Why Do Modern Movies Suck so Much? - Critical Drinker (Video)
In this 2 March 2025 Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Critical Drinker, a movie critic, an analyst of modern entertainment media and a YouTuber.
What happened to Hollywood? Despite bigger budgets than ever, shows and films are struggling to thrive. Thankfully, Critical Drinker points to some pretty obvious and some not so obvious key reasons for why there is such a disconnect.
Expect to learn all about what is happening with the new James Bond shows, if the woke message is really dead in Hollywood, Critical Drinker’s thoughts on the Oscar’s, if Star Wars is redeemable or if it is completely left in the past, if audiences hate strong female characters or if its bad writing, what the f-ck George R.R. Martin is doing instead of writing the last book and more.
