Amid unprecedented tumult in entertainment (and the world), The Hollywood Reporter talks to the stars, executives and rank-and-file workers struggling to cope, the experts soothing nerves and the fortunate few who are finding peace in troubled times: "You learn to not let your stress control you."

With comic book and fantasy fare dominating the box office and TV ratings, The Hollywood Reporter gathered producers Shawn Levy ('Stranger Things'), Salim Akil ('Black Lightning'), Jason Blum ('The First Purge'), Jonathan Nolan ('Westworld'), Melissa Rosenberg ('Jessica Jones'), Robert Kirkman ('The Walking Dead') and Simon Kinberg (the X-Men films) for a thought-provoking discussion about how the geeks have come to rule Hollywood.
