Epic Films or Endless Slogs? Tackling the 'Movies are Too Long' Debate! - Movie Podcast

I need to yell this one more time for the back row. MOVIES ARE TOO LONG NOW! I miss the 90 minute runtimes that were more common in the 90s. A fast runtime can make a somewhat mediocre experience far more enjoyable. "Leaving an audience wanting more" used to be the main goal. Now it's "Leave the audience wanting less" and I'm not having it! Now, there are plenty of films that earn the lengthy runtime but more often than not, shaving 20 minute off doesn't seem to have a negative effect. In fact, it's preferable.
