    The Tesseract Files — Issue #22: Best Date Movie 2!

    What makes the perfect date movie? And what makes a great comic book movie? We're tackling both questions and taking a few unexpected detours in Issue #22 of The Tesseract Files! First, Y-100's Thais Fernandez gets introduced to The Competition, the 1980 romantic drama starring Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfuss. Is this a hidden gem worthy of your next movie night? Then documentary filmmaker Jill Campbell discovers a Rolling Stones documentary she never knew existed, proving there's always another cinematic treasure waiting to be uncovered. Finally, Andres Suarez and Pablo Erminy join the conversation to explore what truly makes a great comic book movie. Is it faithfulness to the source material, spectacular action, compelling characters, or something else entirely?

    From romance and rock 'n' roll to superheroes and comic book adaptations, this issue has a little something for every movie lover.

    Stephen Chamberlain is back on The Tesseract Files, and this time we're stepping right into the middle of the YouTube flame wars!

    From the Masters of the Universe movie to Jabba the Hutt, comments and opinions have sparked some heated debates across YouTube. We're responding to the controversy and asking why conversations about movies so often turn into full-blown online battles. But there's a bigger question at the heart of it all: How do you properly consume a movie when you're watching it to create reaction-video content, are you actually experiencing the right film?

    Join Carlos and Stephen as we explore movie criticism, online outrage, reaction videos, and the increasingly blurred line between enjoying a movie and turning it into content.

    What does it take to get people off the couch and into a movie theater?

    In Issue #15 of The Tesseract Files, we tackle one of the biggest questions facing Hollywood today: How do you convince audiences to go back to the movies when the cost of going to the theater has never been higher? Carlos is joined by iHeartRadio's Football Fridays host and comedian Luis Diaz, Football Fridays co-host Will Altoff, and former Miami Dolphins great O.J. McDuffie for a lively conversation about the moviegoing experience and what audiences really want from Hollywood.

    Is it the price of tickets? The cost of concessions? Streaming? The quality of movies being released? Or does Hollywood simply need to give audiences a reason to leave the comfort of their own homes? From sports and comedy to Hollywood and the future of cinema, this episode asks the question: Tell Me What It Takes?!
