00:00You were basically calling for the death of pop culture only to kind of recede and come back.
00:0515 years on, how are we doing in your opinion?
00:08I think we're still in because the death that I envisioned was death by collision, death by everything morphing together,
00:16every crossover possible.
00:18I just saw a thing that DC Comics is doing in their comics where it's DC Comics, but also Sabrina
00:27the Teenage Witch and Annabelle and Vampirella and Mortal Kombat and this character from a little indie comic.
00:34They're all having this big battle royale, so I'm like, okay, it's happening.
00:38It's all starting, you know, we need it all to overload and explode so that we can then start fresh
00:45with absolutely new visions.
00:46This year was really good in terms of movies like Weapons and the Plague and Sinners and One Battle After
00:55Another.
00:56Yes, Sinners was inspired by stuff.
00:58One Battle was inspired by stuff, but use these as springboards rather than do like when they made that movie,
01:05The Flash, where it's just like, look at this thing.
01:08Look at this thing.
01:09Remember this?
01:10Remember this?
01:11You know, use it as a new thing that will get referenced.
01:14No, it's the postmodern turn.
01:16It's like, recognize that everybody has an awareness of what this is, so now take what that is and now
01:21flip it on its head.
01:22Exactly.
01:23Or use it to inspire something completely new.
01:27You should be making the things that other people are referencing, not you shouldn't be referencing other people's stuff.
