Part 6/10:
Movie Characters, Genre Merits, and Industry Critiques
The hosts debated whether comedy could outclass serious epics like Lord of the Rings, ultimately asserting that while a parody or satire can be artful, the scale and impressiveness of Tolkien’s saga make it hard to beat in terms of artistry. They also discussed the artistic merit of horror—acknowledging its straightforward thrills but often cheap production values—versus drama and epic fantasies.
They shared disapproval of GTA 6's delays, suggesting it might never even come out, and criticized Hollywood's pre-production shortcuts—especially in big studio projects that shoot for quick releases rather than quality.
