<p dir="ltr">Summer movie season is off to a good start. Two movies in particular are giving Hollywood a lot of hope.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both original horror films, <em>Backrooms</em> and <em>Obsession</em>, are new movies made by Gen Z creators that very quickly became massive hits at the box office. So, are young people going to the movies again? Maybe they’re finally taking over Hollywood?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite these success stories, a recent piece from <a href="https://theankler.com/devil-onscreen-old-guard-just-keeps-winning/"><em>The Ankler’s </em>Christopher Rosen</a> argues that the larger film industry is still focused on the old guard. Sam spoke with Christopher about what’s going with the generational warfare happening in Hollywood right now.</p>
