    I'm so glad you didn't edit out the troubleshooting, Dave. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣

    I'd definitely love to see this show more often! Maybe a monthly box office discussion? I'd even watch it weekly.

    The fact that Dave got cut off at the end was just the cherry on top of everything else that happened. The troubleshooting was truly gripping viewing.

    Scott asking if David could see him and Dave just not looking at all was hilarious

    Truly, this is beautiful. The look of defeat on David Chen when saw he was back to using the truly awful sounding headset microphone.

      I can’t agree with the choice to keep in 20+ minutes of audio troubleshooting, but “the look of defeat” was soul-stirring!

      @@ort2299 Those 20+ minutes are the soul of the piece! Why would you mess with perfection?

    The first 21 minutes of this is the greatest piece of content you have ever produced. Comedic genius.

    Dave this is truly so much more entertaining that I could have possibly expected from 18mins in so far

    Even though he had to eat some crow at the beginning, I always love hearing Scott talk box office.

    Can’t wait for the new spinoff ‘Troubleshooting with Chen.’

    Ha. “5 Months Ago”… When David started calling him on the phone, I started playing the theme to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE… 😅… in my head.

    So damn funny watching the audio setup. Dave’s setup is legit, Scott’s was the comedic inverse. 😂

    When Nolan left WB, the trades all reported that he had issues with Tenet’s handling, not just project popcorn. That’s why they later sent him a good faith bonus check of 7 figures.

    This is awesome. I caught a bit live, but now I can hear the entire work of art in all its glory!

    Hilarious show, the look of resignation & defeat on Dave's face at certain times :) Completely take on board Scott's point about movies with black leads doing better overseas than was unfortunately thought historically possible, BUT even the more successful movies of recent years with multiple black leads (not just Will Smith on his own) like both Black Panther & Spider-Verse movies, all 3 Creed movies, The Woman King as well as all 3 of Jordan Peele's movies have all struggled to fit the traditional 40/60 domestic/foreign splits of similar movies! There's a pattern here and this can't solely be down to over-performance domestically for all these movies?!

    Am I the only one who finds Mendelson's constant interrupting and talking over Dave infinitely more annoying in this stream, than his tech issues? At least the tech issues are funny. I legit lost it when the chipmunk voice kicked in.

    Wait...what?
    You don't care if a movie's box-office is "astroturfed"??? Seems like a serious concerned to me.
