As Skydance works to integrate Paramount and Warner Bros., Sylvester Stallone tells Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi on his Power Players podcast what has changed in the business of movies. Stallone says studio heads in the 1960s and '70s greenlit films on a gut feeling, while today "it's just corporate," with big studios betting on $400 million productions and avoiding the kind of risks that once produced classics. He explains why he thinks audiences now favor fantasy and escapism, where real human stories are showing up instead, and why some streaming performances are better than most Oscar winners.
