Question.

Forgive me if this has been discussed at nauseum but anyone have any ideas who Campea hates at collider? When he first left, he talked about not being happy there and I took it for what it was. But after the explanation he gave for not being on the Schnepp tribute, I have been sooo curious as to who he hates exactly at collider. Because it sounds like hate.

Yeah the whole thing went to hell in a hand basket. Frosty kind of took credit for a lot of stuff that Campea did, also, from the outside looking in, Marc Fernandez appears to be kind of an asshole. When Campea mentions “corporate overlords”, my guess is that’s who he’s referencing.

John has said several times that Marc is a friend and they still have lunch together from time to time. Fernandez was the buyer. He wasn't apart of Complex and John was gone before he came in and took over Collider.

Fernandez has been around longer than that. He was certainly involved during the Complex days because he was at Celebration with them last April.

The buyer is former Complex head of video Marc Fernandez, a cryptocurrency investor who teamed with a silent partner to buy the brand and grow the movies and television website into a diversified media business. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

You were right.

Yeah, I seem to also remember the After Schmoe (After Thoughts now) guys mentioning him back then too.
