On this episode it is the battle of buddy action movies with The Rip from Netflix starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon plus The Wrecking Crew from Prime Video. Ali Reza Beheshti returns to the show as we take a status check on the kind of fun movies streamers are putting out lately. We get into everything from Director Joe Carnahan reuniting with Ben Affleck to the over the top 80s energy of the Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa pairing. One movie is a slow burn thriller while the other is a laugh out loud buddy cop throwback but both represent a big shift in how these platforms are competing for our attention.Beyond the reviews we tackle the massive industry shifts happening behind the scenes. We discuss the Artist Equity production model and how it rewards over twelve hundred crew members based on streaming success. We also dive into the rumors surrounding a potential Netflix acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery and what that means for the future of HBO. We explore whether folding a prestige brand like HBO into the Netflix ecosystem will lead to a loss of the unique creative visions that make cinema special. The Rip is streaming now on Netflix and The Wrecking Crew is available on Prime Video.
