I do feel bad for the many people within the industry that rely on the Hollywood industry for income, but just being honest, with everything that’s been coming out about Hollywood’s serious issues with children, and the whole casting couch dynamic, and people within the industry that participate or turn a blind eye to the things they see, make it very hard to want to support the industry. Hollywood needs a reckoning for the destruction it has caused in people’s lives. I hate that innocent people might be affected, but the problems are too big to ignore and consumers don’t want to put their money behind it anymore.

This election isn’t just about Trump or Harris-it’s about the future of America. Trump has the experience and strength to restore common sense and put the country back on track. Kamala Harris, with her failed policies and radical agenda, would lead us further into chaos. It’s time to unite and support a leader who truly cares about America and its people. Vote Trump to Make America Great Again.

I am sorry for your misfortune, but the handwriting has been on the wall there for 20+ years. You should consider living somewhere else, especially if there is no work holding you there anymore.
Well isn’t this unusual. American workers who held an unassailable position in an industry that was the leader in its field. Think autos , manufacturing, and cinema. You’ve only got yourself to blame and your obscene requirements for permitting . Your absurd wage and salary demands. It’s going going gone and it’s not coming back
It reminds me of the housing crisis and the first affected with job losses were the ones working in the housing industry. It took two years if not more for people to get on their feet and they lost everything. On the other hand the film industry started to push an agenda that most Americans disagree. Now he’s saying that it’s not political. Ha! Also the content is horrible starting with reality TV. I stopped watching regular programming more than a decade ago and now I chose what I want to watch thanks to streamline programming. Nobody likes to be fed content with an agenda. Hollywood had a huge platform that could have been used better. They have no idea the cultural impact they had on the rest of the world.

Getting tired of hearing Hollywood members/lobbyists complain about having to now work ordinary jobs: Uber, cleaners, grocers, hosts and waiters, plumbers, boot shiners, etc. --- so very privileged and entitled as to complain about labor others would kill to do. The first speaker is way more humble and aware, but the second guest doesn't even realize how arrogant and awful he sounds to us outsiders. Pretentious and disgusting.
@@bobbycrosby9765 Yes, but elitists like this guy don't represent those ordinary jobs; they represent the aristocracy of society: "woe is me!" My grandfather worked to come here by restoring shoes with a toothbrush, bucket, and wax polish.... and this guy's whining about actors having to transfer to real labor.
My great-grandmother scrubbed floors for the wealthy. No one owes you a living. I was unemployed for half of 2020. It was abrupt and we should all be prepared just in case.
I've discovered Korean and Japanese movies/shows. They're better than Hollywood. The best thing is, when US woke activists demand DEI, the Korean and Japanese companies say "what?" So they focus on the story and acting.
These folks expect us to slop down garbage and praise them for it. The arrogance & entitlement is so thinly veiled. Write an original story that isn’t shoving a political agenda down our throats. Maybe try that for a change and see if more tickets sell? The belly aching from these tone-deaf industry people is nauseating…
Good riddins....Stopped watching Hollywood crap a long time ago. And now with the redundant bs propaganda. 🤮The rest of the world produces some great dramas, movies, anime. Stories are so much better. Characters so much better. I have never looked back. "Hollywood" culture has been nothing but rot for over 20 years.
AWESOME: After decades of ignoring foreign movies, companies like Amazon are finally betting on less expensive foreign productions. Having American film stars in a movie is loosing meaning. Why to have new movies anyway. There is more movies out there already that a person can watch in several lifetimes. Plus there are many other far better entertainment choices.
I have the perfect solution for these people. Apply at McDonald's. Learn to code. Get a real job. Pretending to be important people while demanding that you are an important person isn't working anymore. We're sick and tired of these entitled brats! They hate us? We hate them and we're the paying customer.
I work in the industry and I’m sorry, the blatant agenda in the writing is so bad it kills the story. No one wants to be preached to. Thats why I am making my own animated content that is entertaining instead of agenda driven. Also you dont fight tax credits with tax credits of your own. You penalize the studio more than the tax credits they receive. Tax payers shouldnt fund movie making. There is a better smarter way.
When I was growing up in Burbank, the great jobs were Lockheed, and the studios. It seems everybody’s dad worked at Lockheed or the studios. Great benefits, great wages. Great neighborhoods, great schools. No more. The rich live in our neighborhood homes
Wow. They messed up so bad. Great to have an inside angle with him. One of the demands should've been for California to have more aggressive incentives.
If thid guy doesn't believe there is an ideological problem here he's in to deep. He's worried about the average middle class person not having a job. How does he think DEI impacts WHO can get a job? To even be considered for an Oscar a movie has to have a certain makeup of people based upon ideology.
I've read today's Los Angeles described as another city of Detroit with better weather. Or maybe that should be updated to "another city of San Francisco without the fog." fwiw, the city of Detroit has been largely of the political left since the late 1950s. That's over half a century. The city of Chicago in the past 3 years has gone from a liberal mayor to a hard-left mayor. NYC has been a bit more of the opposite (from Bill DeBlasio to Eric Adams). Wash, rinse & repeat

Been In The Biz For 45 Years, Run Away Production From Hollywood Starting In The 90'll, Losing Major Tv & Film Productions To Canada! Unions & Legislatures Dropped The Ball & Didn't Pay Attention To This Flight, The Unions Just Focused On Organizing Canada Instead Of Keeping The Work In Hollywood. Now It's Too Late! We Need To Replace ALL Management Protecting The Industry In Hollywood, California & Now The USA!

Take action on foreign nations? What? When the producers are the ones going abroad? No, penalize the producers if they go abroad of course. Does this guy here himself? He wants to bring business back to the U.S., great, but his problem are his bosses who he is afraid to directly confront. Are foreign countries forcing this guy's bosses to NOT shoot here?
The issue is the divide between capital (studios and producers) and labor. They are doing the same offshoring that Bill Clinton did. The policy must be to bring back all the jobs to the U.S. That means state and Federal are going to have to adjust tax incentives and deregulate. It would be nice to rein in the greed as well. Sure the financiers are taking the risk. Frankly a better business model is needed. Spielberg gets no money but he gets a percentage of the gross or net. That spreads the risk.
From the outside, the chaos of the "temporary film" industry that the industry holds in high regard... looks like poor planning that leads to inefficient use of resources and overstaffing. Its complicated, I get it, film isnt the only complicated process.
I am finding it difficult to have 'special' sympathy for this industry and it's unfortunate crew members. Many of us have gone through the same, or are still in dire straights (me)....just different industries or professions. When he talks about legislation regarding currency manipulation.....good luck with that buddy - I think you just went way out of your lane.
The reason is blatantly obvious. It’s a massive loss in talent, which is partly but not wholly driven by woke culture. It’s also driven by artificially lifting certain people (anyone but white Christians) into the film industry instead of using natural selection. Watch any movie from 1985, literally any movie. Then watch a critically acclaimed movie from the 2020’s. Mind boggling. Every movie now is cheap low IQ action thriller. Or cheesy victimhood drama or romance. Perverted low class dialogue and scenes. Low quality use of the English language. And everyone tries to use the same junk sarcasm for humor which is cringe-worthy.
Maybe putting out content that's worth watching, it's been too many years since something good came out. I'm also disgusted of most celebrities, I won't pay to see them. This has nothing to do with wages, just blaming as usual.
I own DVDs so I don't go to movies or pay for streaming. Most of the movies are no good anyway and I feel most people don't feel like they are missing much. CA hates business, period.
Thank you for watching California Insider and giving your candid feedback. We are covering what is happening to the people who work in this industry... Most of the workers in this space have no control over the quality of the content.
@@California.Insider OK. So if that's true why isn't he yelling about the content of Hollywood sucking so badly that we don't want to see it or support it? THAT is what he should be saying if he is actually trying to support the workers on films. Buy he didn't. And it was not a mistake. And I'm very upset there was no push back on the content produced. No challenge that the slowdown is due to the content telling the populous is evil and should be hated and removed from our society. Neglecting of corse that this society was built by those same people. So that's an issue. No question as to the direction of the industry. What they keep pushing. How that is directly a result of the actual product those who make it. No self accountability is not getting my sympathy.
@@California.Insider Lastly look at the quality of the product itself. Lord of the Rings Trilogy was made in early 2000s. And nothing has come remotely close to that production value. And it wasn't made in the USA either. Today's films actually look worse while costing more. The quality has nosedive. The people who are better at making products get the money. We aren't anymore. Not remotely close.
Start producing positive family content and then I’ll consider purchasing your content. There is decent content on you tube that has much better meaning that what Hollywood is pushing out and it’s free!
So it's not California v. California? Seems like they produce films people don't like. Idk, isn't girl power the answer? I'm good with the classics and I own physical copies.

This election isn’t just about Trump or Harris-it’s about the future of America. Trump has the experience and strength to restore common sense and put the country back on track. Kamala Harris, with her failed policies and radical agenda, would lead us further into chaos. It’s time to unite and support a leader who truly cares about America and its people.
Vote Trump to Make America Great Again.
Kamala is just a puppet, there is nothing radical about her. She can't even express herself or state what her policies are.
Our problems started way before Biden. What has Trump done for Cali during his tenure?
@@MbisonBalrog What has Calif done for Trump other than vote against him? And weren't prices a lot lower when Trump was president?
@@hurryandleave9680 lol prices been rising since before Trump. Trump did not bring prices down to pre GWOT levels.
@@MbisonBalrog Inflation has been much worse under Biden/Harris. You can't hide that fact. People know what things were like under Trump, and they know what things have been like under Biden/Harris. Your pathetic attempt to gaslight people won't work.
Try voting for someone different! Maybe it could help.
What future are we leaving behind to the next gen? All good paying jobs are going overseas, AI, or Automation.
He’s advocating for his industry warning us about other countries that don’t share our values making films. That confuses me. He’s talking about an industry that’s been taken over by GLAAD, hard-core man-hating feminists, BLM, and the crazy environmentalists to force feed us their unhinged woke ideology. He has a compelling back story, but I’m still withholding my dollars until they start creating relatable, American-proud content.
Maybe I would give a fck if your industry stopped pushing Dei, feminist propaganda.
Also, this guy didn't say anything convincing. A lot of nothings.
Well, to be fair I was unaware that a Neutron Bomb had been detonated in Hollywood until he said it. 😉
Over bloating the industry, is due to the CCA's involvement and the continuous pushing of the propaganda, ideology adgenda of the bigger machine and apparatus at work.
@@bms9144 You obviously don't work in Hollywood. I am a 36 year year prop man veteran. I was an A list prop man, only 30% of us were working. It is not business friendly in Hollywood anymore. when people like Kamala Harris and Bass attack businesses to "Pay their fair share" they leave. the fair share was keeping everyone employed and making a product. Trickle down economics works. I was a Union rep for decades, we can't keep asking for better wages and not give producers tax incentives and a business friendly city and state. We have been under Democrat's control in this town for decades. Own up to the failure and change your voting habits.
@RandySeverino Randy, you are right I don't work in Hollywood. You are completely off base with my voting habits however.
The guest said it was like a "literal neutron bomb hit Los Angeles" because he doesn't understand the meaning of the word "literal" or just chooses to misuse it. So my comment was meant as humorous sarcasm of his mangling of English, and no more.
I left California to get away from the idiots you think I vote for. I am sorry for your misfortune, but the handwriting has been on the wall there for 20+ years. You should consider living somewhere else, especially if there is no work holding you there anymore.
Well isn’t this unusual. American workers who held an unassailable position in an industry that was the leader in its field. Think autos , manufacturing, and cinema.
You’ve only got yourself to blame and your obscene requirements for permitting . Your absurd wage and salary demands.
It’s going going gone and it’s not coming back
California fell for the propaganda hahah
Welcome to the rest of the world competing on a global scale
It reminds me of the housing crisis and the first affected with job losses were the ones working in the housing industry. It took two years if not more for people to get on their feet and they lost everything. On the other hand the film industry started to push an agenda that most Americans disagree. Now he’s saying that it’s not political. Ha! Also the content is horrible starting with reality TV. I stopped watching regular programming more than a decade ago and now I chose what I want to watch thanks to streamline programming. Nobody likes to be fed content with an agenda. Hollywood had a huge platform that could have been used better. They have no idea the cultural impact they had on the rest of the world.
High skilled people learn to adapt and make it work
The rest of the country had to. Maybe stop voting blue no matter who?
@@jerryrn5571 engine runs smooth only on all cylinders, when you pick and choose which cylinder should run it divides the cylinders and operates poorly.
Surprisingly poor job on doing this interview which looked more like providing this whining union guy with a soap box.
I'm about half way through this video and I'm betting by the end he will be calling for government subsidies for film makers.
A couple weeks ago it was the CA winemakers. Newsom sucks and so does the state government.
24:50 they can go be bus drivers! Vested in pension after FIVE YEARS of service! Constant work! Hit full pay of over $40 an hour in 4 years!
Getting tired of hearing Hollywood members/lobbyists complain about having to now work ordinary jobs: Uber, cleaners, grocers, hosts and waiters, plumbers, boot shiners, etc. --- so very privileged and entitled as to complain about labor others would kill to do. The first speaker is way more humble and aware, but the second guest doesn't even realize how arrogant and awful he sounds to us outsiders. Pretentious and disgusting.
Hollywood mostly consists of normal jobs.
@@bobbycrosby9765 Yes, but elitists like this guy don't represent those ordinary jobs; they represent the aristocracy of society: "woe is me!" My grandfather worked to come here by restoring shoes with a toothbrush, bucket, and wax polish.... and this guy's whining about actors having to transfer to real labor.
My great-grandmother scrubbed floors for the wealthy. No one owes you a living. I was unemployed for half of 2020. It was abrupt and we should all be prepared just in case.
I've discovered Korean and Japanese movies/shows. They're better than Hollywood.
The best thing is, when US woke activists demand DEI, the Korean and Japanese companies say "what?"
So they focus on the story and acting.
These folks expect us to slop down garbage and praise them for it. The arrogance & entitlement is so thinly veiled. Write an original story that isn’t shoving a political agenda down our throats. Maybe try that for a change and see if more tickets sell? The belly aching from these tone-deaf industry people is nauseating…
Good riddins....Stopped watching Hollywood crap a long time ago. And now with the redundant bs propaganda. 🤮The rest of the world produces some great dramas, movies, anime. Stories are so much better. Characters so much better. I have never looked back. "Hollywood" culture has been nothing but rot for over 20 years.
AWESOME: After decades of ignoring foreign movies, companies like Amazon are finally betting on less expensive foreign productions. Having American film stars in a movie is loosing meaning. Why to have new movies anyway. There is more movies out there already that a person can watch in several lifetimes. Plus there are many other far better entertainment choices.
I have the perfect solution for these people. Apply at McDonald's. Learn to code. Get a real job. Pretending to be important people while demanding that you are an important person isn't working anymore. We're sick and tired of these entitled brats! They hate us? We hate them and we're the paying customer.
@@MamaMOB YUP!!!!!
I miss when shows used to have around 24 episodes per season. Now, we only get 8.
I work in the industry and I’m sorry, the blatant agenda in the writing is so bad it kills the story. No one wants to be preached to. Thats why I am making my own animated content that is entertaining instead of agenda driven. Also you dont fight tax credits with tax credits of your own. You penalize the studio more than the tax credits they receive. Tax payers shouldnt fund movie making. There is a better smarter way.
The movie industry has become a propaganda machine more so than it’s ever been in my lifetime, it’s killing it self with wokeness.
@@56Spookdog Facts!!!
They only produce garbage now days, i canceled my TV and entertainment
@@56Spookdog what is wokeness
Focus on good writing and good scripts instead of bs for juvenile minds.
They won’t, it’s a bubble. He said it himself
They should read the comments if they want to.understand why they're failing.
Please please stop. You're putting out garbage. Leave hollywood and do something else. God has a plan for you.
Hollywood is cess pool of pedophiles and drug use. This channel is a breath of fresh, truthful air.
@@ThemanisredThis episode sure wasn't. Been watching it since the beginning.
This was an AWFUL interview. No push back. Just "yes sir."
When I was growing up in Burbank, the great jobs were Lockheed, and the studios. It seems everybody’s dad worked at Lockheed or the studios. Great benefits, great wages. Great neighborhoods, great schools. No more. The rich live in our neighborhood homes
And we are done with Hollywood. Cant remember the last time I went to a movie. Should have stayed out of politics. Oh well.
It's so much worse than anyone really knows....it's virtually DEAD.
remember when he said 2019 was a great year ? Who was President at the time?
Wow. They messed up so bad. Great to have an inside angle with him. One of the demands should've been for California to have more aggressive incentives.
The industry went woke and is failing and we Americans really just don’t care, I cheer every time I look at Disney stock value
They put out trash and everything is propaganda
CA is just bad at helping business' compete and thrive.
If thid guy doesn't believe there is an ideological problem here he's in to deep.
He's worried about the average middle class person not having a job. How does he think DEI impacts WHO can get a job?
To even be considered for an Oscar a movie has to have a certain makeup of people based upon ideology.

I've read today's Los Angeles described as another city of Detroit with better weather. Or maybe that should be updated to "another city of San Francisco without the fog." fwiw, the city of Detroit has been largely of the political left since the late 1950s. That's over half a century. The city of Chicago in the past 3 years has gone from a liberal mayor to a hard-left mayor. NYC has been a bit more of the opposite (from Bill DeBlasio to Eric Adams). Wash, rinse & repeat

If you're so highly skilled with logistics you can actually get jobs in the industry of are you ready for it.....
LOGISTICS!!
These are people who write and tell me I'm evil. You forgot to bring that up.
Bro.. they would need the contacts in the logistics business and how to operate it at a low price.. thats another ballgame.
@@RafaelsFlix I'm talking about skills. Skills are skills. You got it or you don't.
This guy says they got it. So get a job at UPS. Logistics is kinda their thing. Show how you used logistics to get a package from one spot to another in a difficult situation.
Reputation. Like my mentor Charles H. Joffe says, “In the end all you have is your word.”
this is a joke. go set up your industry in another state and stop being anti-American and maybe you can build an audience.
Been In The Biz For 45 Years, Run Away Production From Hollywood Starting In The 90'll, Losing Major Tv & Film Productions To Canada! Unions & Legislatures Dropped The Ball & Didn't Pay Attention To This Flight, The Unions Just Focused On Organizing Canada Instead Of Keeping The Work In Hollywood. Now It's Too Late! We Need To Replace ALL Management Protecting The Industry In Hollywood, California & Now The USA! We Now Are Forced To Use Imoort Taxes To Stop The Influx Of Finished Productions Made Outside Of The USA! Like I Said The Entire Labor Management ( Legislative IATSE SAG DGA TWG) Needs To Be Completely Replaced With Pro Business Minded Republicans 👍 🇺🇸
Do people not know they only lived in Hollywood cause it California and perfect weather doesn't mean they work there
Too expensive to even make a movie in California.
Take action on foreign nations? What? When the producers are the ones going abroad? No, penalize the producers if they go abroad of course. Does this guy here himself? He wants to bring business back to the U.S., great, but his problem are his bosses who he is afraid to directly confront. Are foreign countries forcing this guy's bosses to NOT shoot here?
Great conversation. And I want to add, many movies are below mediocre and these movies are skipped by the audience.
Who cares. Horrible movies, bad acting, and cheap propaganda! Good bye….
Great interviews! Thanks
Glad you like them!
One Great Depression coming up
Learn to code hollywood
Hollywood went woke, now they are broke😂
Such an evil industry, done feel sorry for them one bit.
Report it to your Vice President of DEI. They'll get right on it. What did South Park say? Put a chick in it and....
Good job getting rid of the film industry I gave my blood sweat and tears for.
This problem started 25 years ago.
This is sad. That was a lot of justification for why we should care, but it's not going to change. And it is a political issue, blame Democrats.
The issue is the divide between capital (studios and producers) and labor. They are doing the same offshoring that Bill Clinton did. The policy must be to bring back all the jobs to the U.S. That means state and Federal are going to have to adjust tax incentives and deregulate. It would be nice to rein in the greed as well. Sure the financiers are taking the risk. Frankly a better business model is needed. Spielberg gets no money but he gets a percentage of the gross or net. That spreads the risk.
New Mexico state said they are expecting lots of movies coming here in the state... whatever I think Hollywood and New Mexico Hollywood suck
Great show. Please do other shows on the film industry. Also please bring Patrick Caligiuri back.
Hollywood you gotta love it. Thay had 30 years just watching off shoring but did nothing. Didn't affect them. Did it now.
From the outside, the chaos of the "temporary film" industry that the industry holds in high regard... looks like poor planning that leads to inefficient use of resources and overstaffing. Its complicated, I get it, film isnt the only complicated process.
My family mainly watches pre-2018 movies now. Most recent content is DEI garbage, we just dont even let it in our home.
I am finding it difficult to have 'special' sympathy for this industry and it's unfortunate crew members. Many of us have gone through the same, or are still in dire straights (me)....just different industries or professions. When he talks about legislation regarding currency manipulation.....good luck with that buddy - I think you just went way out of your lane.
The reason is blatantly obvious. It’s a massive loss in talent, which is partly but not wholly driven by woke culture. It’s also driven by artificially lifting certain people (anyone but white Christians) into the film industry instead of using natural selection. Watch any movie from 1985, literally any movie. Then watch a critically acclaimed movie from the 2020’s. Mind boggling. Every movie now is cheap low IQ action thriller. Or cheesy victimhood drama or romance. Perverted low class dialogue and scenes. Low quality use of the English language. And everyone tries to use the same junk sarcasm for humor which is cringe-worthy.
Maybe putting out content that's worth watching, it's been too many years since something good came out. I'm also disgusted of most celebrities, I won't pay to see them. This has nothing to do with wages, just blaming as usual.
Great interview
make shows like Mr Inbeteween and we would watch. I'm not watching the woke crap
"Literally a neutron bomb for the film industry."
I own DVDs so I don't go to movies or pay for streaming. Most of the movies are no good anyway and I feel most people don't feel like they are missing much. CA hates business, period.
Please bring David Graves back for other shows.
My 1st ever downvote for this channel.
Very disappointed in the lack of knowledge and no push back by our host.
Boo.
Thank you for watching California Insider and giving your candid feedback. We are covering what is happening to the people who work in this industry... Most of the workers in this space have no control over the quality of the content.
@@California.Insider OK. So if that's true why isn't he yelling about the content of Hollywood sucking so badly that we don't want to see it or support it?
THAT is what he should be saying if he is actually trying to support the workers on films.
Buy he didn't. And it was not a mistake. And I'm very upset there was no push back on the content produced.
No challenge that the slowdown is due to the content telling the populous is evil and should be hated and removed from our society.
Neglecting of corse that this society was built by those same people.
So that's an issue. No question as to the direction of the industry. What they keep pushing. How that is directly a result of the actual product those who make it.
No self accountability is not getting my sympathy.
@@California.Insider Lastly look at the quality of the product itself. Lord of the Rings Trilogy was made in early 2000s. And nothing has come remotely close to that production value.
And it wasn't made in the USA either.
Today's films actually look worse while costing more. The quality has nosedive.
The people who are better at making products get the money. We aren't anymore. Not remotely close.
Another quote by Charlie: “A broadcaster has nothing if they don’t have innovation.” (Charlie won an Oscar for “Annie Hall.”)
Start producing positive family content and then I’ll consider purchasing your content. There is decent content on you tube that has much better meaning that what Hollywood is pushing out and it’s free!
Hollywood is a ghost town.
Dear Hollywood,
I’m gone!
So it's not California v. California? Seems like they produce films people don't like. Idk, isn't girl power the answer?
I'm good with the classics and I own physical copies.
