Episode #189: Are Movies Dead?

Hollywood is having a really difficult time as of late. It seems as tough for every "Barbie" or "Super Mario" that makes literally a billion dollars, there are a dozen flicks like "Furiosa" and "Garfield" that fall severely short in terms of critical reception and box office take. Movie theatres are suffering, studios are scrambling, and ultimately, it's the fans who pay the price. But what's causing it? COVID hangover? Sequel fatigue? Ticket prices? All of that and then some? On this episode, Saint and Jim take a look at some of the possible reasons behind the downward trends in the movie industry, and what might be done to address them. Of course, there's also more nerd news than you can shake a popcorn bucket at.
