11m55 - Welcome back Kirk Skodis from Real Pie Media and Chris Thilk from the Movie Marketing Madness Blog...but first a quick word about the Experiment Case Study Challenge

19m onwards...we discuss the Entertainment Industry and Change, video ubiquity, choice, rights, transparency, word-of-mouth, the new influencers, Snakes on a Plane, Arctic Tale,

30m - Overnight success (3-day opening weekend) versus The Long Tail; The Industry's obsession with opening weekend...

38m30 - Vince Lombardi and the movie business - revisiting SoaP in context of experimentation; Success is often measured - instead of thinking in absolutes, consider relative disproportionate victories (examples: Evan Almighty versus Die Hard with a Vengeance), especially when it comes to independent movies

46m - A brief discussion on "platforming" and the difference between big-budget (big stunts) versus small-budget campaigns (nurture conversations from the inside-outwards)

52m20 - It almost seems like a no-brainer that conversational activation is mandatory in movie-marketing...but if that was the case, the studios would be all over it, right?

56m30 - A lot of studio blogger outreach looks very much like mainstream "journalist" outreach. There's also a lot of 30-second repurposing. We discuss (sigh) the 30-second spot.

1h01 - We talk about Poseidon and a great example of influencer outreach...but at the end of the day, the product has to be able to save the day.

1h06 - A summary of our conversation, touching on two categories which make a lot of sense for new marketing experimentation...to be continued
