Warner Bros. Creative Freedom Vs Disneys Producer Control

Today we have a special podcast with the award-winning "The Reasons I'm Broke" podcast. We delve into a 9-part discussion about the fight between directorial creative freedom and risk-averse producer control. We take a deep and very philosophical dive into why artist integrity is important, especially in the largest movies, and how the attempt to "elevate the bottom" so to speak has been repeatedly shot down by studios and audiences. Strap in, this is a long one but I think it is a very riveting discussion that you will surely have an opinion about. If you do, please let us know in the comments or on our socials. I feel it is a worthwhile discussion to have. Join The Exiles Network discord to discuss these topics with Millennial Mike and the rest of the Exiles and Ronin crew!
