Welcome to Crash Zoom! Join entertainment journalist Sammie Purcell and filmmaker Aaron Strand as they explore the world of film and entertainment and how big picture changes affect the life and work of independent artists.

We have a NEW FORMAT. Instead of covering 4-5 topics per episode we are now doing two episodes a week each covering one topic. It's leaner, meaner, but with the same hard-hitting context and analysis you've come to expect.

On this episode we discuss:

The early casualties of the Skydance-Paramount merger: Stephen Colbert and South Park (THR, Indiewire)
