Month: January 2020

Good afternoon.

This is THE BIG ONE.

Manka Bros. – the World’s Largest Media Company (and getting bigger every day!) is planting the biggest fucking content flag in Hollywood… suck on that!

As you all know, Manka Bros. announced we are going over-the-top with a new SVOD service MankaGoNow. We made the announcement over a year ago and we’re finally getting close to launch.

AND WHAT A LAUNCH IT WILL BE!

In 2020, Manka Bros. will be producing OVER 400(!) new multi-year series, event series, mini-series, animated series, feature films, documentaries, reality shows, talk shows… every goddamned format on the planet – and it’s ONLY available on MankaGoNow – the soon to be world’s largest (and, therefore, best) OTT service.

That’s not a platitude – that’s a motherf-ing fact!

[MB Lawyer note: Whether that’s a fact or not is TBD.]

We read everyday the exorbitant numbers being spent on new content: Netflix spending $12 billion a year; Amazon spending $8 billion a year… Disney, HBO Max, Peacock, etc. Every day it’s some new crazy number.

But from what we’ve seen so far, they are all producing bull shit and WE are produce good shit. So suck that again, Hollywood!

And don’t get me started on Jeffrey Katzenberg’s silly little streaming folly that will lose investors at least $2 billion!

At Manka Bros., we are taking an opposite (read: smarter) approach – MORE CONTENT FOR LESS MONEY!

We must have heard over a seven hundred pitches – but only four hundred or so made the cut and got a greenlight!

It’s a long… long… long list – more content produced in one year that any studio ever!

So get yourself comfortable, grab a glass of wine or do a line of coke (whatever your thing might be) and get ready to SUBSCRIBE!

[MB Lawyer note: We don’t recommend any of the above behavior. Alcohol and drugs are bad. Also, some shows below are still under contract negotiation and are only being announced under a mutual agreement between the parties involved.]
