Thank you for helping us hit 1,000 subscribers!!! In this special episode we dive into the current state of film culture, discussing how overhyped franchises and unnecessary sequels are impacting the industry. We discuss the biggest disappointments of last year, like Gladiator 2 and Daredevil: Born Again, while highlighting positive trends such as the return of practical effects and the rise of standalone films like Project Hail Mary and The Fall Guy. Join us as we explore the shift away from corporate IP towards more meaningful storytelling, and celebrate the power of movies to inspire and transform.
