172: Films Are No Longer Cultural Events
Today’s films are not given the chance to make an imprint on the minds of their intended audiences, largely thanks to a release cycle engineered by Hollywood to ensure maximum returns on the opening weekend. By the second weekend, films are by and large forgotten unless there is no competition for the number one spot. This is a far cry from the Hollywood of even 15 years ago which allowed films to stay in the cinema for at least six months, and by doing so, making an impact on the culture. Steve and Ben discuss this turn of events in the film industry, and how film’s cultural impact may have now passed us by forever. Steve and Ben also discuss in their news bites: James Franco and Seth Rogen's new Kim Jong-un assassination film 'The Interview' slammed by North Korean spokesman, Time travel has been simulated by Australian physicists, Will the Supreme Court ever figure out technology?
