Have Ted Sarandos and David Ellison Ever Worked Together?

There is a war going on, and the stakes could not be higher! On one side, you have a rich white guy who is trying to make his massive company even bigger and likely ruin countless lives in the process. On the other side, you have basically the same thing, but that rich white guy is also trying to impress his daddy. But boy oh boy has it gotten pretty cutthroat! The Daddy’s Boy is stomping his feet so hard that other tantrums seem quaint in comparison, and the other guy is getting yelled at for being “woke” despite that… not being the case.

Surely these two wealthy whites can find something in common, right?! Can’t they put down their lav mics and talk to each other instead of about each other?! Perhaps they just need to meet? Life can get pretty hectic, especially when you spend so much time kissing the ass of a racist wannabe king, but I bet if we get these two in a room, they can just hash things out. It’s not like they once worked on a movie together that no one remembers in the— Hold on… I’m picking up a thread I intentionally left dangling.

Have you ever heard of The Adam Project?! C’mon, you remember! The Adam Project! Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Garner ring any bells? Zoe Saldaña and Catherine Keener are in it, too? The Adam Project! It’s about time travel or something, I think?! It dropped on Netflix in 2022. What else were you doing?! Guys, Shawn Levy directed it! The Adam Project, guys!

Well, I swear it’s real. But why is it relevant? I was initially planning to write about the current President’s recent claims that he will be staying out of the war over Warner Bros. (which is currently putting the aforementioned white men at odds with each other). I don’t buy it for a second, especially since he said he would leave it up to the Department of Justice, which has gone out of its way to be his own personal revenge squad. If that dementia-addled crybaby wants to tip the scales, he will, even if he says he won’t.

But in searching for a picture for the header, I happened upon a group shot from the premiere of The Adam Project. Not only was it further proof that it is a movie that exists, but it also gave this story a whole new wrinkle. In the picture, I was stunned to see not only the stars of this mega-hit of a film (okay, that’s too far), but also both cash-rich Caucasians that I’ve been talking about this whole time: Ted Sarandos and David Ellison.

It turns out that Ellison was a producer on TAP (that’s what all the sper fans call it). Since the film was made for Netflix (and, therefore, people doing laundry), the man who is now attempting to sully the good name of Ted “Movie Theater Are For Elites” Sarrandos once had to work with him. That must make this whole thing pretty awkward, right?! Or is it more likely they will just be back to being all buddy-buddy in their rich guy club when the dust settles on this nonsense in 2027 (if we’re lucky)? My guess is the latter.
