Jason Blum did not invent this concept of like, I need to see how it's going to look on camera. Jaws kind of the flip example where Bruce, the shark, the mechanic barely worked and so Spielberg's Spielberg was like, you know what? Let's just not show the shark on camera. That was necessity because the shark was malfunctioning most of the time. And makes it more Hitchcock like we don't see it. Like being able to create your own from scratch is massively valuable in 2023.
Molly and Jason kick off the show by discussing the concept of 'quiet hiring' (1:53) and the SEC's proposed rules making it easier for LPs to sue VCs (9:37). They also cover Semafor's buyback of Sam Bankman-Fried's $10M investment (20:50). And Lon Harris is back to discuss the new box office hit M3GAN (31:00) and the premiere of The Last of Us (45:45).
