Prequels at the Box Office, Unpalatable Punditry & Re-Loaded
Manage episode 424354453 series 3478648
Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.
In this episode, Carl and Tony ponder the state of the cinematic box office in relation to prequels, especially after the failure of Furiosa: A Mad Max Story. Does it factor into wider trends about where the cinema experience is going wrong?
Plus! With the BBC deciding to hire controversial tennis star Nick Kyrgios as a pundit, they wonder whether being an unpalatable figure is a blessing or a curse for broadcasters these days.
And finally, 90s-era lads mag Loaded is being reborn for a new, middle-aged man audience. Do Carl and Tony fit the demographic? And if so, will they buy a copy?
