Episode 281 - Chris Charles talks The Marksman and the future of streaming for Hollywood

Mind Gap

This week the boys are joined by the very talented Mind Gap all-star Chris Charles. Chris is co-creator of Throughline Films and the writer of the upcoming film The Marksman starring Liam Neeson.

Chris tells the gang about the thrill of seeing the film he wrote for the first time and being on set with Robert Lorenz and Liam Neeson. The topic turns to the state of the theaters and film industry in this ongoing pandemic; a topic the guys covered in-depth last May on Episode 246 of the podcast. Our dorks also look at the fate of low and mid-budget films, the rise of mega-budget TV, and the shift in the industry to streaming and simultaneous releases like Wonder Woman 1984 and others from Warner Bros.

After more discussion on innovations in streaming services and the future of the industry, we get into a throw-down featuring Liam Neeson’s character in The Marksman vs Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino — also known as Get Off My Lawn: The Film. Chris has some naturally biased but also extremely insightful points to bring to this battle where there can be only one.
