Movie Fatigue | Get Geekish Podcast #2-002

Have you felt it too? That sense of movie fatigue creeping in? On a recent episode of Get Geekish: The Podcast, Derek and Beano dove deep into this very topic. They talked about everything from the decline of quality in big-budget films (rushed CGI, anyone?!) to the overwhelming number of sequels and remakes flooding the market. Remember when getting a good seat was the biggest movie-going challenge? Now, it’s sifting through endless options and wondering if the latest blockbuster will actually be worth the price of admission.

Some Key Points of the Movie Fatigue Podcast:

• The “crunch” in CGI production: Studios prioritize speed over quality, leaving us with subpar visual effects in films that cost millions to make.
• Streaming vs. Theaters: With high-quality shows like “The Last of Us” setting a new standard, can theaters keep up?
• The endless cycle of sequels and remakes: Where’s the originality? We need more fresh stories and unique ideas!
• Cliffhanger fatigue: Stop leaving us hanging! We want satisfying conclusions, not endless waits for the next installment.

This isn’t just about us just being “old curmudgeons,” it’s about wanting more from the entertainment industry. We deserve quality, originality, and stories that leave us feeling satisfied. Maybe more of a focus on quality and artistic, and less of a focus on meeting hectic release window deadlines to compete for streaming views.

What do YOU think? Give this episode a listen and let us know in the comments if you’re feeling the movie fatigue too.
