Screenwriter Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Book of Eli) joins Dave to discuss See You in Hell, his new self-produced comedy podcast and why audio storytelling has become his creative home. Whitta breaks down how Hollywood studios, streaming wars, and algorithm-driven content helped damage the film industry—and what creators can do outside the traditional studio system.
The conversation dives into creative burnout, IP fatigue, the decline and future of movie theaters, and why bold films like Sinners, Weapons, and One Battle After Another still matter. Whitta also explains the freedom of independent podcasting, working beyond studio control, and the current state of film and television in an industry shaped by streaming platforms and data-driven decision making.
