The producers pushing AI dubs are *absolutely* gonna try again. The tech will improve. It will be important for fans to make their voices heard when--not if--but *when* that happens.
As this video says, it'll be important for us to tell AI, "Stay in your lane."

Another excellent video about AI and the broader problems beyond just "it sounds bad lol."

Saw WAKE UP DEAD MAN. Perverse that Rian Johnson would make such an ambitious crowd pleaser knowing it's only going to get a half-assed release from Netflix. Starting with Daniel Craig's winking, flamboyant performance, every aspect of the film is designed to be enjoyed in a packed movie theater.

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

A fun fact about the Candyman movies is that the first two had a renowned Bee Guy doing Bee Wrangling for the films but with the third movie Candyman Day of the Dead being low budget they assumed they couldn’t afford the renowned Bee Man but he was like “no…this is about the bees” and came back
