Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back, and this week they're leading with a number that should scare every studio in Hollywood: Curry Barker was 26 when he made the horror movie Obsession for three-quarters of a million dollars. It's now closing in on half a BILLION worldwide. When they asked him what studios should know about Gen Z, his answer was blunt: "We're tired of slop, and we want good original movies back." Is the audience finally dragging Hollywood back to good stories, well told, or is this just a fluke?
THEN: the live-action Moana was supposed to be a $200 million slam dunk for Disney... instead it did $40 million domestic and under $100 million worldwide, with rumors Disney had to yank a "number one movie in the world" ad it had already written. Is this a Moana problem, or a Rock problem?
ALL THAT PLUS: the Emmy nominations drop, Rhea's cozy British pick, Angelo gives his highest recommendation in months to Power Ballad, and much MUCH more!
