Remember that Michael Milken (the junk bond king) in late 80’s received a $500 Million bonus. Drexel Burnham Lambert told WSJ that he generated $5 Billion in earnings that year and 10% of that was reasonable bonus. Thus Taylor referring to less than 10% of Axe Capital’s net earnings being reasonable was in line with Wall Street thinking
Needs to talk about the stories more and the writing more. They just like talking about behind the scenes stuff that no one cares about (like how great the boom operator is...)
the show is fine, often intelligently written and witty.; however, the podcast is abysmal, a long exercise in self-aggrandizement. So disappointed. How about some critical anaylsis, some dicussion over controversial or provocative plot and/or character development. Sharing the difficulties filming more intersting than everyone and everything masterfully crushing it. Brian, you sound like Clyde using three adjectives for a simple drive into the paint. C'mon, you're a Dylan fan.
Billions is my favorite show right now, but we need some Dan Soder on this podcast
I get the idea of having show runners go over their show should be appealing. But guess what, it doesn’t work. No one cares about the process of a show, maybe some film school kids, but no one looking to be entertained. Just talk about the episode the characters, and the story in the billion’s universe, how it interacts with real world, pop culture references, etc. Make it fun, this listen is anything but.
