Intermission #5: Backrooms v Supergirl – The Summer Hollywood Didn’t See Coming
Backrooms, Box Office, and Tom Hanks Trivia
In this month’s Now Playing Podcast Intermission, the hosts catch up on what they’ve been watching, reading, and listening to, from community theater productions and symphony performances of Star Wars to The Iliad, HBO series, and road trips across America.
Then listener Michael from England joins the show for another round of movie trivia, where Tom Hanks questions prove tougher than expected before turning the tables with an Army of Darkness stumper.
Finally, the conversation shifts to Hollywood itself. Why are franchise movies struggling while original films like Backrooms and Obsession are breaking out? Are younger audiences moving away from superheroes? Is Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey the future of blockbuster filmmaking?
It’s another relaxed, behind-the-scenes conversation with the Now Playing Podcast hosts covering movies, music, conventions, collecting, and whatever else comes up.
