HBO’s MoviePass doc is a snapshot of how C-suites kill companies
MoviePass’ Black founders finally get to speak their peace in HBO’s new documentary.
MoviePass, MovieCrash features interviews with a wide range of former employees, investors, and analysts who all speak candidly about how the company burned through hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital while struggling to make its business model work. While the time the documentaryspends with Lowe illustrates the resources white, male executives are given to move fast and break things, it uses Spikes and Watt to hammer home how much thought and care went into creating MoviePass before it was snatched away from them. If you followed the news in real time (which wasn’t all that long ago), most of MoviePass, MovieCrash will ring familiar and remind you how loud the hype machine roared when splashy “innovative” tech startups could still afford to subsidize their offerings.
