Welcome to Crash Zoom, a podcast where we take a deep dive into film and entertainment industry news! Each week, join Rough Draft Atlanta Associate Editor Sammie Purcell and indie filmmaker Aaron Strand as they explore how things happening at the highest level trickle down and affect the independent artist.

This week, Sammie and Aaron are heading back to their one podcast a week structure, discussing Disney’s approach to AI, Paramount’s new leadership, and more.

Links in this episode: • Is it still Disney magic if it’s AI? (Wall Street Journal) • New Paramount leadership team (Variety) • Why is it hard to get studio comedies made? (The Town) • Regal bets on Dude Perfect (Bloomberg)
