Inside The Crazy Ant Farm

From the summit of the Paramount mountain to the depths of Hollywood’s biggest headlines, ITCAF is climbing higher than ever this week.The guys are diving straight into the Paramount/Skydance merger as David Ellison officially takes the reins, laying out a bold plan to restore the studio to its former glory. With Top Gun 3 soaring high on the priority list, and revivals of Star Trek, Transformers, and G.I. Joe on deck, Ellison’s message is clear: great filmmakers make great movies, and theaters come first. And as long as Tom Cruise is in the mix, more high-octane blockbusters are guaranteed.But that’s just the start! The Duffer Brothers could be bringing their storytelling power to Paramount, Cindy Holland is making her stance known: “Made-for-streaming movies are not a priority for me,” signaling a shift away from direct-to-streaming films, Taylor Sheridan, along with Paramount, is building a Texas-sized production empire, and Paramount Plus just locked a $7.7 billion UFC deal that will reshape fight nights forever. Add in a Scary Movie revival, The Running Man delay, and Wall Street going meme-stock wild with PSKY shares, and you’ve got one of the most game-changing mergers in years.Plus, we hit you with our Top 5 Films That Got Us Excited, a full box office recap, and the hottest movers on the IMDb Top Trenders list.It’s big. It’s bold. It’s crazy. It’s ITCAF.Chapters: News Tease 0:00Intro Music 2:00Show Open 2:21Paramount News and Discussion 4:13Top 5 Films That Got Us Excited 44:29Box Office 1:13:07IMDb Pro Top Trending 1:16:18Goodbyes 1:16:50Follow Us Here:Website: https://crazyantmedia.comMerchandise: https://crazyantmedia.com/crazy-ant-merchandiseOur first film, Deadlines: https://crazyantmedia.com/deadlinesPodcasts:ITCAFpodcast:Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/itcafpodcast/id1644145531Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1tf6L0e7vO9xnVtWaip67s?si=tYPrIVr_R36qpYns4qeZ8gEverything’s Okay Podcast:Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everythings-okay/id1664547993Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uMm80MW4K50f8uURgVUYp?si=9mF7mwf_Qe-ZDqKBhEovMgSocial Media:ITCAFpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/itcafpodcast?s=21&t=q0HdFq3CPkXBzVYHYdJW6wInstagram: https://instagram.com/itcafpodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRLQ7hHn/Everything’s OkayTwitter: https://twitter.com/everythingsokp?s=21&t=ckQqBvyxz3lYqKHLrI6peAInstagram: https://instagram.com/everythingsokp?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Crazy Ant MediaTwitter: https://twitter.com/crazyantmedia?s=21&t=q0HdFq3CPkXBzVYHYdJW6wInstagram: https://instagram.com/crazyantmedia?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRLQP1c1/Logan (Left)Twitter: https://twitter.com/jloganaustin?s=21&t=ckQqBvyxz3lYqKHLrI6peAInstagram: https://instagram.com/jloganaustin?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@j.loganaustin?_t=8ZMB9Hp1yxf&_r=1Dustin (Right)Twitter: https://twitter.com/crazyantceo?s=21&t=ckQqBvyxz3lYqKHLrI6peAInstagram: https://instagram.com/crazyantceo?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crazyantceo?_t=8ZMB84k7BUM&_r=1

This week on ITCAF, the guys dive headfirst into a Hollywood shake-up of epic proportions.First up, Lilo & Stitch is crushing it at the box office, but what does its success mean for the future of live-action remakes? Are the Mouse House's re-imaginings finally back in the game?Then, the indie underdog Sinners keeps racking up cash and breaking expectations, proving that original content still has teeth.
