Part 11/17:
The discussion takes a nostalgic turn, lamenting the decline of quality in recent movies and TV shows. They complain about reboots, remakes, and the industrial obsession with political correctness, which they see as diluting artistic integrity.
They criticize Hollywood’s reliance on nostalgia, copying past successes, and overusing “legacy” actors in aging roles—Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and others—who appear to be chasing a paycheck rather than meaningful storytelling. They lament the overuse of multi-million-dollar budgets on blockbuster disasters and speculate about "the iceberg"—the shooting point when blockbuster movies peaked, with Endgame as the apparent zenith before decline.
