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.
Robert F. Kennedy's running mate Nicole Shanahan has a great idea for a new comedy. Will conservatives and libertarians put their money where their mouths are? The Rash, a project written by novelist Walter Kirn, will satirize the pandemic and the "trust the science" manipulations. Christian and Ed talk about the obstacles ahead for Kirn and Shanahan, and not all of them may be financial. We also play Fantasy Casting Agents briefly in the hope that the project succeeds.
We also discuss the surprising retreat from politics by the auteur behind the most political Oscar nominee this year, and what it might signal. Christian and Ed also delve into a controversy at the BAFTA awards involving a Tourettte's sufferer who finally got recognition – and whose illness created an excruciating scandal for everyone at the awards show. We discuss the need for grace all the way around.
Watch it all and join us in the comments!
