lol WB made a whole loving movie, the execs never watched it, no one tried to sell it to anyone, and now they're deleting it for the tax write-off
My favorite WB move has been someone actually looking briefly at the Batgirl movie and deciding that, even based on the hilariously low standards of WB/DC movies, it was a piece of crap and that even Michael Keaton would not make them enough money over just writing the whole mess off for taxes.

batgirl was destined to fail. the first 90 minutes of the film was all origin story about how a pro softball teams batgirl (the person who retrieves the bats after a hit) gets bitten by a radioactive bat and she slowly turns into a giant bat while keeping her job as a batgirl. she doesnt fight crime even once. batman shows up and for a second you think “ok finally something is happening” but he just buys a stadium dog and leaves. its ridiculous and no wonder they cancelled the project. i did enjoy the 30 minute scene of softball analysis about how they can utilize a woman turning into a giant bat to help the team.

Without linking stuff or writing a screed, whats the deal with film companies writing off unreleased anticipated flops? Like do they just get to extract the whole production budget off their tax dues if their books are technically in the red at years end?

It was set up to fail from the very beginning. A brand new actress playing the main character in a superhero movie that seemingly wasn't connected to any other superhero movies being done by WB (they had Michael Keaton reprising Batman possibly as a set up for The Flash back when someone thought that might take off).

I think we all were amazed by the Mastadon Men but as time passes, it keeps recurring as one of the strangest things I've ever seen. It's truly, utterly bizarre.

How the hell did it get made? How did they start off with the premise "Let's make a cartoon advocating for kids to eat dairy" and end up with four pornographically muscular elephant-human hybrids putting out a school fire then sucking a mouse through the computer to go line dancing?

It's like they all got together and then woke up six months later with an artifact to the powerful dangers of cocaine psychosis.

Probably a bunch of dairy industry subsidy money needed to be spent, and someone's advertising firm/animation studio/organized crime front needed business.

Add a delusion that Mastodon Men would be the next California Raisins, and you've got a stew on.

not a great track record for superhero success for game of thrones alumni but probably not worse than the avg given how comic book movies have been going since then. movies and tv in general really. everything tbh. hahaha what a world, what a world

Prominently featuring one of the Game of Thrones actors and scheduled for release in April of 2018, during the absolute peak of the show's popularity. Then Disney bought Fox and it got pushed back until March 2020, well after the final season managed to kill all the show's goodwill and popularity.

I literally never make these, despite being in the discord, because I have no idea how voice channels work and I'm always too anxious that I'll somehow end up joining and loving up the audio somehow. I might try tonight, though. RIP Carl.

Also, Good Bad Flix did a video running down some of his lesser-known films.

(That youtube channel is so weird, btw. It's such a weird mix of high-effort and low-effort that I can never really place it properly.)

I think you can say that for any project involving the younger stars of the GoT alumni - they all stink because they were hired as teenagers and just weren't good. They're really shown up by the seasoned veterans they work with in that show...

Also, at least from the examples shown in that clip, it's clear that Mike and Jay don't know what drum and bass is...

I think you can turn off the mic? I don't know. I've never heard anyone talking (audibly) on there when I've jumped on. Like I don't think the default is your mic is live.

I tend to miss them too because I forget, but I want to see Action Jackson so I think I'll try to time it to catch that one at least.
