| | Hollywood Shootout (2003) Hollywood Shootout is the only showbiz series that really matters. In a TV landscape crowded with tabloid news and gossip shows, Hollywood Shootout offers that most valuable of Hollywood commodities: an insider's perspective. When these shows first aired on American Movie Classics in 2003-04, co-hosts Peter Guber and Peter Bart were film-industry veterans whose collective experience placed them in the upper echelons of Hollywood power; Boston-born Guber was a former head (with former partner Jon Peters) of Columbia Pictures, co-producer of the Batman franchise, and current president of Mandalay Entertainment Group, while Manhattan-born Bart had been a successful producer and top-level executive before becoming an acclaimed book author and editor-in-chief of Hollywood's venerable trade-paper, Variety. Their conversational dynamic gives Hollywood Shootout a fascinating, authoritative point/counterpoint intelligence: Guber is an outspoken, opinionated champion of film as a corporate enterprise, and Bart is a soft-spoken, even-tempered defender of film as an art form, with a sarcastic streak every bit as entertaining as Guber's good-natured jabs at Bart's wistful nostalgia for the classic studio system. They complement each other perfectly as two sides of the Hollywood coin, and with ready access to Hollywood's elite, they attract A-list guests willing to discuss their careers with remarkable candor.
