0:00 - “Poop” and “Pee”.

2:35 - REVIEW - “Juror #2” (2024)

We discuss the film, but the larger discussion here is about the further devaluation of films and filmmakers by the streaming economy. Why wasn’t this given a wide release? It’s Clint Eastwood, for chrissake!

Why do streaming services have to make money? Wouldn’t they be better utilized as platforms for independent projects that otherwise have no distribution? Wouldn’t that feed the ecosystem as a whole? Couldn’t we just go back to theatrical releases, home media, buying movies at film festivals and discovering new talent, thereby exposing the public to more interesting films that are less seme-y than what we have today, thus minimizing the reliance on corporate-owned IP?
