Welcome to "SHOOTIN' IT" (Vol. I) - a MOVIE SNEAK mini-podcast wherein Craig and Jim informally kick back to discuss a topic currently at the entertainment industry forefront. While all of those "Spielberg Hates NETFLIX" headlines aren't entirely accurate (the legendary filmmaker loves TV and has produced material for every major network - including NETFLIX! - over the last near 40 years) he was fairly emphatic about wanting to steer the Motion Picture Academy away from nominating films which essentially premiere via streaming after what some call a limited "token" theatrical run. And while both sides of the debate rages (with the Department of Justice even recently weighing in), keep in mind that this really isn't anything new. In the 1970s filmmakers were outraged when Ingmar Bergman's SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE - originally produced as a Swedish mini-series then culled down to a theatrical film for the U.S. market - was deemed ineligible for Oscar consideration. The rule was amended, thus allowing Wolfgang Peterson's DAS BOOT (also edited down from a European mini-series) to be nominated for six Oscars a few years later. Then the rule was later amended yet again - then back-and-forth in various forms - for the next 35 years. Craig & Jim chase this ever-elusive football across it's decades long field, factoring in the simultaneous changes in Hollywood's production, distribution and union history - along with the ever-evolving technological face of how films themselves are made and marketed - in an attempt to hone in on a sensible outlook (and hopefully successful outcome) for both future filmmakers and fans.
