Veo 3 Makes Yesterday’s Best Look Like a Beta Test + Runway & Midjourney Check-In
Midjourney Fast Hours, Episode 40
After a short hiatus (blame conferences and caffeine dependency), the Rory Flynn and Drew Brucker break down Google’s shiny new Flow suite — with its Veo 3 video model, sound + dialogue generation, and confusing-as-hell product naming. They talk strategy, cost, coherence, and why it still feels like Midjourney has that “magic dust” no one else can replicate.
Along the way: Runway love, layering hacks, JSON secrets, interior design with arrows, and 3D dogs with job titles. It’s fun. It’s weird. It’s chaotic. But you’ll probably walk away with 3 ideas you want to try right away.
Also, someone paid $125 just to tell you whether it's worth it. (You're welcome.)
