Hello, Hello! 

 

This week on The Make It Podcast, Chris and Nick discuss the success of Five Nights at Freddy's and how it was able to capitalize on existing IP in a way that worked. They also analyze Taylor Swift's deal with AMC to distribute her concert film and whether others can replicate her success. Nick provides a culture check on a controversy involving the head of HBO being caught creating fake X (formerly Twitter) accounts to troll critics of its content.

 

We also talk about:

• Debate around whether people can "cash in" on Taylor Swift's lottery ticket deal or if her level of fame and experience is unique.
• Consideration of whether Troll behavior is commonplace or if the HBO executive was wrong to attempt to manipulate feedback.
• Comments on the importance of artists receiving genuine criticism to improve their work.

 

Enjoy!
