1. The Human IP Bubble: Why Hollywood Is Manufacturing Stars Into Irrelevance
11:35||Season 2, Ep. 1You're tired of actors you actually like. That's not an accident — it's a business model. Hollywood is treating talent as intellectual property and audiences as brand targets, casting for TikTok engagement rather than craft.

167. Twisters and the Real Disaster: When Blockbusters Are Scared of Themselves
05:24||Season 1, Ep. 167Twisters has some of the best storm sequences in recent cinema. It also abandons Daisy Edgar-Jones, pivots to a rom-com, and loses the thread entirely in the second half. Quick reaction on what went wrong, and why a film this well-made managed to underdeliver.165. The Kevin Hart Problem: What Does the Biggest Star in Hollywood Actually Want?
06:42||Season 1, Ep. 165Kevin Hart made a show about Kevin Hart wanting to be an action star — except he already is one. Die Hart is fun, disposable, and accidentally fascinating. This episode is a short rant that becomes a bigger question: what happens when enormous talent picks small bets?
