Does it make sense for Netflix to drop hundreds of millions of dollars on new action films when they can pick up "new to you" action features with A-list (or near A-list) stars for significantly less? Writer-producer-director, Robert Meyer Burnett, reviews a recent Forbes article on this subject and then discusses the economics of movie-making and, more importantly, how Netflix's business model turns the conventional thinking of Hollywood on its head.

It's a fascinating discussion that provides some insights as to where the movie business might go after the pandemic has passed. Plus Rob answers Super Chats from fans in the chat stream and discusses issues and ideas presented in fan letters sent in over the past few days.
