About this episode

The episode discusses how YouTubers are outperforming Hollywood's biggest franchises with small-budget films.

YouTubers are proving small-budget films can outperform Hollywood's biggest franchises — A24's Backrooms and Obsession have shattered box office expectations while The Mandalorian and Grogu bombed. Maybe the future of cinema isn't in studio recycling, but in creators brave enough to do something new.
