Zach Abeyta on Comedy, Pop Culture & Why Entertainment Is Changing

In this episode, comedian Zach Abeyta joins the podcast to talk comedy, culture, and the state of modern entertainment.From the collapse of Marvel’s post-Endgame direction to DC’s rebooted Batman and the rise of horror gaming, Zach breaks down pop culture from the perspective of a working stand-up comic navigating the industry in real time.We also get into 28 Years Later, franchise fatigue, and whether Hollywood is still capable of finishing ambitious stories, or if everything is now driven by box office risk instead of creative payoff.The conversation expands into gaming culture, including Resident Evil, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Alan Wake 2, and Helldivers 2, and why horror games are currently outperforming horror films in creativity and engagement.Along the way, Zach also shares insight into the comedy grind, discipline, lifestyle changes, and what it takes to stay consistent in entertainment today.A mix of comedy perspective, cultural commentary, and honest behind-the-scenes talk from a working comedian.Follow Zach on Instagram: @zachabeytacomedyFollow us here!Instagram: @improvisedintelligencepod @noahvargas2🎙️Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/46eFKCrHGNkWejeT8XpcjTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/improvisedintelligencepod/Produced by Royal Tier Productions LLCIntro/Outro Theme written by Toby GomezSupport the podcast here!https://www.patreon.com/c/improvisedintelligencehttps://choppedchileco.com/
