The business of Hollywood flops Nov 03, 2024

Show notes

When most people think of the movies, they think of Oscar-winning classics and popular summer blockbusters. But Hollywood's failures — its flops — are often more significant. Over the years, flops have bankrupted studios and forced Hollywood to modify its business model — and recent superhero flops may cause yet another evolution. Tim Robey, a longtime film critic at The Telegraph and the author of Box Office Poison: Hollywood's Story in a Century of Flops, joins to discuss the business of movie failures.

Join our host Mark Dent, for an in-depth conversation with Tim Robey.

What does winning a James Beard Award really mean for chefs? Oct 27, 2024

Show notes

Often called the Oscars of the food industry, the James Beard Foundation Awards are among the most coveted for chefs in America. But what's sold and packaged as prestige can sometimes become a distraction from managing the business that got you there.

Plus: while Norway is raising its minimum age limit for teens to access the internet, in Poland, AI is attempting a journalism takeover at a radio station. This, plus much more.
