Sequels, reboots, franchises, and songs that remake old songs! Does it feel like everything new in popular culture is just derivative of something else or something old? Join UCSD Media and Popular Culture professor Andrew deWaard for a stimulating discussion of his new book Derivative Media: How Wall Street Devours Culture and how the financial sector is destroying culture and set the tone for the movies, TV, and popular music you enjoy.
