It is a change of plans this week as my induction into Club Covid means I couldn't go out into the world and watch Nope, so the promised movie reviews couldn't happen. Instead, we changed things and turned one of the planned topics into part of a special theme episode.
You may have heard of this thing called social media? Well, it has had a tad of an impact on the movie industry, and that is what we're all about discussing this week. We look at how it has brought fans together and allowed for some major social movements that have spurred real change in Hollywood like #MeToo and #OscarSoWhite. We also look at the dark side with recent news that Zack Snyder may have weaponized his fanbase and encouraged the toxic elements on social media. Speaking of toxic, we look at the monetization of negativity when discussing movies that has risen recently. But we also look at how the internet has been a positive place for creators and unique forms of arts, expression, and storytelling.
It is such a joy recording this show with Scott Martin for you, our listeners. We really hope you have a blast listening to it. If you do, we humbly ask you share it on this thing called social media, so other movie fans can discover us.
We also want to acknowledge the excellent people over at Spreaker Prime who help bring this podcast to you and have a talented team that supports us.
