Can Midjourney Actually Compete in Video? + Sref & Monetization Talk

Drew forgot his hat. Rory got recognized by voice alone. And somehow, this spirals into one of the most insightful, chaotic, and weirdly therapeutic episodes of Midjourney Fast Hours yet.

This week, your two favorite Midjourney degenerates talk AI's messy evolution, why --sref still hits, and what to really expect from Midjourney’s upcoming video model (spoiler: temper your expectations, but get excited anyway).

They go deep on the “magic” Midjourney still has, how it’s quietly winning by being fun, and the lesser-known ways people are turning AI content into passive income.

There’s also a live yearbook unboxing, a nostalgic look at 8fps video from 2023, and at least three moments where someone says, “we’re not shills… but also, please sponsor us.”

Welcome to the pod that’s equal parts therapy session, product breakdown, and test lab.
