Burning It Down: The Hollywood Cult(ure)

Your favorite impromptu book club is BACK!

We’re continuing with Maureen Ryan’s book Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood, where she lays out the many issues in Hollywood and how they have led to cycles of abuse and irreparable harm.This week, we covered chapters 3 and 4: tackling myths of value in the industry, as well as myths of nonconformity. Hollywood is home to undervalued staff and seems to close its doors to anyone who speaks out against unjust incidents. Tune in as we explore this topic deeper.
