Welcome back to our VIP video series "Off the Beaten Path," featuring my friend Christian Toto of Hollywood in Toto! Christian and I start off our week by discussing stories and ideas that may fly under our radar, in culture, politics, sports, and more. Plus, Christian previews his latest podcast at HiT.
Do people remember "Don't Play Sun City"? Christian and Ed recall it in the context of the controversy of comedians performing in Riyadh these days, especially those who act as moral scolds in other contexts. We start off by discussing the entertainment industry's reaction to the ceasefire in Gaza and the return of the last living hostages, or more accurately, the lack thereof. Christian discusses his fascinating conversation with Michael Rapaport, and I preview my upcoming podcast with John Ondrasik about the Gaza war. We then discuss the fate of two new films, and discuss the perverted moral compass of One Battle After Another. Can Bari Weiss succeed at CBS News? And could she end up as John Oliver's boss at Warner/Discovery?
