been seeing a lot of "WTF what is this show on Quibi how did this even happen" tweets, and the answer is: this is what happens when you give creatives insane budgets for things they can never take anywhere else

Hollywood people aren't crazy. They just understand that Quibi is either incredibly stupid or so ahead of the curve nobody can understand it yet, and in either scenario trying to just make great, traditional work is kind of pointless.

Like, nobody is talking about that Quibi show with Liam Hemsworth that's just five-minute increments of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, because that's just... you know, we all understand that.

WHY would you want to watch such a story in five-minute increments? You wouldn't and don't. So make your weird thing about a talking sex doll being friends with Anna Kendrick, because it's still a paycheque from dumb VCs and you get to see if it works.

Plus, you know, Quibi is an end-run around most Hollywood unions and everybody knows that so they're not really interested in trying to make it successful anyway. Just take the rich people's money and have some fun.
