Q is excited because at least it isn’t another “franchise weekend” while Mike relates that virtually ALL Hollywood storytelling comes from intellectual property instead of original ideas. Movies are no longer based on artistic merit but only Moneyball metric-based content and it’s pretty much all crap. Welcome to Cutting Though from the Quintana Network. Q and former legislator Mike Gatto cut through the noise and nonsense of California politics to let you know what’s really going down at the Capitol and around the state.
