The most “common problem” facing the industry right now is the orchestrated theatre of misery caused by endless Zoom meetings. So, what does the esteemed Cons Council propose by way of a salve?
What a time to have a crack at someone ‘Ever Relevant’. Zoom/Teams/Skype are the new reality, there’s nothing the Comms Council can do about that. But bringing some good people together to chat in a way that might help others, that’s pretty cool. Everyone won’t like it, not everyone will find it valuable, but if a few people do, it’s worth doing right now.
Paul Head’s background is so hilarious! He should do stand-up.
I think the idea was great but the execution is really weak. The guy playing Mowday was totally unconvincing, the Paul Head character was far too good looking to be Paul and who wrote this nonsense. You can tell that nobodies proud, there’s no credits.
This would be much better if it followed the format of an MTV Roast with Vegas as the host/roast-master.
Okay, zoomer.
