The Hollywood Outsider – Film and Television Podcast | Reviews An award-winning film and television podcast for the fan in all of us
On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, our topic is a timely one. 2026 is the year YouTubers broke into the mainstream. Earlier this year, Markiplier found fantastic success with bringing his YouTube series Iron Lung to cinemas, and now we have a month full of success stories by YouTube and TikTok creators with the back-to-back wins of Obsession’s director Curry Barker and Backrooms creator Kane Parsons. So, it begs the question: are YouTubers the next generation of great filmmakers?
Also, this week: Escape from New York a touch of the Zack Snyder, our spoiler-free review of He-Man’s return to theaters with Masters of the Universe, whatcha been watching discusses Widow’s Bay, Spider-Noir, Ladies First, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, and Margot’s Got Money Problems. Plus Troy and Aaron dive into their own insane Backrooms theories.
