The traditional "Hollywood System" model is changing, but the industry as a whole is hardly over.

More filmmakers are making good TV ... RDJ for instance --- won an oscar and is also in an A24/HBO series in the same year.

Consumption and production are evolving, but films are not going away. Not by the hand of AI or streaming.

People are conflating the semantics.

Hollywood isn't king any longer.
You are more likely to influence culture on a hot youtube channel than you are as an actor in silver screen movies.
You are more likely to be the talk of the office watercooler in a Netflix series than you are as an actor in silver screen movies.

Hollywood is still relevant to the discussion. But they aren't the highest form of art for popular entertainment any longer.

I think that's all he's saying. Barbie and Oppenheimer were kind of outliers last year, you don't see many "must see" movies that people are constantly talking out loud about. The Seinfeld episode about The English Patient is actually a good example lol

For those saying he's irrelevant, I'd rather listen to his 60 year old man new material than most current comics' prime material. I tried to watch a couple of specials on HBO and I was actually uncomfortable at how cringe it was
