HomeUnited StatesDavid Cross Says His Paramount+ Series With Bob Odenkirk Was Dropped Because ‘Marketing and Analytics’ Rejected It: ‘They Have All the F—ing Power’
Companies expect instant success, with instant viewership, but are simultaneously unwilling to invest time and effort in building said audiences. They are exhausting good will producing garbage while ensuring they don’t gain any more of it. lol.
Paramount plus is deadset on killing fan base favorite comedies. Workaholics movie, this one, seems they are trying to yeet comedy central’s relevance out of existence
This is why these movie studios steaming platforms will all fail.. the people doing the marketing and analytics are not artists and don’t understand anything about what they are selling
The OG vision of the Web was to get rid of middlemen or are we forgetting the triple word score jargon of the 90s: *disintermediate?*
These two should put their show out on Vimeo and sell the BlueRay in their merch store. Smash the like button and don’t forget to subscribe.
Im not sure this is a full replacement for a proper streaming service paycheck … but maybe?
I’m a marketer and I’ve never worked anywhere where the marketing department had that much power over business decisions. Also wild they said no to this. Very sad.
Meanwhile, we have the 2nd season of Velma and more seasons of Rings of Power on the way
The Netflix revival of Mr Show was hot garbage. So the marketing and analytics people were probably right.
I would have loved their show, but marketing and analytics were probably right. Who else should have the power? Some producer and his “gut”?
They have a marketing and analytics department and still did Halo?
Sounds like it would have been good, eggheads don’t know everything
I have never once in all the things I’ve seen him in thought that that dude on the left was funny. He is so incredibly UNFUNNY to me.
this epitomizes what’s wrong with the entertainment industry. Creatives have lost all power and pencil pushers are making all the creative decisions. At some point we as consumers have to make the point to these people that algorithms can’t write scripts
