Are they still making movies and TV shows now? [View all]

Social distancing must be making that impossible, it seems to me. Saturday Night Live is shooting "SNL At Home" shows. Movies that were already made but not yet released are being held now because people can't get together in movie theaters to watch them. And of course, actors and directors and film crews can't safely get together to film (video?) them. (Side question: Do they still film them, or do they shoot them on videotape or videodisc or some other medium?)

Some people are now predicting that we might have to continue social distancing for as much as two more years. Please God, don't let that happen. But if that happens, I have a feeling that we're going to be watching all the same movies and TV shows for those two years. We'll only have the ones that were already filmed (video'd? shot?) before all of this started happening.
