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.
What does the NBA's gambling scandals tell us about our broken culture? Christian and Ed break it down, not so much legally but ethically, and connect it to the moral rot in our other institutions. This isn't just a game that's at stake. We also look at the creative rot in Hollywood, and the intellectual cowardice in a new film that (surprise surprise) assumes the worst about conservatives and the best about progressives. Ben Dreyfuss' breakdown of the Aaron Sorkin conceit applies more than even Ben knows, and explains why Hollywood keeps perpetuating the Little Blue Bubble.
