Is doubling down on blockbuster construction the way to run a modern studio? Whether or not Warners is really going through with that, Geoff and I get into the weeds about what motivates a filmmaking industry constantly on the hunt for $1 billion and a shipment of plastic toys from China. We’ll also discuss the implications of shifting all your money into big bets in an age of demanding fans and super-monotony.
Plus, is it a curse or blessing when sequels for cult movies we love get cancelled?
