28 FEB 2024 · Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.
In this episode, Tony and Carl discuss how Gen Z seem to have turned books 'sexy', but why are they so obsessed with reading and is it performative or genuine?
Plus! Amazon are being bastards with this new ad tier and an increasingly poor user experience, so they discuss the so-called 'enshittification' of the overall streaming world.
And finally, speaking of bastards, David Zaslav is at it again, this time destroying a film entirely in Coyote vs Acme, but what does it suggest about the future of film production?
