That they do. Watching Rob do his job is just a pleasure. Watching James do his job, Vaslav, I mean, it's such a pleasure. I got to watch James do several takes with Rob. A piece of the. The kind of opening interrogation scene and the minute facial control that James has, the kind of decisions that he's making as he's filming the movement of the body, how he's swirling the glass in that first scene. Like all that stuff is thought out and it really is an art. It really is not, you know, somebody sitting in the back room and just kind of, you know, gears are moving and then here's the product. Watching people who really know what they're doing, it's amazing to watch them really perform their craft. So when we dropped Run, Hide, Fight Infidels as a company, there was a lot in the news cycle about these Islamist friendly candidates, these terror friendly candidates who are about to be in Congress come January. And that sort of coincided with the news cycle. Do you think something similar could be happening now with confession, where the. The commies amongst us are coming out of the woodwork or feeling a little bolder lately? And do you think that will draw more excitement towards the film also? Maybe. Apart from that, how is Run Hide Fight Infidels separate? And apart from confession as a daily wire production? I mean, listen, Run, Hide, Fight Infidels is red meat. And everybody would acknowledge that it's red meat. It's fun, but it's red meat. Right? I mean, it's designed to be open in its politics. It's designed to basically, you know, cater to people who believe that the unsayable thing should be said, right? Which is that radical Islam is dangerous and that Hollywood hasn't done enough about that. And to really take on the issue of radical Islam in that way, Confession is a completely different thing. It is a work of art. It is designed to really discuss and delve into deep human issues. I mean, at the end of the day, yes, the thing is about the issues that it's discussing. Communism and God and art and all those, but it's really about the characters. And so if you're not actually generating the discussion out of character, then you're doing it wrong. It's just people in a room talking about art. It makes no difference. If it's people whose motivations are rooted in all of that. It's a completely different thing. Could it hit the zeitgeist? Yeah, sure. I mean, the fact is that we're living in a cultural moment in which basically the entire younger generation doesn't even know the Soviet Union existed, has no idea what communism in practice actually looks like, has a rosy view of some of the worst regimes in human history. But also there's this sort of radically anti Christian mood that has taken hold, a sort of militantly anti Christian mood, and again, reminding people of what it is that.
