In this special feature episode of Wilhelm, Ben Beck reflects on why Dropout has become one of the most meaningful and authentic entertainment platforms in modern streaming.

From the creative freedom of Game Changer and Make Some Noise to the community-driven storytelling of Dimension 20, this episode explores why audiences are connecting so deeply with Dropout’s creator-first philosophy and what makes the platform feel so different in today’s entertainment landscape.

Following the editorial discussion, Ben sits down with Sam Reich for a thoughtful conversation about:

- The evolution and success of Dropout- Emmy conversations surrounding Game Changer- Maintaining authenticity while growing- The explosive launch of the Game Changer: Home Edition Kickstarter- Creative freedom in modern entertainment- And why trust between creators and audiences matters now more than ever

A huge thank you to Creative Publicity for helping make this conversation possible.

Ryan Gosling leads the charge in Project Hail Mary, the new sci-fi epic based on Andy Weir’s bestselling novel (The Martian). Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film blends massive interstellar spectacle with a surprisingly emotional, character-driven story.

In this spoiler-free review, I break down what makes Project Hail Mary work so well — from Gosling’s standout performance to the film’s stunning visuals and smart approach to science fiction storytelling.

If you love big, ambitious sci-fi with heart, this is a movie you’ll want to see on the biggest screen possible.
