Faith-Based Blockbusters

Host Claude Brodesser-Akner looks deep inside the business of entertainment in a half-hour of thoughtful and irreverent dialogue with Hollywood’s top deal-makers, filmmakers, moguls, artists and agents. The latest podcast is about the movie “Fireproof.”

Do you think this model will continue to work and if so, for how long? How many movies a year do you think the Evangelical community will support before the playing field becomes over-saturated and over-commercialized?
