…and I’m just like “I can’t hear them! I can’t hear what they’re saying! I can’t let what they’re saying resonate,” and really absorb it and kinda listen. And I’m imagining those scenes with the music plucked out… and the 95% of the audience that will get up and leave because it’s too boring[…]—Mike
The 225th episode of Half in the Bag is an overview on the state of Hollywood and blockbuster films, centered around the release of the biopic Oppenheimer.
Topics include the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the Barbenheimer experience, and the saturation of streaming services. Generally, the episode features disdain for the modern theater system.
Mike provides a miniature Trivia interlude, titled Is the review for Barbie or Oppenheimer? Jay briefly derides Christopher Nolan’s previous film, Tenet.
Description[edit | edit source]
Happy Barbenheimer everyone! Watch as these two elderly losers stall for half the video before finally discussing what some are calling the best movie of the year: Oppenheimer! In addition to that, Mike and Jay discuss the ongoing writer and actor strikes as well as it’s consequences on movies, theaters, streamers, audiences, and most importantly what effect it will have on David Zaslav. Won’t someone please think of poor David Zaslav?!
David Zaslav is the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, who is pictured on the thumbnail for this episode.
