We opened with a space-truck under fire, drifted into astral projection, tore apart modern vampire movies, and somehow ended up asking whether Netflix should be allowed to buy Hollywood.

In this episode of The Economy of Nothing, Captain Tracy and Mr. Green unpack:
• why "stakes" don't matter in movies anymore
• how Stranger Things lost the plot
• why Sinners feels like an Oscar movie (and why that's weird)
• the Netflix / Warner Bros rumor spiral
• Silicon Valley's slow takeover of Hollywood
• and why Mr. Green insists a flying space truck still needs a road
This is less an episode and more a controlled systems failure.
