On this episode of Heard Tell, host Andrew talks with our friend and certified film critic Luis Mendez of the Mendez Movie Report on why this year's box office is way up from last year's historically bad Memorial Day weekend to this year's historically great one. Plus, we talk about why live action remakes are controversial with critics but audiences make up their own minds, Snow White's failure vs Lilo & Stitchs success, the upcoming How To Train Your Dragon, and why the genre isn't going away. Also, we talk about the business that is Disney, why cultural currency is vital to movie franchises and IPs, some film reviews, and more.
