That's some real commitment to transphobia! Though I am once again reminding you that you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them."

Love my trans comrades! :trans-heart:

    Filming a fucking standup special should cost nothing. You out cameras in a room that you already charged people to be in.

      Most specials are shot over several nights and use highly skilled operators from a bunch of different angles. Video editing, sound mixing, color grading, etc. Someone does set design and lighting design and all of this has to be coordinated. I’m not saying it’s impossible to do a DIY camera-in-the-back deal. Tony Hinchcliffe did it. But he did it as a schtick, not because he couldn’t afford a camera op.

      As it stands, almost all that cost is going to labor and it’s not all going to Dave Chappelle. People below the line on any production deserve solidarity and recognition is all I’m saying.

        Okay fine it's still significantly less than any other production and the extras paid to be there.

        There's still no way they used more of that than Squid Game unless S. Korea workers are just played that little.

        I apologize. I have brain damage from listening to years of chapo parodies and reading series and some phrases set me off.
