There's a new bonus episode available to my Patreon subscribers today ($5 tier)! This is the fifth part of my series on film stardom, and in this one I talk about some of the big changes that occurred when the old studio system collapsed and the ramifications this had for stars. I then move on to talk about the career of one of the greatest stars of the post-classical era (and my favourite actor), Robert De Niro!
