   Happy 214 and now even more. Hallelujah. I like SS 2016 Extended for what it is fine but I am all about that #AyerCut now. What song would he choose for a trailer as Bad Moon Rising is already taken?

   Dear Hollywood. You need content for those streaming apps. How about looking back at the times “it all went wrong” and have detectors or at least professional editors go back to show the true version. It worked wonders for the reputation of the torn apart but still profitable Alien 3, kinda.

     If you listen to my Suicide Squad episode it suggests Ayer should break ranks and ask for his cut, but in retrospect, Snyder’s long game was more effective because at the end of the day you still need their cooperation to get your cut; you can’t *just* be “Naughty” (song at the end of that episode).

     While it’s important to build support and momentum for Ayer, the single biggest catalyst will be the SUCCESS of the Snyder Cut AFTER release. At lot of people feel we’ve won with the inevitable release- and we have- but if it want to go any further it has to prove to be a successful enterprise beyond the press bump, the marketing stunt, and cloistered excitement. If the eyes and money actually follow then they’ll throw away their pride in a second over any mistakes with Ayer to monetize the cut.

     If the Snyder Cut remains only an oddity and a stunt, then the lofty principles alone won’t be enough to bring back his cut without basically rebuilding a new movement which is a big ask of the fates and stars.

     I’m rambling.

     Basically: If you want to see the Ayer cut, I’d argue the best bet is to sell Zack Snyder’s Justice League hard, persuade as many people as possible of its worth, value, and interest… so Warner gets this is not just a one-shot deal but a no-brainer to repeat.

   thanks for your amazing podcast, i really appreciate what you do and actually got the news of snyder cut happening from your mailing list.

   i never watched the theatrical cut of justice league because i didn’t want to see a half-baked rushed out frankenstein of a movie.

   the snyder cut will be better no matter what, because it’s the vision of the creator and not a design by committee product, i can’t wait to see it.

     Thank you for listening! I’m glad I could bring you the good news!

     I envy your position, despite all the distance I’ve put between myself and that other version, comparison will probably be unavoidable. With 4 hours of content, though, it should make the other thing a faded bad memory only masochists revisit (maybe a little like the Star Wars Holiday Special or 80s Marvel movies, hah).

       yeah it was a blessing in disguise, i live in iran and no foreign movies are shown here and we usually have to wait for the home release to watch them and by that time it was obvious i needed to avoid it.

       i’m sure the wait will be worth it and it can undo all the wrongs things that the other thing put you guys thru.
