Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Daily. Today is Wednesday, November 6th, 2024.

My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at slashfilm.com. And today marks the one-year anniversary

of the return of Slashfilm Daily. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to have this

direct line to you all every day and to host this podcast and create a place where we can try to

gather and better understand the entertainment and pop culture that we love and care about.

I love the challenge of putting together a show every day.

And although the high volume nature of this show means that oftentimes it feels like we're

putting the train tracks down in front of us a millisecond before going over them. It's my favorite part of my job.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for listening.

Thank you for writing emails to us with great questions that help inspire conversations.

Thank you for messaging me on Instagram or blue sky or threads to say something about the show. Thank you for

engaging with SlashFaM Daily in any way. It means a lot to me, and I hope to keep hearing from you

for as long as we're able to keep this thing going. Unfortunately, today also marks the start of

great uncertainty about the future direction of this country. This is not a

politics podcast, but the election last night has the potential to reshape many of our lives

in ways that I don't think we're able to fully comprehend yet. There are plenty of places where

you can hear people who are much smarter than me talk about the

absolutely dire implications of what just happened. So I'm not going to turn this into some kind

of galvanizing speech or anything, mostly because I'm personally finding it extremely difficult

to have any hope right now. But I know a lot of you listening to this are hurting and you're scared and you're disgusted and you're angry.

And I just wanted to say that as isolating as those feelings are, you're not alone.

We're with you.
