Summary
From our Season 12 Archives, one of our favourites

We’ll talk about how a low-budget horror movie got a ton of press just by asking people to smile.
And we’ll examine the marketing of Top Gun: Maverick – the Tom Cruise sequel that Steven Spielberg says single-handedly saved the theatrical industry.
