    AI vs Hollywood - The Algorithm Will See You Now
    Nov 7 2025
    Netflix's recommendation engine reportedly determines eighty percent of what subscribers watch, but recommendation is just the beginning. Frankie Reel pulls back the curtain on how algorithms have moved from suggesting content to deciding what gets made in the first place. This episode explores the data-driven machinery reshaping entertainment from the inside: how streaming platforms analyze billions of behavioral data points to greenlight shows, how algorithmic preferences create feedback loops that homogenize storytelling, and how the shift from broadcast to streaming economics has transformed culture into a giant optimization experiment. The algorithm doesn't just predict what audiences want—it shapes what they want, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy where art becomes inventory and creativity bends toward machine-readable patterns.

  • AI vs Hollywood- Digital Doppelgängers: When Actors Become Data

    AI vs Hollywood- Digital Doppelgängers: When Actors Become Data
    Nov 7 2025
    When actors step into a photogrammetry rig, they're not just being photographed—they're being converted into data that can be stored, manipulated, and deployed indefinitely without their presence. Frankie Reel explores the unsettling world of digital doubles, deepfakes, and synthetic performances, from the controversial resurrection of Peter Cushing in Rogue One to Tom Hanks warning fans about fake ads using his likeness. This episode examines the moral maze of digital identity in entertainment: who owns your face after it's been scanned, what happens to actors' likenesses after death, and whether Hollywood's dream of immortal stars might become a nightmare of exploitation. It's not just about technology replacing actors—it's about technology stealing their faces.

    Nov 7 2025
    Hollywood has always feared technological change, from talkies to streaming, but artificial intelligence represents something unprecedented: a threat not just to how stories are made, but to who gets to make them. Frankie Reel examines the 2023-24 industry strikes that put AI at the center of Hollywood's labor crisis, exploring how writers and actors fought for their creative future against studios investing billions in machine intelligence. Through historical parallels and industry analysis, this episode reveals that AI isn't simply replacing human creativity—it's forcing us to redefine what "creative" means in the first place, and whether the romantic myth of the artist can survive in an age of algorithmic content generation.
