If you had to take over the life of one sitcom character, who would it be?

What was the most difficult film to wait out your NDA, because you wanted to talk about a film, that you were negative or had positive thoughts about?

8:44 Rich Catarino

What sport are you passionate about and why? I love watching and playing soccer but I don’t follow a particular club. I’ll watch football but again I don’t follow any particular team. Just can’t connect to it like I do comics/movies/cartoons.

Do you think it would be smart for NBCUniversal to put heavier emphasis on their DreamWorks and Illumination properties when they launch Peacock? This seems like a big advantage over Warner and CBS, but their emphasis seems to be on their old and new comedy shows.

I dont know if this has been asked already in the past, I cant really remember. Are you a Doughnut guy or a Muffin guy? Also, being such an incredibly hard worker with the Show, and really keeping strong with your routine, I'd like to know how much of a factor coffee plays in your daily life? If it's not coffee (or not just coffee) what do you do to keep yourself fit, healthy, but also focused on everything that you need to be focused on?

This a follow up question stemming from the most recent Off-Topic episode: As a child of the 80s and 90s, whenever I heard that something was going direct to home video, it was usually a sign that it was either hastily made, wasn't a film that a studio believed in, wasn't very good, or for whatever other reason, just wasn't really suited for a wide-release in theaters (there are plenty of old Disney sequels that come to mind). With the streaming-era in full swing, seeing more and more movies go direct to streaming is going to become part of the norm in the entertainment world (if it isn't already). With the children of the 80s and 90s now being adults, do you think this is a perception that studios are or should be worried about? What do you see as the main differences between the direct to home video movies of the 80s and 90s and the 21st century movies that will go direct to streaming that won't make audiences think that when a movie doesn't get a theater release, it means there's a lack of quality?

Are you a Doctor Who fan?

Who’s your favorite Batman villain?

Do film studios have insurance policies in place for epidemics or pandemics?

34:08 Steven

What are you most excited for on HBO Max? What would be your first nostalgia watch on the service?

36:38 David Rosen

As pretty much all the major studios, especially Disney, will be in a different place monetarily from where they were when the whole corona virus situation started, do you think that could change the budgetary decisions that are made, including possibly how much studios are willing to pay actors, when things get back to normal?

What else are you watching? I watched all 8 episodes of The Witcher and I don’t even know why. It was fine. But it wasn’t to me what it is to others. I can only rewatch my favorite comedies so many times before wanting something new no more how much of a genius Mike Schur is.

Disney and Marvel Studios have pulled Black Widow from its May 1 release date and suspended all active productions due to the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19). These include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki right now, but even more upcoming productions could be impacted. Obviously, none of these impacts are of primary concern with respect to COVID-19, but they are signs of how our way of life has changed for the time being and it's okay for fans to feel disappointed. This news, of course, is relevant to this podcast, so host Sean Gerber delivers his full analysis of these stories and more in this episode.
