Summary

Happy Potluck Saturday, Heal Squad! This one starts in old Hollywood, Greta Garbo disappearing at the height of her fame (but secretly knowing exactly what she was doing), Oscars past vs. present, and why movies just don’t seem to hit the same anymore… even though Kev shouts out a few recent ones he actually loved (Song Sung Blue, Nuremberg, the Clooney film)! How the whole system really works, the politics behind Oscar wins, why so many recent films feel forgettable, and the realization that Hollywood might not matter the way it used to. Kev gets into what’s actually changing: audiences splintering, old entertainment shows quietly disappearing, AI starting to creep in, and why the people who are still thriving (Stallone, Taylor Sheridan) are the ones who create, not just perform. And for anyone trying to “make it” in the arts… the hard truth: you don’t do it for the money anymore. You do it because you love it, you learn everything, and you adapt to what’s coming next. A little nostalgia, a little reality check, and a very honest look at where things are headed. Talk shawtly!
