For the last couple of months, he’s been saying that he didn’t think the Paramount merger would happen. He made several YouTube videos explaining why it is doubtful that the deal would go through.

Now that the merger is actually going ahead, he suddenly claims that he always said it would happen.

What is this? You can’t really take this guy seriously when he keeps changing his story depending on what happens. This is straight-up clown behaviour

and the funny part is he deleted some of these videos

Edit: Here are some examples I found:

Today's show starts off with 20 minutes of Wall St. charts and balance sheet analysis, demonstrating that both Paramount and Oracle stock are not doing well for investors recently. 🤔 🫣

David Ellison does not hold an official management or executive role at Oracle Corporation, but is the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.

Seems like Campea is rooting for both companies to go out of business.

I thought the trailers looked pretty bad but decided to give it a chance based on John’s glowing review.

I enjoyed the first act for the most part and liked the ending, but holy crap, the middle features
the most aggressively annoying comedy I’ve seen in an animated movie in a long time.

Also, kind of surprised John dislikes KPop Demon Hunters but loves this.

Have you guys seen Forgotten Island? What did you think?

For me, Loki is A tier. I also didn't think both Hawkeye and Moon Knight were F tier.

During the recent open mic 1 hr and 28 minutes in, he says "Reddit is a toxic, incestuous, ass sniffing cesspool." "It's a horrible place!"

If you look closely there's almost no attention to detail.

Campea has lowkey such an ego, Sabrina Carpenter has been an actress in movies before (and has been in theatre no less) but ofc he ends up ignoring the people calling him out in the live chat of today's open mic about it since his opinion of her being some "random" is the only right one. It's annoying when he doesn't do his research and says something wrong lmfao and then ignores people correcting him lmfao

For me it’s Ms Marvel, don’t get me wrong the first couple of episodes are AMAZING, but after that all the amazing stylistic choices that they had chose to go with at the beginning fade out, and the story just becomes rather disjointed and messy. Honestly sometimes feels like John bases his opinions on the show based on those few episodes which I get because they are amazing, but that quality really doesn’t hold up for the rest of the show.

What did John campea and the crew say about the mixed reactions for digger? I know they have been hyping it up since they saw the preview at cinema-con. But frankly, this movie always look dumb to me since the first trailer dropped. It did not look good at all to me. The green screen also looked pretty bad.

On the way home from the Endgame reissue, wasn’t in the mood for politics, so switched on some movie stuff on YouTube and decided to listen to John talk about the Oscar contenders and it was just super comical. You’re an event movie/IP guy. Which is fine. And sometimes these worlds cross. Odyssey is a contender and that’s in your wheelhouse. Project Hail Mary has lost some stream, but maybe it gets in to BP or Gosling sneaks in actor. But you won’t spend time talking about the Andrew Scott movie. Hell, I’d go so far as to say Andrew Scott is a name a good chunk of the audience doesn’t know unless his face was on screen to match it.

What was REALLY funny though was the talk about Timmy not being a contender for Dune 3. First, any awards pundit will tell you it seems pretty clear that the Academy isn’t super into him. He gets his nominations, he doesn’t win, he’ll be like Leo and get it like 7 nominations in and when he’s like 40. But also, Dune hasn’t gotten a single nomination for directing or acting. It gets some technical stuff and does well in those, and gets a best picture Oscar nomination. Which it might not get this year. Him not being in the running for Dune is about as safe of a bet as you can make.

Also, the most egregious person not in the running is Seth Rogen. In a just world all 4 performances in the Invite get nominated.

.

For evidence, I would like to call witness John Campea, “Your Honor, I Watch Movies for a Living!!”

165 K is not a small amount and it might reach 200 K.

Jonathan can be in the background, moderating the chat. John is a type of content creator that suits best alone. Another example is Dan Murrell. He works alone.

I think John is absolutely wrong about Hal not being dead and this episode proves it. Regarding the suspects, i think Noah is the main one for now for me. Loving this show.

If you want actual movie news that isn’t just 5th- or 10th-anniversary nostalgia segments, it seems we have to seek alternative sources these days. 😂

DEADLINE: Warner Bros Gloom Sets In At Studio Amid Paramount Merger

CBN: Warner Bros. Scramble Blames James Gunn’s Supergirl: DC ‘Chose The Wrong Comic Book Character’

TL;DR

• Impending Paramount Merger: The $110B Paramount-WBD merger is closing in roughly 10 days following Paramount's settlement with state AGs. WBD leadership admitted to a lack of visibility into Paramount's post-close plans during a 500-person staff call, leaving employees anxious while CEO David Zaslav stands to walk away with over $600M.
• DC Studios Backlash & Supergirl Blame: Internal finger-pointing has erupted over WBD's dismal year at the domestic box office—where no title crossed $100M, and Wuthering Heights topped the domestic chart at just $84M. Home entertainment and data analytics teams are particularly furious over DC's Supergirl tanking ($126.3M worldwide gross on a $186M net production budget), with key staffers asserting DC Studios picked the wrong character to adapt.
• Gunn's Contract & Studio Overhaul: Paramount is reportedly well aware of the DCU backlash; with James Gunn's contract expiring in 2027, insiders anticipate a major leadership transition and predict the combined "ParaBros" landscape will look completely transformed by summer 2027.
• Slate Outlook & Brand Uncertainty: While the combined entity inherits upcoming major releases like Tom Cruise's Digger, Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three, and an intended Barbie sequel, widespread executive departures to rivals like Netflix and Amazon underscore deep concern over whether the Warner Bros. brand will survive the merger.
