Listen "Hollywood's Creative Bankruptcy: Part 2"
Episode Synopsis
Let's be honest: Hollywood is out of ideas. From endless reboots and sequels, to anything that will make a quick buck, the studios, executives, and stars of today's silver screen are driving movie fans to their limit. How did we get here? Is there a way out? These are some of the questions that Conner and Brendan are ready to answer.
In Part 2 of this 2-part mini-series, Conner and Brendan discuss the disastrous state of the Walt Disney Company, including the fall from grace of their storytelling legacy in favor of something like the recently-announced live-action remake of Moana, a film that is not yet 7 years old. Bob Iger has returned as CEO, but where does Disney go from here? Is Iger the solution to the problem, or is he the hidden cause of their problems? They certainly do not have an issue with making money, which Iger seems to be very fond of.
Additionally, they conclude with the topic of the growing polarization of the moviegoer. Hollywood is forcing us to choose whether we want to be heart people, or head people, and they manipulate us in ways even we don't realize. Is the future in the wide or limited release? From A24 to Universal, no stone in Hollywood is left unturned.
