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.

The Psychology Of Fairy Tales

Fairy tales are fascinating and give us a sense of warmth and homecoming that comes from the mythical realm of the imagination, a necessary complement to our everyday life.

We are fundamentally storytelling creatures and there is much we can learn by reflecting on the fairy tales heard in childhood. They seem almost magical, because they connect us with emotions deeply buried within that cannot find expression in outer life. Psychologically, fairy tales reflect our inner landscape, and the characters can represent aspects of our own personalities. More from Eternalised.
