I didn\u2019t plan it this way, but it\u2019s a good coincidence that my interview with Devindra Hardawar is coming out on the week that the first Star Wars movie in years is being crushed at the box office by two low budget horror movies. Something is extremely off at Hollywood, or at least the old studio executives and streamers who control most of the money that funds movies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re joined by Devindra Hardawar. Devindra is a senior editor at Engadget and a co-host of The Filmcast, a podcast about film I\u2019ve been listening to for 15 years. We\u2019ve covered the intersection of the movie industry and AI here and there on 404 Media, but Devindra lives at that intersection. He\u2019s the perfect person to talk to about AI and film, but also the state of the industry more broadly, how to fit movies into your life in the age of the infinite scroll, how to introduce kids to film, and more.\u00a0404 Media is a journalist-founded company and needs your support.
