Once again, Americans are asking how to end mass shootings. With
consensus on gun laws unlikely, some are turning to Hollywood to
help change the narrative. Can those who control the levers of
culture shift the public's relationship with guns? Guest host Elise
Hu speaks with former video game creative and now TV writer Nadra
Widatalla about a world where on-screen heroes don't rely on
guns.

Plus, seriously, why are movies so long? It isn't scientific but it
sure feels like movies are racking up the minutes. Elise chats with
Variety reporter Rebecca Rubin about total runtimes — and if they
aren't actually getting longer, why does it feel that way?
