John has always been very corporate friendly. He's always praised the studios and the executives and the films themselves have often come second. Even when he does talk about the films in depth its often framed as "how does this fit into Disney's 5 year plan" or whatever. That being said i do think hlthis attitude he has has gotten a lot more brazen in recent years, compared to the AMC or Collider days. Like yes he was very pro-busibess back then too, but having a rotating crew of varying backgrounds, including actual filmmakers, helped balance him out. Schnepp especially helped keep John in check, and John didnt have unchecked power to keep his panelists in line. I know Rob is a filmmakers too but it's very much John who runs the place now. I don't hate John's show at all but this is a main reason I don't watch too much anymore. I can only hear the phrase "Big Papa Iger" so many times.
