@kitkatfisher7018 Says:
We know too much and we can't differentiate between them and the toon on screen anymore.
@micahrowe Says:
I wish I didn’t know anything about Mark Ruffalo aside from the roles he plays. Knowing his politics absolutely ruins any performance I see him in now. Just a pretentious whiny liberal. There are several actors I can think of like this.
@GaryHoffman-t1k Says:
Excellent frame work. I like that Dennis likes to be interviewed live in person. More people have to be working to make the media happen!!!
@cahg3871 Says:
Only weak minded people believe actors are heroes.They are just people who act for a living.I have more respect for the common man or women who bust their butt to make a living for a fraction of the pay these actors make.

My husband and I love films and have more than 800 DVDs of our favorites. Moreover, we loved the experience of going to the movies in a theater - popcorn! sodas! candy! In 2017 we were watching about 65 films a year in theaters, a bit more than 1 per week. Now, it's been about 4 years since we've gone to a movie theater at all. In fact, the last film I remember going to see was "Darkest Hour." Partly that we because the cost for families went through the roof. We'd pay the going rate for tickets, etc. at the art house theater, because foreign films were typically high quality and you couldn't see them in other theaters. But for films out of Hollywood we'd wait and see them at the second-run theater for half the price. That worked for awhile. But then the greedy suits running the studios started pitching comic book plots to the video game crowd. To heck with older adults who actually appreciated good stories and originality. Teen and twenty-somethings were undemanding on plot and would buy the toys and other commercial junk associated with the film. Then they killed off even that audience with woke politics and algorithm-driven sameness. I would love to go to the movies again, but there's seldom anything worth the cost of going. Creativity and originality aren't on the studios' list of check boxes. Now we are told that AI is going to change everything, just like CGI was going to change everything, but what I've seen of both is so obviously not the real thing I'm already bored to tears. I've cut back on YT as a result.

IMO, social media & politics killed Hollywood 🤷‍♂️
@kevinreily2529 Says:
The only real movie star left standing is Tom Cruise. He does everything for his fans, he cares deeply about the film he’s in. He doesn’t just do things for money.
@milosca_v Says:
Its not your age... the movies are crap now... no real stories... just actions and cgi
@LeviPlusBobbie Says:
I have zero interest in supporting the hollywierd folks. Plus, if the best they can only do is stupid comic book movies and then have the audacity to give themselves awards. I just can’t.
@JudithWood-lt3oo Says:
1. Internet enabled ppl to know the horrible lives stars lead. Disenchantment set in. 2. Stars became political and crapped on half their paying audience/fans with their opinions. 3. Movie tickets, popcorn and drinks became way overpriced. 4. Family films became infested with woke ideologies and ppl got sick of it. 5. Amazon, Netflix, etc., saturated the market with thousands of choices for way less money. 6. Writers no longer know how to do good character development or use humor that isnt crude and totally inappropriate. 7. Audiences are so uneducated now that nothing of true value can be relayed in films. The past two decades young ppl haven’t been taught history, basic religious ideas, literature, classical music or anything that used to tie societies together and bring about the warm feelings of shared experiences we used to get from movies. Everyone is divided based in personal preferences and feelings. We are all countries of individuals with nothing in common. Just a few reasons.

No movie advertising in the 1980s??? Star Wars, Jaws, ET weren’t advertised on TV in magazines and posters everywhere? Jack Nicholson was at every LA Lakers game. 😂😂😂

Good morning Mr. Peterson. May your day be a blessed one. I am a soul trapped within this simulated realm deities toss their unwanted creations.

Anyone can direct a movie but there’s only 11 good writers. - Mel Brooks
@pedrinhozortea Says:
pretty awesome conversation as jordan always makes sure he has, but dennis actually has a surprisingly good perspective about the way the world goes round!
@theepicmicco Says:
I honestly think it's because of the sheer magnitude of films being released now and the accessibility of streaming platforms. You used to get a slow drip feed of widely advertised film now it's like a geiser of movies and shows and you just get a bit lost in the ocean of it. There are still gems of films being made but it's more underground you have to do some searching. I also think 90s and early 2000s made the best movies ever but just mho.
@patrickt6642 Says:
I think if you know too much about actor it takes away from their roles.
@robertplant2059 Says:
at one time fonda and stewart were friends, complete political opposites.
@donaldshields6876 Says:
Movies in theaters why? When a few months later on pay for view, then a couple of months later on HBO.
@shlongbongchewy Says:
It's literally just "convenience fees" that killed going to the movies. You want me to pay extra by ordering online and planning ahead nah I just won't go
@Supersticio Says:
TMZ ☠️
@warpedstrait18 Says:
Constant visibility has brought the "stars" from sky to earth.. They aren't "stars" anymore.. They're average people.. Or worse.. Rich, snooty people who are always in your face, with some "message" or another.. Whether you want to see them or not.. You don't have a choice..

Parent trap is my jam
@adrienghost1229 Says:
What Dennis is saying is so true at 4:00 I recently saw Affleck say the same thing on Theo Von. That knowing celebrity is destroying the experience of the craft. A bit like meeting the pizza chef in the Seinfeld episode...
@srdlat Says:
Well, they got old. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ
@seneker Says:
This guy sounds exactly like Saul Goodman
@ChadWarren-t5k Says:
This is shocking to watch. I don't think that Dennis alone struggles to get this or know what to do about it it. I get the sense that these industry insiders just undervalue the negative impact of internet social media. It has made podcasting more intimate but this is a scam where they're having us interview each other but it's a public record oniy its like we're all in a prison ratting on each other and confessing. They don't want to employ people anymore so they're tearing down Hollywood and the whole facade they hid their dark power structure behind.
@shapelessed Says:
There really isn't much psychology in this. Today's movies are in general just simply terrible. You're signing up for an epic fantasy adventure, or a beautiful romance story, and get slapped on the cheek with 2 men kissing in a closet. Things have become so boring and unbearable that searching for new stories has by extension become a job on its own - People are already tired enough. Then mix everything I said a second before with the fact that you just gotta wait a few months and the video is available on streaming services and you'll quickly see how people just don't bother anymore.
@EvilestGem Says:
I think the declining interest is due to a few things. One of them is the constant need to market, commodify and package everything. We refine this process over and over to the point where we don't trust anything anymore because we've gotten used to all the marketing tricks and manipulation that goes into selling or promoting something. Essentially greed.
@ScorpionSkull-ni9sf Says:
Only films worth seeing in the theater, since covid, was Oppenheimer and Mavrick.

@farmgirlrebel1333 Says:
It truly is difficult if not impossible for me to separate a nasty, mean spirited actor from the character they are playing. Knowing too much about actors is a self-imposed constraint that a lot of actors just do not have the chops to get out of. It will always be classy to thank the people of all stripes for coming to see your movie and not dunk on any of them, for any reason.
@eddyjuillerat310 Says:
What happened to Peterson?
@Henchproductions Says:
Quaid hasn't made a good movie in years
@oe542 Says:
The beginning of the end was MTV’s The Real World. Audiences were glued to their tvs. They couldn’t get enough. Then execs realized that they could make tons of money while investing nearly nothing in to people with zero skill. That was the beginning of the end. That has evolved to the problems of today. PC, social media, CGI, $20 bags of popcorn, Netflix, Apple TV, 7000 other ways to entertain yourself on a tv… I haven’t been interested in a new movie in so long I can’t even remember the last one I liked.
@mrpk1719 Says:
Hollywood cannot create another Johnny Depp or another Brad Pitt because of social media it took away the biggest part of what a superstar is "Mysterious".
@Slyguy96 Says:
So when my grandma who went to church every Sunday. Warned about how the Bibles warning about the dangers of gossip. Maybe she knew what she was talking about?? It’s very toxic
@gjsykes7924 Says:
The reason you don't see Roger Ebert anymore on TV is that he died in 2013 🤦‍♂️
@ChiefBangOfficer Says:
Dennis Quaid is fantastic!
@williamneumyer7147 Says:
The last movie stars were Mickey Rooney and Natalie Wood.
@ginny709 Says:
Are they hearing each other?...The other can't wait to chime in their nanosecond thoughts....to out do each other.... Good grief what was I was watching?
@_bulenty Says:
Cruise is the only one left
@danmccarthy3762 Says:
They hire the same movie actors and actresses for every movie it’s like people in congress. Give someone else a chance and promote upcoming stars
@frankcastellanos Says:
I grew up with his movies, great actor, legend.
@imagine7generations973 Says:
It is all by design. They do not want powerful stars who may lead people to rebel against the machine (AI). And they want us locked in our homes and aloowed out only if we meet our social crdit score and even then only within your fifteen minute city. Wake up people. Pay in cash, use your dumb phone less and less, use your land line, and do not get any shots!
@michaelsantiago8161 Says:
Dennis was so good in The Substance that I can only see him as that hollywood guy 😂
@gurneyforpresident2836 Says:
Last movie I went to was Ford-vs-Ferrari, just before Covid. Then at the Academy Awards a crappy foreign film won best picture. Ford-vs-Ferrari should have won, which had all the buzz for months.
@jessykaiser6373 Says:
Dennis Quaid is right on the money! I didn't grow up with it either & SM is a chore. Face to face and in person lets you know you are with a real person.
