3. Movies: Theatrical vs. Streaming War

• What’s good: Event films (Oppenheimer, Barbie, Dune 2) prove theaters can still be magical. A24 and Neon consistently release bold, original films.
• What’s not: Mid-budget adult dramas are nearly extinct in theaters — they go straight to streaming. Franchise fatigue is real (superhero movies underperforming unless exceptional).
• Useful tip: For every blockbuster, watch one indie or foreign film (e.g., on Mubi or Kanopy via your library). It resets your palate and costs little.
