    Only five of the legacy movie companies still operate as traditional studios and one of those, Paramount, is up for sale.

    Oh, noooooo. I wonder what A24 is up to? Oh yeah, putting out movies that compete with the big 5’s while also working with the union to where they didn’t have to shut down last year. Funny how that works.

          I think there’s more to it than that. Netflix has give out blank check after blank check. And while every once in awhile they make something great. Usually they don’t.

          There has to be oversight for A24 to be as consistent as they are. There’s a balance between interference and creative freedom that they’ve figured out what nobody else has.
