Tyler and Brian sat down to discuss why TV wasn't good for so long, whether he wants viewers to binge his shows, how he'd redesign movie theaters, why some smart people appreciate film and others don't, which Spielberg movie and Murakami book is under appreciated, a surprising fact about poker, whether Jalen Brunson is overrated or underrated, Manhattan food tips, who he'd want to go on a three-day retreat with, whether movies are too long, how happy people are in show business, his unmade dream projects, the next thing he'll learn about, and more.
