Critics and Influencers? What is the difference and how is it solved?

Kristian Harloff is joined by special guest **StrawHatGoofy** for one of the biggest conversations happening in entertainment today: **Influencers vs. Critics.** As Hollywood continues to evolve, studios are increasingly balancing traditional film critics with YouTube creators, TikTok influencers, and online personalities to generate buzz for new releases. But who has more impact on audiences? Are critics becoming less influential? Have influencers changed the way movies are marketed? Kristian and StrawHatGoofy dive into the debate and explore how the entertainment industry is adapting to this major shift. Plus, the show covers the latest Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and franchise movie news, including concerns about Marvel Phase 7, a surprising update on the new G.I. Joe reboot, the latest trailer for Star Wars: Visions – The Ninth Jedi, and a box office update on Supergirl as the DCU film heads into its second weekend.
