With nothing new of note in theaters this week, and a cacophony of doomsayers predicting the death of cinema (again), it's time for Earth's Mightiest Critics to assess the landscape and offer some hope--tentative as it may be--for our beloved art form.

Join us for a round table discussion about the current state of blockbusters, indies, movie theaters, and streaming services--and our best guesses for the future.

We also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
