I didn’t get the Liam neeson story. I assumed it was his brother or son that was born with a deformity. He used him to make money and when he found a better show, he killed him. Was there more to it than that?

I think it was used to illustrate the tough, survival of the fittest, nature of the west. It was called Meal Ticket and the orator guy was dumped for a counting chicken. Maybe its about quality art getting shoved aside for whatever sells the most.

I thought the point was fairly straight forward. People would rather be entertained by a counting chicken than a great orator.
