Love the Drinker.
I watch Drinker’s episodes. Very funny, uses age-old story telling techniques to explain why modern movies are awful. Don’t agree with this assessment, though. Not questioning his sources, but there’s too many “blue haired, all my kids are “trans” [at 90 billion to one odds], if you don’t celebrate degeneracy you will be tarred a fascist” types at every level of movie making to make a difference in such a short period of time.
While we haven’t seen a total we have been watching corporate America losing countless billions over the decades on this nagging/lecturing/woke campaign, I can’t think of any from food, to department stores, to motorcycles, to grooming stuff like Gillette, amusement parks, military, to Hollywood that have benefitted from it.
“The Message” or the big knife Hollywood stabs itself in the back with ,LOL
I didn’t listen to the whole thing but skipped ahead for a few segments - movies have almost always had a ‘message’ the difference is that the message of older movies was a message that was timeless. the current crop of movies seem to focus on the current message/angst/cause of the day rather than some truth based on meaningful human nature or God.
