Are movie stars a thing of the past?&nbsp;Paul Scheer (actor, comedian) and Amy Nicholson (LA Times film critic) &ndash; co-hosts of the&nbsp;<a href="http://unspooledpodcast.com">Unspooled</a> podcast &ndash; join Sam to break down why Hollywood stopped making true stars. Gone are the days of Denzel, Julia, and Tom &ndash; now it&rsquo;s all about franchises, streaming, and social media clout. So who&rsquo;s to blame? Studio execs afraid to take risks? IP-obsessed filmmakers? Too many TikTok dance challenges? Sam, Amy, and Paul get into it all &ndash; and then put on their Hollywood exec hats to pitch their own foolproof plan to revive the capital-M Movie Star.&nbsp;
