In this episode, we react to a Variety article that surveyed cinema owners across the US, asking who they believe still has the power to draw audiences to the big screen. We break down the names that made the list, what “bankable” really means in today’s industry, and whether star power alone can still open a film. We also put forward our own picks. The actors we think deserve to be in that conversation, who’s been quietly building serious box office credibility, and who might be next to join the ranks. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:07:20 - Most Bankable Movie Stars 00:42:38 - Emails 00:54:46 - Game The Article: https://variety.com/2026/film/news/movie-theater-owners-zendaya-tom-holland-bankable-actors-1236709729/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/PulpKitchenPodcast Send us your questions to hello@pulpkitchenpodcast.com!
