Show Notes
This week, Brian, John, and Elaine get cerebral by examining the age old question: What makes a modern classic in film? Is it the Director's vision, certain actor's performances, original story and memorable characters, or some other combination. We also take an extended look at the Youtube demonetization controversy. Is free speech being threatened as google/youtube try to sanitize youtube to please advertisers? It's a jam packed show this week so buckle up!

What Makes a Modern Classic
Originality. The focus is not on world building, creating a franchise, or creating a cinematic universe. The focus instead is on telling a complete and engaging story. These films are ultimately character driven with memorable performances by actors who the audience can empathize with.
