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? Contrary to popular belief, the reason is not audiences or marketing, but Wall Street. 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 hedge funds, asset managers, venture capitalists, private equity firms, and derivatives traders set the tone for the movies, TV, and popular music you enjoy.
