Summary
Hollywood is going through some massive changes. The Golden Globes, usually the start of awards show season, was a non-event when it took place earlier this week because of problems that face the organization that puts it on, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Plus, theatres continue to struggle to lure back moviegoers except with big tentpole films. The Hollywood Reporter’s Senior Film Editor Rebecca Keegan joins us to discuss what’s going wrong and what the future of the film industry looks like.
And in headlines: The White House promised 10 million free COVID tests to schools nationwide every month, more than 8,000 grocery store workers at Colorado King Soopers grocery stores went on strike, and inflation climbed to the highest it’s been in 40 years.

| 0:44.7 | the film industry, which is going through some pretty massive changes right now to say |

| 1:15.9 | Those are the people who put on the globes over a number of issues, making it less relevant |
| 1:20.8 | in the award season when it used to help set trends. So we wanted to talk about all of |
| 1:25.9 | that, but also the future of film with many movies struggling to draw audiences back into |
