Marvel and the Star Wars stuff. And I like listening to soundtrack, so for me, it was a great way of going in there and listening. So I think it would be good, I list, I'll put TV on, usually I just go on to YouTube and I'm just going to music and just go for a playlist or something like that in there. And music videos come up or it's just, you know, the lyric videos or sort of like that. And it's usually just on the background while I'm working. So I think it would be a good idea. I think the challenges with the podcast is, for me, I am always very, very wary of official podcasts because it's an official product. It is very official, therefore it's all very glossy, they only tend to talk about the positives, it's more of a PR outlet rather than people talking candidly. You know, when Kevin Feige appears on the Marvel podcast, everything is time and if he doesn't like something he says, or it says something too much, they will edit it out because they will have control over it. So that's, you know, if you're doing it live, that's very tricky and stuff. So I would like them to do it, I think they should at least, you know, if you're going to put out maybe it might be more tricky with how they do it. But, you know, maybe do a whole video, just, you know, just one hour just going right the way through and, you know, have different, I don't think I've tracked, if you break it down, but it would make sense to me to look at why they do it. Kayla says, what do you expect from San Diego Comic Con next week? What would you expect to be safe for the 23rd? So next week there is going to be a Doctor Who panel, not expecting anything too major to come out of that one, maybe, I don't even think we're going to tease, they might get to see a teaser of the Christmas special or little preview of next year's. But I don't think us, the general public will get to see it because we don't really want to see a Christmas special year in July. It might not work, so that's definitely one thing. As far from Marvel, I think we're going to get confirmation of the Avengers Secret Wars directors of the Russo brothers, I think that will be revealed. I think now we're going to get Nova will be confirmed as a Disney class series because they've talked about it. We know that little slideshow that we get where it tells you all the different release dates and stuff, or like some of it. I think we're going to get an updated version of that for the next few years. Yeah, I think, and then they're going to get to see, you know, new clips from Captain America, Thunderbolts, probably Agatha, Ironheart, Daredevil. So all the people in the hall H will get to see got a lot of previews and stuff. Wonder Man, I suspect will be officially announced. I don't know if we'll get, I mean, they might give us a teaser trailer or a first look at it. But it's very tricky because if they're getting an Agatha, I wouldn't be at all surprised we get a new trailer for Agatha during that there as well for sort of see what it's new clip. But if you've got, you know, Agatha coming up in September, next year, we're going to probably have Daredevil born again in March. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ironheart or Wonder Man follow later in the year. I don't think they're going to do free series next year. I think Wonder Man could be early 2026, 2026 with maybe another Daredevil and then know them maybe for 2027. That's about it. I think with this only having, you know, the days when they were, we were getting like five, six series a year to Marvel, you know, it was very easy to go. We need 15 shows to kind of do over the next three to four years. If you're only releasing two a year, suddenly you only need six to be announced and you've got three years covered and I don't think they want to go too much beyond that one. In regards to what they might say for the 23, maybe Wonder Man, maybe Wonder Man might be the one that they hold off but they give us the first teaser trailer, Wonder Man, that might be it. So, Mama says, when we get getting the Hulu and Disney+ lists for August since we only have one week left until the end of July. Right, so if you're not aware, so generally Disney will send out the list of what's coming out the next month, a few weeks before the beginning of the new month. Obviously, the rule of thumb used to be around about the 15th of the month. It could be a day or two after that, and you could kind of pretty much take that as a general plan of what they would do. And it worked like that for years. And then last year things started getting a little bit iffy, things started getting a little bit later, because it was less coming out. So, as we went into 2024, that concept was completely gone. We have had them the latest, I was just going through and just having a look now. The latest we've had them before is the 22nd, it was back in February, so that would be tomorrow, if they did the same there. We have had them in the 20s more often now in 2024. It's not uncommon now for them to come the week later. So, I don't really view this as really being late yet, because the days of the 15th are long gone. That was last year. We haven't really seen that this year. A lot of other studios and streaming services don't put out the list too much closer to the month. Disney could change their plans for what they're doing. They don't have to provide that list. And so, yeah, generally don't go by that 15th date, as like, I mean, there was a time, and I'll be honest, when I used to plan my evenings for that week of the week of the 15th, I wouldn't schedule anything in for a few nights around the 15th, 16th, 17th. I wouldn't, I'd just be like, no, I know it's going to drop them. Now, it's very difficult, and sometimes as well, and this is the big thing. The lists that come out for Disney Plus each month in the US are so small that often there's only a couple of things on there that we didn't necessarily know about, most of which we know about in advance. So, I think sometimes I'm like, literally, we know most of this, it wasn't really the interesting thing then usually what happens is when that one drops over the next few days or they get the UK list, the Canada list, and obviously I'm updating the website and all the rest of it. Australia's list tends to get much closer to the beginning of the month, sometimes even into the month itself. But again, not every streaming services provides it weeks in advance. And I think Disney are probably going to slide more later and later. Then we've got the situation with August, because right now, we have got nothing actually in terms of an original coming out in August. That we know of a few of the Disney Channel and Disney Junior shows coming in the US. We know Hulu is getting solar opposites, it's also getting new episodes of Futurama, and we also know it's getting only murders in the building. But July, August for Disney Plus right now, there is nothing that we've got, and there's been no trainers. I think there is a movie that someone did mention that could possibly be on the list was out of my mind, which is a new movie. There was, I think I did see an image of the poster, but I wasn't sure if it was real or not. That could be something that they hold on to. And I actually want to bring in just a quick note here of film watchers says, do you have a rough idea of when Kingdom of the planning age is going to be on Disney Plus? I think that that is going to be the big video or the big edition for August, and they're having a wait a few weeks more just trying to get some more digital sales, because the only thing I think that could fill the void for to make August decent is Kingdom of the planning age. If they released that at the end of maybe the third week of or fourth week of August, that might be why they are holding off. I think next month's list looks very, very, very light, unless there's a flood of these stuff, but also we just not been hearing about new shows the same way. Also, generally like new shows don't tend to start in August very often. I want to kind of get the summer out of the way, but yeah, August's lineup is looking really, really thin. They've been announcing stuff for September. You know, we've got the Lego special. We've got Agatha. We've got other things coming in. And as Fermil says, August 27 for the Blu-ray for Kingdom of the planning apes, I wouldn't be surprised if that week we get it on Disney Plus, but they might be holding off. They could even wait off another week and get into almost the beginning of August before they make that announcement if they've got nothing really to go. And yeah, as Kim says, they are probably very focused on D23. It's, the thing is D23 in regards to the release dates for stuff coming out in August is too late. You know, that's not really going to probably have an impact on August's lists. But yeah, August at the minute is looking very, very bad, bad bones. And it says, well, the previous seasons of genius come to Disney Plus in the US. So a lot of the seasons have actually been removed from Disney Plus in other countries as well. I don't know if it's some kind of licensing issue with them being natural geographic. Matt says, do you think they'll add a 20th century search like hub on Disney Plus, not while all the stuff with Hulu's going on? I think they want to get that Hulu hub in there, get people used to it. And maybe then in the future, that's when they open it up and stuff. All right, let's jump into the live chat. Let's see what we have got going on here. Not so I think it's a great idea to add podcasts and music videos and really enjoy and listen to the official podcast. Timmy says, speaking of memberships, how would I upgrade to when you're in YouTube? I believe. And then you basically, I think you can just go on to, on this video itself as well. You'll be able to click on the little thing and below and on like join, and you should be able to adjust it in there, or it will be in your settings. But again, thank you so much for that support. That'd be fantastic if you could. And Katie says, to answer the question of the headline, I will say yes, but with some conditions, it has to be like a sing along or podcast or visuals. Otherwise, it wouldn't be. It shouldn't be. I don't think it's necessary about being exclusive. I think it just makes sense to utilize that content a little bit more. But what trolling says, what to expect from the third quarter call. So this one is happening two days before the 23. So is. I'm not expecting a lot. We are probably, I think we are due to see streaming numbers down a little bit. I don't think they're going to be adding a lot. They aren't going to be profitable. They have a warmness in advance. I think there's going to be a lot of hype for the 23. A lot of just buzzword. I mean, whether or not menu sports is the big thing that they pronounce. The sports stuff with like ESPN hub feels it's too early. You know, you still got, what's that September, October, November might be more time of when they might want to kind of kick things off there. They might mention it. They might mention stuff about password sharing and stuff. But generally, I'm not expecting anything major, because again, the thing is with the quarterlies, they're more about the business side than like entertainment. Sometimes we do put a little bit of one into trying to get the buzz going. But I think a lot of it might be more for the 23. They might put out something major, just to kind of see if they can pump the stock a little bit that day. I'll read that one from film watcher, not so says has Marvel haven't learned his lessons for spoiling every character in the depth of Wolverine in every short trailer includes I've been a boy. Yeah, I did avoid watching the trailer, but I didn't end up seeing that one because it was all over the Internet. And I was like, well, I already know what the spoiler is, I might as well watch it. Yeah, I'm not so keen that they did that. I don't see the reason why they did that. I don't think it was needed. But literally now, first in the morning, got my ticket. I'll be heading to see it on Thursday morning. Film watcher can't wait for the return of earning murders in the morning. I think it's great. I think that's great. As keen says, probably focus on the 23 and also can confirm that they only have genius MLK X. I don't think we've even got that one yet. Okay, let's continue on with the questions rights. Tim says, when do you think Star Wars skeleton crew will premiere on Disney Plus? My guess would be November or December. You would have got Agatha going right through to Halloween. So maybe drop them over like the build up the Thanksgiving could be a way of building it up. Either that or they wait until like December and kind of kick it off then. But I mean, I'm going to be honest. And I have, I have said this to a few other people that I wouldn't be surprised following the failure of the acolyte. If skeleton crew gets bumped to next summer and and all gets bumped to the following summer, and we have a real like knock knock knock knock them all back. So we have to go so long till we get them. So we have to go another year to Star Wars, especially if they're worried that if skeleton crew isn't going to do that. I don't want it to be true, but it would make sense, you know, Ah, soaker season two seems to be away off being recorded. If they wanted to spread it out a little bit. And after the the backlash of acolyte, I want to give Star Wars a little bit of run to to move there. Maybe maybe push skeleton crew back. I mean, they they learned a lot. They might just carry on with the plans regardless. But yeah, I think we're going to go down to one show from Star Wars a year anyway. So, don't know, don't know. Let's do a little poll on that actually. So I asked you earlier what should Disney plus add music 77% of you said yes, not a huge surprise because I think it makes it makes sense. Let's have a little bit of a poll. Let's see if you guys agree with me. When do you think skeleton crew will be released. So I'm going to put November and we'll put December. Oh, I just pressed the wrong button. Hey, I'm going to stop that one. Is that what I pressed the wrong button. That was good. That was it. Oh, I've never done that before. Right. Let's try that one again. All right, when do you think skeleton crew will be released November. I didn't see it. I didn't see it for a long way. Early 2025. Late 2025. I'm not going to be before a photographer anyway so we know that. Right. So there we go. Look at that one. Right. Elliot says what makes a show like Simpsons and Grey's Anatomy so popular. I thought I knew I'd be a never for anybody else knew they would love to have that. And also why does Disney struggle with creating shows that become popular. So let's be honest, creating a TV series that very, very, very popular and can run for 20 plus seasons is not easy. How many have done it. You just have to look around how many shows have made it to 20 seasons, not a lot. You don't get that many get there. There's a reason because to go that long, you have to be continuously good. You have to be continuously evolving. You have to be getting audiences all the time. And it's hard. And if it was that easy, they'd all be doing it. We've got a few approaching coming probably a few now coming up to 20. But these shows are difficult to do that. There are some other issues. I do think we're in a bit of a weird thing of. Actors generally now, a lot of, we've seen a lot of big Hollywood stars have gone into television and started making TV shows because that's where a lot of the industry is shifted to a lot of the, a lot of the big actors as well like the smaller limited say, it's much easier to say like, I'll sign up for this to do this for three, four months. Because if you're doing something like Grey's Anatomy, you're probably doing it for nine to 10 months of the year. It really then cuts into what else you can do. And that can be difficult. So that's always been like Hollywood stars didn't really, you know, like doing TV stuff because of that. So there's that thing. I know that a lot of people like talking about, you know, they want longer seasons again. The trouble is they can't do longer seasons and do a continuous storyline. You can't take one murder mystery and turning it into a 20 season or 20 episode season. It's too long story. It'll be dull and boring. That's why these like single story, one episode, maybe two episodes. And, you know, months of the week, you know, murder of the week kind of stories, they can just keep rolling and rolling. But the audience has kind of got a little bit like, didn't like, you know, people like having these limited series. But I think people are now realizing, you know, there are benefits of having months of the week stories. And I think we are going to probably see a return to a little bit of that. I think, you know, they realize that there is a there is still a market for this stuff. All these limited series are great, but there are downsides to them. And I think it's a thing of like, why is it's difficult because I think now trying to create something that captures your attention is much harder. There's so much competition. You've got video games, you've got mobile phones, you've got social media, you've got other shows, YouTube podcasts, all this stuff going on. And, you know, all of this means that it's eyeballs, your eyeballs are being diverted. And this is what they're all fighting for. They're all trying to get your attention. And it's much harder than it used to be. And to justify the cost, you know, you've also seen a massive shift with, like, Netflix and other streaming services have been like, you know, after a certain amount of seasons, the costs just keep going up and up and up and down, it keeps getting more and more expensive. But also, they're less, they're not bringing in new subscribers anymore. People that are tuning in for Cobra Kai season six. That's not probably going to boost up subscriber numbers so much. You know, they're lucky they got that late because, you know, Netflix was notorious for finishing seasons off. There's also the other element of, I don't think some of the shows are being given long enough. You know, they're being canceled too quickly. They're being thrown to the wolves and thrown to the guard, you know, basically thrown in the tip too quick. You know, when you've got a comedy and you've only put out 10 episodes. It's a comedy sometimes take, you know, a couple of seasons, first of all, to the characters and get used to them. Also, you know, when the seasons were 20, 25 each, you know, that's essentially if they do two of those seasons. That's 50 episodes. That's like five seasons for a new show and it's not seeing it. I don't think it's so much about them struggling creating shows at the popular because Disney are creating shows at the popular. Yeah, only murders in the building, you know, you know, only have to look at some of the stuff that's been like nominated for Emmys this week. They can create amazing show Shogun, they can create stuff. It's just hard to create stuff that will keep rolling. All right. Yep, South Park, The Simpsons Family Guy Spongebobs are a few that have made it the 20 years. Yeah, I mean, we're going to have like, you know, there's, it's going to be difficult. It's going to be difficult to do. Let's see here. Oh, we've got. Okay, so can last. Do you think the no bridge that hacked Disney gave out spoilers for fans. So there's obviously this was earlier last weekend, there was reports for hack and this was a slack. So basically they managed to get in and get a load downloaded load data from slack and they put it up. And it kind of got out there that, you know, that they, that those are all loads of stuff in here and it was full of files and stuff. Well, here we are. So later, have you heard anything, any big stuff come out. I haven't, and I've been trying to look for it. Or like, you know, if there was something juicy in there, I would have thought something would have come out by now. I do know someone that has downloaded that I'm not going to mention who they are because of, you know, reasons, not me because I wasn't touching that thing with a 50 put poll. You know, it's had viruses on it, unsurprisingly, a load of information and that's coding and stuff. This could be a Trojan. They've literally just how low the people download it, infect their computers, and it could be a bluff. I mean, let's be honest, you can't trust hackers. You know, it could be a smoking gum. It could be a smoking gum. I mean, it says they are probably not. Well, I mean, I'm going to put myself in that category anyway, but, you know, I think if you're a hacker, you kind of in that zone. There could be some stuff in there, but it's going to take some time for the things. And at the end of the day, it's like, this is not for, you know, they're not going to get Deadpool versus Wolverine in 4K. You know, the entire skeleton grew series, or the entire Hillary Duff, you know, Lizzie Maguire reboot. They're not all going to be sat there in these folders, just waiting now. And especially at one terabyte. It's just not enough data there. This is, it'll be interesting if anything does come out of it, but the fact that we're over a week later and haven't heard anything does seem a bit weird to me. Danny says, why is young woman in a sea label to the Disney Plus original if in theatrical first. Well, ultimately, this film was developed for Disney Plus, and in some countries, it is actually only available on Disney Plus. It didn't get released everywhere in cinemas. It was a short, limited run, and actually a lot of movies recently have been getting small little runs. Some of the search like picture movies, they had like a week to run. I think the concept of a Disney Plus original doesn't mean to say it's a Disney Plus exclusive. That's the key thing there. Original does not mean exclusive, you know, they can move it around a little bit. And I says, what is your final prediction of how much Deadpool and Wolverine is going to be on the opening weekend. I think it's going to be a big one. I think it's going to be a big one. I think if it hits 200 million, that's going to be huge. I mean, there's been reports that might be bigger. I think it's all over the place. But yeah, I think 200 million. Let me know in the comments, you know, what you guys think. Tim says, well, the 5th season of solo opposites be released at the same time around the world on Disney Plus next month. So we've had no official confirmation. No, and that's for like Australia or anything like that. Yeah, it's, I'm, I'm doubtful. They have done in the Paris where we got a little bit later. Yes, will there be any streaming related attractions at D23? I remember they did a Hulu thing years back. I think there is like pavilions for like Hulu and Disney Plus. And there is a stage for them both. But it looks like the Disney Plus stage is just bluey. There is some stuff going on on the Holy Sage. Yeah, they're going to have interactions and activations and stuff for those in attendance and stuff. So, yeah, that'll be quite normal. Earlier, there is also code. There is also code with the press. I saw a statement from one saying they wouldn't publish anything, even if it's approached by the hackers because this is theft, definitely not viewed as a valid source. Yeah, I mean, that is the thing. There's a lot as well. I think there's a lot of people know that will download it and you know, just put stuff out on YouTube or Twitter, etc, just to get clout, just to get clicks. Also, a lot of, what is it, it's just a lot of it will just be engagement bait and a lot of it will probably be fake. People haven't even looked and just making stuff up just to get more clicks and stuff. Earlier it says, "When will Disney Plus be considered one of the four streaming services?" Well, it already is. It's the third biggest streaming service after sort of Netflix and after Amazon, but I don't really, I don't trust Amazon's Amazon video. They've got like 200 plus million. I don't know. I think there's a lot of people that got Amazon video that don't realize they got Amazon video and I don't think it's a really a spare thing of comparing them. So Disney Plus is in fair place, I think over 150 million. If you include them Hulu, they're over 200 million. Technically, if you merged the two together, they are bigger than Amazon. But I definitely would say Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon are the top three. And then I don't know what you put as the next one because I think it's going to depend on where you are because like in over here in the UK, we don't have Max and we don't have Peacock. So those are gone. Paramount Plus was probably maybe the next big one. Tim says, "When we're out of my mind, Disney Plus, which will movie be released on Disney Plus as it was supposed to get released last year? I wouldn't be surprised if it was August, actually. I think this could be a surprise release." And also, again, we're streaming movies. They don't need to do a big publicity campaign. You know, they can do two weeks, one week of two weeks notice, but a trailer out of the poster route. That's all they're doing. And I have a premiere thing about a boom gone. They ain't spending money on putting posters on billboards and, you know, putting things on taxis and buses and, you know, great big dragons on top of, you know, the Empire State Building, you know, it's going to be a fish, bash, bash, it's gone. Bobak says, "Why weren't the Roosabbers not first in line to direct Avengers 5 and 6? They've mentioned previously they wanted to do it, Secret Wars, and they have a good track record?" I think Marvel was going in a different direction. I think they were... I don't know if they may be the once in a endgame and stuff. They wanted a bit more money, and Marvel was like, "We want to go in a different direction. We want to do something different." I have to wonder, had Marvel carried on with its plans that it set out back at like 2022, like two, three years ago, when we buy now, we're already kind of way burst kind of phase five going into phase six. If we were getting like five TV shows and four movies a year, could you imagine what that would have been like had 2022 in 2023 and 2024 gone as the originally planned, because all the stuff that's coming out in the next two years would already be out. And we've now been getting ready for the first Avengers, Kang Dynasty would be due out in like a year's time, because everything got put back. I think that helped plans have changed, and I think they're going to try and wrap this multiverse thing up, reboot the characters a little bit, bring in the X-Men, reboot like Iron Man, and bring them all back, reset the timeline, and make things simple again. I think this multiverse thing was a bad mistake. I think it was silly for them to do it. I think they overestimated how general audiences would take it. They introduced too many characters, and I think the Avengers stuff, they need to get them all back in line again. They did. I think they did want a new Avengers team. I think they, you know, they were, we were going to see, I don't know, She Hulk, and I don't know who else, She Hulk, Hawkeye, and you know, Miss Marvel, and the Marvels, I think they were going to have this all new team. The audience has gone, it's not. We don't want them. We want, you know, the big stars. And I think they're backtracking me. Mama says, "How do you think Deadpool and Wolverine will affect the MCU going forward since it mentioned that the events in the movie have consequences?" So I think this is going to be more of the multiverse, and I think both Wolverine and Deadpool will probably turn up in the new Avengers movies. And I think by the sounds of it, there was an article. I haven't read it yet because it's been the weekend, but I think the next saga after the multiverse saga is X-Men. So I think this is about, like, closing this off and, like, rebooting it. Keena says, "Do you think Disney will talk about the new Disney+ features at D23 Expo?" Nope. The D23 Expo is not going to be about anything business-related, and even like that, this is just shocking all, like, "Look at these amazing things we've got. They're not going to be interested in telling us about, you know, are they adding a new algorithm?" Or, you know, you're more likely going to get that in a quarterly result, but on the front, if you're in front of, you know, 20,000 people at the Honda Center go, "Hi, everybody. We're going to announce we go." They did the algorithm. It's going to be, like, "Eh, that's not probably going to go down very well." It's just, so, yeah, I wouldn't expect them to kind of do that. Leon says, "Doctor, except to have multiple series and spin-offs are Disney+ up the benefit from that?" I don't know. I've talked about this a bit already this past week in one of the videos. I think Disney are going to jump out of the next exit when they can. I don't think the series is doing very well. I think it's a cheat show for them, but I think they'll jump out. I don't think they'll keep investing in it. It's not pulling in the views. It's just bringing a negative publicity. Everything wrong with Doctor Who gets blamed on Disney. And they'll just be like, "Hey, Leon." Matt says, "What are you looking forward to San Diego Comic Con? Well, I'm not going, obviously." But it's mainly the Marvel presentation. Maybe there might be something there that gets announced. Maybe some teasers and stuff, 20th Century Studios, like three guys, a family guy and stuff. They're going to be there, Doctor Who. There's going to be some stuff coming out. But it's the Marvel show. I need to check what time it's on because I'm going to be getting up early to cover it or go to bed late. Either way, it's the middle of the night to me when it goes on. He couldn't do it nine o'clock in the morning. I mean, on San Diego time, that would be perfect. I've ever said, "In the news this week, let's talk if one of us is going to split." And so the assets, do you believe that report and how it's going to work? Bubba, did you check out one of this week's daily videos? I did actually answer this question in a lot of detail, but I will just say now. I think a lot of this is about not necessarily, I think it's a bit of a con and an accountancy job to lay all the debt onto the linear cable, keep streaming and the movie studios going forward with profitability. That stock price goes up. The other one goes down. They close it off, sell it all off and just write the entire thing off as bad business. It's an accountancy shuffle around. It's probably not going to impact us as viewers. It's just an accountancy to make them more money in the long run. Last of the pre-done questions, and then we'll be live for the rest of the show. If you've got any more questions live or super chats or anything like that, feel free to send them in. Keena says, "We're in the next couple of months. Max and Peacock are going to be the biggest streaming services and viewership due to presidential election and Olympics." Okay. I disagree on that on a couple of folks. First off again, in the US, they may be. Here in the UK, that ain't going to happen. Neither of them exist. Both of them are actually part of Sky. Anyway, the Olympics, right. How many of you, and let's actually, we'll do a poll on this. I'm just going to end that poll about skeleton crew. I think most of you think it's going to be this year, 39% November, 23% December, 29% of you think so. Probably a bit more in line with that. Let's do a poll. Do you watch the Olympics? A lot. A little. Nothing. And only when we win. The medal. Actually, on the news. Because, so here is my thing. First off, I'm not a big sports person. And I view the Olympics as the sports day of the year when you have the whole world comes together for four weeks, or for a few weeks, every four years, to have a sports day. And a load of us watch it, and there's a load of us. And I think a load of people just go along with the fuzz. As soon as we start winning a little bit, people will start watching it. You know, they'll start like, you know, if we're about to win a gold medal, they might, they'll show it. But I think that's it, really. I don't get, I don't. It's like, if everyone was interested in javelin and, you know, hot, hot spots, you know, the high jump. Wouldn't it be on every, you know, a lot? Wouldn't it be on every week? Wouldn't it be something that people follow more regularly and watch? It would be valuable as a sport. If it was that good, why is it only on every four years? You know, I think that's, that's the thing for me. And I think I don't get why they spend so much on the Olympics in terms of it. You know, we obviously, we had the Olympics here in the UK, what, 12 years ago, a lot of hype. So there's nothing, you know, it's, it's, I don't know. It's for me. We only, I mean, on the news, you're only over here about when we're about to win or when they're kind of going for it. And I just think it's a big, just meh. Especially in the middle of the summer here in the BBC, they, they put the Olympics all over the main news because essentially there's nothing else on. They're going to clear the schedules for two, three weeks. So the only thing you can watch on there is people running around a track. It's, I don't know, it's, I don't get it. Yeah. So as you can tell, I'm not a huge fan. I think it's in Paris this year. I don't, I don't really see it. And also a big problem as well for the viewership in the US. Time zones, time zones are going to have an issue on it. So, like, there won't be anything in prime time because obviously evening France, you know, you know, but evening in the France would still only be the afternoon in the US. So that's going to be a problem. And it's similar to summer. They'll probably want to get a lot of stuff done in the morning and in the evenings because of the heat and stuff. But like when, you know, I think like for us, like when it was in Japan, you know, we didn't get the right time. But yeah, I don't think so. I mean, again, you know, like Ken has just said that it's in Los Angeles in 2028. I mean, yeah, when, when you're the host country, you know, there will be an additional buzz and a bit of additional excitement about it. But I don't know. I mean, I'm going to have, I could sit here now. I couldn't tell you probably one or two people that are even competing for the UK in it. I don't know. I don't know. To me, it's just, you know, we're suddenly all the TV people are all experts in like, you know, it's yeah, I don't think it's a big. I don't think it's a big thing. So that's it on the Olympic side of things. And then we've got the presidential election. Okay, who side you vote for or whatever it is that's up to you. This is going to be a big buzz. It is going to have some things I do question whether or not some of the news this week with what happened last weekend might have affected some of the news coming out of like they canceled plans and stuff. But the presidential election is going to have an impact on viewership of news. Obviously, Disney has got ABC news. So they've got their own outlook. They are apparently one of the biggest ones in the US. I know CNN and Fox News, everyone's all going to be drumming up and there will be more viewership. Obviously, as we get into like November, but then it will start ramping up. So there will be some things. And it will have an impact, but the audience is going to be shared around all over the different place on different networks and stuff, depending on what channels you like watching. So it will have an impact. Definitely, but they've all got horses in the race on that one there. Right. Let's do some questions. Let's see what we've got here. Kelly says, what are some of your favorite memories of Bob not. See, I didn't actually know his name. I just recognized. I only really kind of recognized him from elf. That was the only thing I kind of recognized. I think some cameos in big bang theory. So for me, it was just. That was kind of for me of my, I don't think a lot of the stuff. Again, sometimes shows don't transfer over as well. So that was, that's the one for me. Yeah. Yes, I think they will do. I think they will. I think we all part of it. I think the ESPN channels are going to be a little bit more tricky. Yeah, I know he was, but I'll be on the rescuers is not one of those movies that I watched as a kid. Yeah, it was one of those Disney movies. I don't know. I don't know if everybody else has this. Do you have some movies from when you were kids and stuff that were like really popular or maybe running, but from the didn't say from the Disney vote. Do you, is there certain movies that you didn't like or didn't watch as much because I know those definitely is for me. You know, there's like some movies that I watched over and over and over again, you know, jungle book, you know, there will be a jungle book you had aristocrats you had Robin hoods. I'm trying to think of bad, bad knobs and brooms, sticks, Pete's dragon. There are certain ones that I would watch as a kid over and over again. But then there'll be some movies that I just didn't, you know, didn't watch, you know, maybe we didn't, we didn't rent them, you know, maybe they weren't showing on TV so much. But yeah, rescuers was not one that I grew up with as a kid, even though it came out around the time. But also, I don't know, like at the time, like Disney movies were much more, very much more focused, like, and it's, it's, you know, like, that's a gift. That's for girls and that's for boys. And generally, as a kid growing up, I didn't, I had a younger brother. So we didn't really like, it was like things like Little Mermaid and all the princess movies, I didn't watch until I wasn't at it. Because we just didn't watch it last, but yeah, so rescuers was just one I didn't, I didn't particularly watch so much. The one on Antigua says that the moment everything just does get some negative publicity, there's no reason to pull Doctor Who, I love the season they have. I'm glad you liked it. And I enjoyed some of the episodes, there was some that I didn't think that were good, I thought the decision to do Space Baby's first was an awful decision, because that show was awful. Down from that point on, it was hard to get people back into it, especially after the church on Ruby Row, but I thought it was a really good special. That was really good. And then the Space Babies was awful. And I think that's the thing of, yeah, I think there was, I mean, literally at the minute Disney could come out there and Bob I could come out and go like, and go, and go like, what is this? And someone would have a problem with it, and they would be complacent. It would just be, I don't think they can win, no matter what they do. If I think that's the thing right now with Inside Out 2, it's doing really well, it's amazing. And like suddenly now we're always like, we can't complain, you know, there's nothing, they can't do anything with Inside Out 2. There's nothing, there's nothing that's kind of, you know, there was some people trying to make some fuss over like toys about anxiety and stuff. The second biggest animated film of all time, you know, now it's like, yeah, that's it, we can't touch it now. Oh, has he just done that? Has he done it? Oh, yes, okay. I'll be checking the news out. I'm not surprised. Okay, I know you wouldn't care. Yeah, this is this is big. This is this is big news. So I totally understand. Now, actually, to be honest, it does actually have, does have a lot of impact on me. Even though I'm over here, because a lot of my audience is American and stuff, I don't know, try to, I've always been interested in any way. But the policies that are introduced in American stuff do impact me. It's obviously can't have a vote on it, but a lot of the stuff that's introduced and rules and changes and stuff do impact on us right around the world. So it has a lot of impact on it. Right. Public trolling says, do you think Max will add AEW? I think they are in like final, I don't know. I don't know with AEW. I've kind of, I watched the clips on YouTube, but I've kind of, I don't really like the style of it all. There's something, I don't like the bitterness about constantly, constantly like jabbing at WWE. I'm a WWE fan, been a WWE fan since the 1980s, since, you know, WrestleMania 1. But I love the fact that there's a somewhere else, and I love the fact that the wrestlers are being able to have somewhere else to bounce off of WWE, that somewhere else for them to negotiate with, and just for wrestlers to have something else. I think it's really good for them to have competition in the same way with Disney. Universal and Comcast are fantastic for us as Disney fans, because they are pushing them to do better at the theme parks, because they're pushing them to be better. They're pushing them to be better at movies, because of, you know, you've got like dreamworks and stuff. All of this is competition really does help like bring out the best of them. AEW is going to be on, I think, I think it's on Max. Yeah, I think that's what I've been hearing. Right, on that note, obviously a lot of news going on right now, I know if people probably, I know not everyone cares, but it's going to be a big thing for this one here, and obviously it's going to be a lot of stuff happening over this following week. But, so yes, it's going to be, it's going to be crazy, but again, a big thank you to everyone for joining us here on the live stream. I'm just going to have a quick look here at the poll. 41% of you say you watch a lot of the Olympics. 28% say nothing and a little bit of 28. So, kind of split. Right, so again, big thank you to Film Watcher, the only one. Tinkerbell, Knoxwave, Keenan, Caleb, I have a trolling film watcher. Leah, thank you so much for your support. And I've got everybody on this list. Yeah, just a big thank you, my mouth, Matt, big just thank you to everyone. I'll be back during the week, and I'll have new updates. And yeah, thank you so much and see you guys soon. Bye.
