Answer 1

First, movies aren’t “about an hour” long, they’re more about double the running time of an episode of a series.

Second, I’d say a movie is like making a big dinner for your friends and a series episode is like a chef making one meal in the middle of a series of meals with the tools all lined up and ready.
