EVENT ALERT! Join us LIVE on June 28 at Dynasty Typewriter in LA. Get tickets here.

Summer movie season is off to a good start. Two movies in particular are giving Hollywood a lot of hope.

Both original horror films, Backrooms and Obsession, are new movies made by Gen Z creators that very quickly became massive hits at the box office. So, are young people going to the movies again? Maybe they’re finally taking over Hollywood?

Despite these success stories, a recent piece from The Ankler’s Christopher Rosen argues that the larger film industry is still focused on the old guard. Sam spoke with Christopher about what’s going with the generational warfare happening in Hollywood right now.
