The Streaming Bubble Has Burst
|
The golden age of streaming didn’t always reward the people who actually mined the gold. Back in 2017, around the time that The Handmaid’s Tale emerged as a global hit for Hulu and became the first streaming show ever to win the top drama Emmy, one of its writers, John Herrera, was working a second job. The good news was that he still heard some solid gossip from Hollywood insiders. Or overheard, to be more accurate: They were talking to each other in the back of his Lyft. “There were a couple of instances of driving people to LAX and dropping them off while a billboard for Handmaid’s was staring down at me,” he tells Joy Press and Natalie Jarvey in their sweeping piece on the economics of present-day Hollywood. Spoiler alert: They’re not great.
Elsewhere in HWD, two stars of Barry talk to Derek Lawrence about the heartbreaking twist in Sunday’s episode; Succession director Lorene Scafaria is back with more insight into the Roy clan; Richard Lawson reviews the final movie in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy; and Donald Liebenson recommends 10 films in a very specific genre.
