The movie industry is currently in a state of decline due to reliance on high-budget superhero films that are no longer financially viable.

“I think um probably last year was a bit of a turning point for all of this stuff in Hollywood. We're still going to see more of it for sure. It's not going to go away overnight, but it's definitely the point where it's no longer financially viable.”

The movie Bros failed at the box office because it was not funny, not because of homophobia.

“my whole feeling on the whole thing is I hate blaming homophobia I think you just gotta do better [ __ ] right but I also understand that like there is that's real to a degree where people just go yeah it's hard for a dude to suggest to his buddies let's go see Bros but we got to think about”

A movie like Bros needs to be aggressively funny and marketed differently to overcome potential audience discomfort.

“this cannot be marketed as like hey everybody it's a gay movie you have to Market this as a [ __ ] hilarious movie where guys [ __ ] in it like there's graphic sex in it yeah dude sex and it's got to be so over the top”

Brian Simpson maintains that the communal experience of going to movie theaters will remain relevant because audiences naturally desire shared emotional reactions.

“you can't get rid of that communal that cuz there's part of you that like you check in with people you want you want to feel other people around you when you're watching”
