Is the industry headed in the right direction? Should studios keep investing in development? Are modern films less provocative? Todd is joined by his friend and legendary producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura as they inhabit their 17 year old selves and evaluate the state of the movie industry and discuss learning from public failure, the value of having good taste, why we need more "lunatics" making movies, and why executives need to rely on their young talent.
