In this episode, MediaTalk Host Mike Reynolds speaks to S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan Senior Research Analyst Wade Holden, who specializes in the movie business, and Mac Mathews, associate director of editorial, design and publishing at S&PGlobal and film aficionado. Wade and Mac discuss the almost 25% decline registered during the spring box office season and their expectations for the summer. Will the mix of franchise plays and originals resonate? Will anything match the excitement seen by last year's "Barbenheimer" phenomenon? What is going on with direct-to-streaming releases that bypass theaters entirely? Together, Mike, Mac and Wade explore these questions and more, before finally settling the long-running internet debate over who is the better Ryan: Gosling or Reynolds. (Spoiler alert: one of them votes for a Hugh.)
