Tom O'Brien, how about you?

Well, Matt, to be positive, it's not the worst Disney live action remake, and that's about it.

It's probably for me the most annoying because it's such a piece of lazy filmmaking.

I mean, you had one job, to take that m- magical Polynesian world that was built through animation and to reveal characters and their culture and just bring it into live action.

And on almost, I think almost every artistic decision here, it falls short.

You know, take the water scenes, for example.

I mean, they were so vibrant in the animated version.

[laughs]

And

that's why I guess the government feel that there needs to be some sort of an obligation to help incentivize the procurement of this domestic production.

Because I think what shouldn't be lost in all of this is that there's a whole host of benefits for Ireland if we have a viable biomethane industry.

I spoke earlier today about the report that the EPA issued last week about water quality in the country, where we still have a major water quality issue because of the off-run of phosphates and nitrates and waterways from Irish agriculture.

How biomethane industry could help that by diverting hundreds of tons, millions of tons of waste.

There's also concerns about transport and our reliance on fossil fuels.

We have a solution there potentially via CNG.

What does that do for the confidence of the sector? But also, you know, from a developer's point of view, what are you targeting in terms of an ROI? You know, really, are you looking at 10 years or shorter because you don't have that certainty?

You had me in the first half, I'm not gonna lie.

You see, the writer comes out again.

You know what I mean? [laughs] Now we're in act three.

[laughs] And you can see early on, you, you...

The themes of the film, the environmental neglect is, is, is started in act one and pays off later.

The corporate monopoly, especially the loss of human connection, the, you know, holding hands, the just the, the s- the human touch even among machines, and the resilience, the hope of a single bud growing.

It's all there in the first act and it pays off this time really well for me in, in act, in the, in the, the last part.

And let's talk about what this first act just gets right.

What have you been enjoying lately? [laughs]

[laughs] Now- now this is the award show that's really heating up.

Uh, we've got, uh, quite a lot of interesting races going on.

Uh, and, uh, some really hot new shows.

The question will be, can any of them break through in the series category, for example? Because you have a lot of returning series, and there's only eight slots.

And w- w- what can break in, if anything can break in? And that's gonna be one of the more interesting questions of, uh, of the, uh, the race this year.

Um, for example, I mean, the, in the comedy series race, you've got six returning shows and, uh, [laughs] it's, you know, and of- out of eight, and it's, uh, you've got Hacks, um, Only Murders, Abbott, Bear, The Bear, uh, and, um, Nobody Wants This, and Shrinking.

We haven't yet, but it's, we're it's getting close to his final show.

He was drawn to his dormmate from Savannah right away.

away.I, I could tell he was a good guy.

I could tell he was a funny guy.

And plus, he had such a distinctive laugh.

It would start in the, in the bowels of a cave, and, and just build and roar.

It, I don't know that I can duplicate it.

(laughs) It just rolled out like that, and lasted about 10 seconds.

Overland Park was an upper-class, extremely segregated suburb of Kansas City.
