Gunnison, an entertainment industry veteran, as well as co-host and co-founder of the Politics + Media 101 podcast. \\n\\nThe first part of our two-part interview centres around a piece by Ross Douthat, in which he claims that waning interest in the Oscars signals the end of movies as "the central American popular art form".
