## Resource

This week on Radio Labyrinth, Hollywood might want to check its ego—because the next generation of filmmakers didn’t come up through film school… they came from YouTube. We break down the growing trend of digital creators making the jump to major studio projects, from Markiplier topping the box office with Iron Lung to indie creators landing massive franchises like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Is this the future of filmmaking… or just Hollywood chasing the algorithm? Also this week: * The bizarre (and very real) possibility of Tim Heidecker helping reboot InfoWars under The Onion banner * Backlash over Euphoria pushing boundaries (or just pushing buttons?) * Early reactions to the Michael Jackson biopic Michael * A packed Trailer Trash segment featuring Super Troopers 3, Godzilla Minus Zero, Busboys, and more * Plus Views or Snooze? with the latest streaming picks including Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 and more From Hollywood gatekeeping to YouTube disruption, we’re asking the big question—Are creators replacing directors… or just rewriting the rules? 👉 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and join the conversation in the comments.
