Some movies have amazing ideas… but would they have worked better as TV shows? In this episode of The Movie Knights Roundtable, we discuss movies that may have benefited from a longer format, including The Maze Runner, The Truman Show, Eternals, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Running Man, The Nice Guys, and more.

We break down which movies needed more time for world-building, character development, or storytelling and why certain concepts may work better as streaming series instead of feature films.
