So it sounds like nobody in this thread looked at the actual article.
This isn’t chic-fil-a. It’s the homophobic bigoted billionaire asshole who has turned a town south of atlanta georgia to a 2.7 billion dollar movie making industry by building a movie making compound. He’s trying to usurp hollywood. His studios have been the filming location for many major blockbuster movies in the past several years.
The article even mentions that the guy has sold 200 homes to the tune of 110 million dollars right by the studios so obviously he’s diversifying beyond chicken.
If there’s a market for christian shit i’m sure he’ll capture it, but i’m sure they will focus on what sells. Maybe they will try to be the epic games of streaming services where they undercut the competition by hiring cheaper labor and taking a smaller cut from the people who pay to use the studios the guy owns.
Unlike steam, nobody loves netflix, disney, hbo or any of the awful streaming services there are now. Even crunchyroll which is a bargain has a fucking awful app and streaming quality issues. Since you don’t “own” the movies on the platform you rent access to there’s no lock-in or cult following like there is with steam. Because of all this… people will go to whoever provides the best service.
Sounds like they’re trying to compete with Pureflix, which is already a Christian streaming service.

If the target audience is the evangelicals everything will be rated PG at most and it will conform to right wing echo chamber politics and scruples. This sounds like a “Disney is too woke so let’s do it ourselves” proposal. It might succeed with that audience but they can’t go beyond it or those people throw a fit. And the market is too crowded to try to do what the other streamers do. It will be filled with Hallmark level Christmas movies and tame/lame rip offs of other studios content.

There is and he absolutely will. The market for “Christian” specific everything is huge. People that buy that sorta shit also generally don’t know what a good product actually is so costs can be cut and noone’s the wiser.
See: Everything Kevin Sorbo has done since 1996.
Nah Christian movies are almost always the direct-to-dvd type of junk that you find in a $3 bin somewhere. The only one I can even think to name is Sound of Freedom and that wasn’t even so much Christian as it was right-wing fantasy. The studio that made it is a Christian studio, however.

I would have thought the same thing a month ago. When I was looking for an opera, I stumbled on where I think this stuff is shoveled. Here’s 35 christian movies shown in theaters likely near you in since May 2022.
Me: “what is Fat Home Vents…?”
Me, 5 seconds later: “ohhhhh”
Seems you read an entirely different article…
Chick-fil-A is reportedly launching a
but that is apparently what Chick-fil-A (yes, the fast food chain) is planning to do.
Deadline reports that Chick-fil-A is
Chick-fil-A has yet to announce or publicly comment
All the article OP posted mentions, beyond saying Chick-fil-A is doing this, is:
But it feels important to bear in mind that Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios – the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.
I’m not disputing what you’ve said about who’s actually behind this; but to talk down to everyone here like that info was already given to them is rather shitty.
They already run what seems to be every other post on Reddit, so why not streaming, too.
Sorry what do you mean by this?
So, you know how Reddit has posts? Well something like 53% of those Reddit posts are posted by chick-fil-a agents for various reasons.
Ever since they won the chicken sandwich wars of the early 20s they’ve been focused on invading media spaces, often quite aggressively.
Reddit is essentially a chicken sandwich propaganda wing of the massive chicken chain at this point, still quite a bit of porn though luckily. Can’t say I’m looking forward to chicken sandwich porn 🤷♂️

Pepperidge farm remembers (shudder).
They may have won the chicken sandwich wars, but Taco Bell will be the only restaurant to survive the franchise wars.
And with no more competition, they’ll go all fancy. Makes one wonder where you’d be able to get a decent burger anymore.
The sewer people. They’ve got an underground barbecue going.
Chicken sandwich porn? When Popeyes came out with their sandwich, there was a trending video on Pornhub soon after titled “PAWG let me Fuck her for a Popeyes Chicken Sandwich”. The Internet beat you to that.
Burger King already tried the subservient chicken thing.
If you go to Reddit, you will inevitably very quickly come by posts that seem to be from regular users, but are actually fill-a ads.
Funny thing happened and I just happened to be eating their food when I filmed it. We did a thing and it failed at other joints but succeeded at their place. My dog can do a cool thing with their box, etc etc.
It feels like they have an army of as people dedicated to creating this content.
It started soon after they got a lot of bad press for finding anti-LGBTQ organizations. Instead of changing their ways, they decided to change their image through social media posts and largely succeeded. Most people associate their brand with good times now, even though they don’t know why.
Much like whenever US police murders someone, Web gets flooded with memes and videos of cops doing fun things and being generally great fun.
Advertisers and AI bots have taken over reddit ever since Google made them the new SEO technique.
Steaming Service. For steamed chicken.
Unless they have discovered a way to beam a chicken sandwich over the airwaves, through my TV and into my mouth this seems like the most pointless thing ever.
This is what Edward Enigma was doing, but general brainwashing instead.
Nothing says “family fun” quite so well as content provided by homophobic chicken sandwich dealers.
I’d rather support Los Pollos Hermanos.
At least they have the decency to keep their shit behind closed doors.
Can’t I’m pretty certain Wonka still has the patent.
If they beamed the sandwich, you’d still get the diarrhea. So just discard this and check out the competition instead, maybe.
The tops in boys. Short everything. Capitalism has finally reached the endgame.
Oh I do so fervently wish this blessing on the entire globe!
I hate the ownershit of Chick Fil A so very much, the Cathy’s are awful homophobic born agains who’ve donated millions to anti lgbtq+ legislation in the united states, and third world nations, that still does so much harm today. Someone nicknamed it Hate Chicken, and that’s all I’ve ever considered it since. Hate Chicken. Fuck a Chick Fil A.
Hate Chicken. Fuck a Chick Fil A.
Fuck a Fil A.
There, you’re welcome:-).
And yet gen z despite being the queerest generation yet, gorges themselves there. Mindless consumerism
I like to call it dick fil a.
They’re gonna make soooooo much cult money from this.
It’ll be unavailable on Sundays.
Family friendly unscripted programs.
Are we talking '90s Nickelodeon, or real housewives of the rust belt?
We should be so lucky to get 90s Nickelodeon! No, I think the article said it’s going to be mostly original programming so it’s a safe bet whatever it is will be like Hallmark on steroids
Hallmark is an abomination to everything decent in the world. The movie channel, not the cards I mean:-).
Also, I’m literally struggling imagining how it could possibly get more saccharine than it already is?! Hasn’t it reached peak levels of evilness already, at which point where would they even go from there?
Probably just videos where you watch gay people get beat up (nonbinary and such would be too confusing to them to even watch). So “Christian” S&M.
Oh wow, this might steal the attention of the five people who watch Pure Flix /s
So, they are trying to speed run the failure of McDonald’s experiment with Redbox. Instead of creating a massively successful brand that eventually gets bought up and run into the ground by Christian nutjobs, the Christian nutjobs are starting a video business to crater on their own.
Redbox wasn’t a failure. It was actually quite profitable in its day. It just got outclassed by streaming, as did every physical media rental service. I don’t know if Netflix even sends discs out anymore, if they do I’d bet money that it’s severely less than what it once was.
Sept 29, 2023, the last DVD to go out was True Grit.
I looked it up cause I remember reading about it ending fairly recently.
Oh good, more content to pirate.
It does feel like one of those situations where the hate watching parties for the worst produced content might be a big enough percentage to rocket that content to the front page of their app.
Assuming it’s a free service, anyway. Which I guess seems unlikely, of late.
Sounds like it’ll be family friendly game shows and Christian reality TV.
Honestly, that might actually be a profitable model that they could make work, if they don’t fuck the infrastructure up, or allow cousin Billy expose himself to female contestants on 3 different reality shows they’re producing.
I mean everyone else is… Why the hell not!
Is it called Flick-fil-A?
They should hire you instead of whoever came up with the bonehead idea of starting a streaming service.
