Yep. I have a couple channels I’ve subscribed to that went dark for a while, then posted a new video and I was “who is this in my subscriptions feed?” And have to go through their video history to figure out why I subscribed. Mikey? I think about Mikey regularly, eagerly anticipating the next amazing video, no matter how long it takes.

I love how companies being merged with can take on tons of debt to finance the merger if they like the company they're being merged with. Like, I want you to adopt me, so here's four hundred million dollars to help buy me. Where'd I get it? A loan. It'll be your loan, sure, but hey, the shareholders getting that money won't care. The _bagholders_ on the other hand... MGM's leadership might have gotten in hot water (you know, a wrist slap) back in the 80s for this, but today? Nah, Musk can mortgage twitter for money to buy out the board and nobody even thinks to mention it, much less send the SEC in to smack him around with a yardstick.

What a fantastic breakdown of a fascinating industry story. I really appreciated how balanced your critique was of the business side of Hollywood, and the recognition that the artists can't make their work if they don't have a successful business to support them. It's frustrating how, in the modern world, it seems that both sides have forgotten that balance.

Groucho Marx kept on making movies after Thalberg’s death, but never with the same passion. He and Thalberg were responsible for how good A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races were. Thalberg would send the brothers out on the road to vaudeville houses, like early standup shows, to test and refine their material, so when they came back to film, the bits were a well-oiled machine.
