Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day, and of course happy almost-Thanksgiving weekend to all my American friends, who basically stop working at about Noon on Wednesday and don't go back to work until Monday (unless of course you work in retail, in which case... thoughts and prayers). It's also the TWO HUNDREDTH piece of Bonus content! Enjoy!
Within the last year, Warner Bros has "shelved" three movies, including Batgirl, a Scooby Doo movie, and Coyote vs Acme, opting to take a tax write-off rather than release the finished films. And so, the Internet believes these films should now belong to the general public, because "we paid for them!" Buckley explains how tax write-offs actually work.

I think that pause screen "accountant" is Irwin R. Shyster i.e. IRS from the WWE or WWF depending on your age. I would be curious to see just how bad the "Batgirl" movie is given that they gave "The Flash" the green light and we all know how horrible that was.

Perhaps Larry needs an Accountant friend... Arty the Aardvark Accountant or something.

When you started talking about how tax writeoffs work I really hoped for Larry the Legal Eagle to pop up

I listen to a movie and tv show podcast called the weekly planet and how they explained it is that it’s less about saving that 30 million but all the other money that comes with releasing a movie, paying royalties, paying actors their cuts, paying the various associations that require you to pay them to show your movie, and the biggest expense of course being marketing,but that’s just what I heard from the podcast particularly about batgirl, and I trust James and mason
