What if streaming services are killing the magic of cinema? On this episode of Excuse the Intermission, Alex McCauley and Max Fosberg welcome you to a riveting discussion on the seismic shifts in the film industry. We start with a look back at the electrifying year of horror in 2024, before tearing into how streaming platforms are reshaping traditional revenue models and the theatrical experience. Using heavy-hitting examples like George Clooney and Brad Pitt's "Wolves" and the recent works of David Fincher, Max passionately argues how these changes are stifling filmmakers' opportunities for broader recognition and financial returns.
Next, get the insider scoop on the unexpected theatrical release of "Alien Romulus," a decision that echoes the success of "Prey" and signals a significant moment for the industry. We break down the financial gymnastics behind movie productions, the pitfalls of bypassing the big screen, and why international box office performance matters more than ever. Celebrating the theatrical triumphs of "Poor Things" and "Long Legs," we examine how these films successfully navigate the new landscape of combined theatrical and streaming releases.
Switching gears, we turn our attention to the horror genre's intriguing trends and standout films. From Hunter Schafer’s compelling performances and strong female protagonists to the mysteries embedded in "Cuckoo," we leave no stone unturned. We explore the fascinating resurgence of mid-tier horror, the chilling allure of found footage and stop-motion horror, and how titles like "Night Swim," "Tarot," and "A Quiet Place Day One" are pushing creative boundaries.
