"Obsession" star Inde Navarrette says Gen Z moviegoers do not want corporate slop in movies: “Gen Z just wants to go to something that they don’t feel like they’re being sold.

We grew up with commercials that are fun that we still quote like State Farm and Aflac. It’s kind of fun. But we don’t want to be sold. We want original stories.

We went originality and we want to feel.” (via The Kyle Buchanan Show) variety.com/2026/film/news/i…
