Rocky was just a huge huge risk. Are studios today taking those same type of risks?

And people are looking for identifiable stories, simple stories. You know where they're finding them now? On streaming, on uh dateline, on 2020, you know, real human interaction.

It's sad. But it's true. And I don't think the audience wants it either too because you know, this generation doesn't have that same education that I had. You know, the way schooling is, they don't teach the classics, they don't teach poetry, you don't teach the Raven. So it would be quite alien to them. I don't even know what they teach, but the one thing they do rely upon is complete and utter fantasy.
