Part 6/12:
Both speakers concur that the entertainment industry is experiencing a crisis. One notes that Hollywood appears "dead," pointing to the emptiness of major studios like Warner Brothers' lot—a stark visual of the industry's decline. They argue that industry insiders may have contributed to this downturn by making it overly difficult and expensive to film in California, the heart of Hollywood. The high costs, bureaucratic hurdles, and lack of incentives have driven production away, weakening the industry's foundation.
