The #MeToo movement struck hard and fast in the film industry, capturing international attention for much more than a few news cycles. It exposed some of the men who abuse their power, and highlighted what women have dealt with for decades. But is it enough to truly change an image-based industry? What are the deeper forces at play? Are we changing the way we watch movies in the face of technological as well as social disruption? What on earth is going on with the movies?

Ben chats with Mike Sheppard, host of a new show on CFRC radio show called Screening in Kingston; and Wendy Huot, owner and operator of the popular downtown Kingston cinema, the Screening Room.
