What Happened To Hollywood?

Internationally award-winning director Sergio Navarretta, best known for his 2019 film The Cuban, with Lou Gossett Jr., joins the program for a candid conversation about Hollywood, culture, and the future of storytelling.

Drawing from his extensive experience in the film industry, Sergio shares his perspective on where Hollywood has been, where it is today, and where it may be headed in the years ahead. We discuss how the cultural landscape has shifted over the past two decades and examine ideas, values, and conversations that were widely accepted not long ago but have become increasingly controversial or off-limits today.

What has driven these changes? How has the entertainment industry influenced broader cultural trends? And what role does Hollywood play in shaping the values and perspectives of future generations?

We examine the evolution of the film industry, the challenges facing creators, the impact of cultural shifts on storytelling, and what it will take to restore creativity, balance, and meaningful dialogue in entertainment. Behind every film is a business model, and behind every business model are incentives that shape the stories a culture tells itself. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on a new edition of Business Game Changers.

Have We Hit The Wall?

We’ve reached a strange junction in time. Progress seems to have stalled. Every new novel, television show or movie seems to be a copy of a copy of a copy.

The new “editions” lack wit and irony, as if all creativity has been stamped out by the powers that be.

When will these foul tides turn? How will we re-establish some sense of purpose and control over our destinies? More from Black Pigeon Speaks.
