An excerpt from his master's thesis (which he is letting me read) entitled: Changes and Trends in the American Film Industry and Their Impact on the Vietnam Subgenre, 1965-1990:
This thesis documents significant changes in Hollywood from the birth of the Vietnam subgenre in the mid-1960s to its notable fall in popularity at the close of the 1980s. This is the story of the filmmakers behind the pictures, the audiences that supported the films, and the industry that effectively crushed the subgenre's popularity by the close of the decade.
