[ha ha ha ha] > I don't want them to be doomed. I want Eiger and company to change their ways and concentrate on making good movies/shows that the viewers want to see and quit worrying so much about DEI. If you want to test that out then pick a movie/show and put your DEI and marketing efforts into that show/movie and see if it can draw in new audiences. If it can't then putting DEI forward as the most important agenda for any new show or movie seems like a horrible idea. >> Joe Flaherty Dies: ‘SCTV’ And ‘Freaks And Geeks’ Actor Was 82  (April 2) >> >> https://deadline.com/2024/04/joe-flaherty-dead-1235873973/ > >:( > >Though 82 is a pretty good run.
