On today’s episode, Carly is joined by director Jimmy Giannoupolous, entrepreneur Vincent Harrison, and (drumroll) actress Ashley Benson! – best known for her role starring in the hit series Pretty Little Liars – to talk about their latest film 18 and Over, which is being released first to 18 and Over NFT holders only.

In this first-of-its-kind episode Carly attempts to speak not only to her NFT-native audience, but also our friends outside the NFT industry. The four talk about why NFTs matter, social media’s impact on Hollywood and Ashley’s career, how the media get it wrong (whether about celebrities or crypto!), and how 18 and Over is trying to build a new model for film development and movie collectibles!

Plus, Carly and Vincent nerd out about why NFTs are a perfect fit for the film industry, how Vincent and team are trying to bring back the digital version of “DVD director’s cuts,” and the clever “rebate” program Vincent has implemented to additionally reward NFT holders.

Enjoy!
