We’re trying something new this week and taking a break from the usual interview format. This episode kicks off a roundtable discussion format that we plan to revisit every few months. Chris is joined in person by Daniel Thron and James Blevins, both CG Garage podcast veterans, for a relaxed but sharp conversation about recent events in technology and the movie industry.
The group starts with James Cameron’s bold claim that he wants to use AI to cut costs without laying anyone off, and whether that’s even realistic in today’s production model. They also discuss MUBI, a platform well known for championing indie films, and why its $1 billion valuation signals a shift in what audiences and investors are willing to support. From the box office surprise of Sinners to the decline of risk-taking in studio films, it’s a wide-ranging talk about where things are going and how we might all adapt.
