S2E18: How Porn led to a deep dive investigation into a massive movie production house
Description
Joining us in an insightful episode is Captain (Not a real name!), a seasoned player who has thrived for 30 years in the thrilling, often merciless world of the entertainment industry. His tales stretch from directing commercials and music videos to rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Courtney Love. But it's not all glitz and glamour; Captain doesn't shy away from pulling back the curtain on the darker side of the industry, recounting incidents of intense pressure, humiliation, and the constant hustle required to stay afloat.
Venturing beyond Hollywood, we unfold the controversial Hobbit Law in New Zealand, a legislation that has stirred up a storm in the global film industry. We engage with a former employee of Weta, a company that has lent its magic to monumental films like Avatar and Lord of the Rings. Hear about the toxic workplace environment, daunting allegations of bullying and harassment, and the grueling stress that often leads workers towards unhealthy coping mechanisms. This is an unfiltered look at the colossal pressure that often simmers behind the silver screen.
