I’m probably just dumb (or at least not very hip), but what does Glen mean by “tent pole pictures” at 0:14?
My quick search didn’t yield any results that made sense in the context of movies or pop culture. (everything seemed to be about literal tent poles, of numerous varieties)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At first I was thinking something about kicking back against your tent pole while watching a good movie, outside during a camping trip of course. Yeah, I know, pretty silly… This was a new phrase to me also so I asked Meta AI this question…
What does “tent pole pictures” mean? It’s said in the context when talking about watching good movies.
This is what I got…
When discussing movies, “tentpole pictures” refers to big-budget films that are expected to be hugely successful and support the financial structure of a studio. These movies often have:
High production costs
Well-known stars or franchises
Wide releases
Potential for blockbuster success
Tentpole films can drive box office revenue and sometimes spawn franchises or sequels. Think superhero movies, sci-fi epics, or big animated films!

Makes sense to me!
@Lynnerizer Thanks, that makes sense. (It sounds a little weird, but believable. And certainly not the weirdest term in the industry.)
