Let's Make It a Block Buster Night: How Algorithms Redefined the Way Movies Are Made and Watched

Let's Make It a Block Buster Night serves as a movie guide for a new generation of film fans who have grown up without the access to video stores and shelves full of movies. Millennial and Gen-Z movie fans have always been subjected to algorithms to find new movies and discover films, and this book is a guide to getting outside of the algorithm. Author Jeff Rauseo wants readers to find their new favorite movie, help them choose something fresh and new, and make connections back to popular movies in a way that will resonate with them.

Let's Make It a Block Buster Night is a way for readers to get to know film history, the streaming wars, and film criticism to be better equipped in finding new movies that studios or streamers aren’t interested in showing.  This book is a way back to a more human way of consuming media and art. While the book will highlight what films the reader may like, it uses those same hidden gem movies to teach about the history and psychology that goes into why we love the movies we love, and why an algorithm is likely robbing you of some of your favorite movies you don’t even know exist.
