      • Episode 217 - Nine Stupid People

        Another late episode just in time for the Emmys! Whatever this show is called returns to the digital airwaves to talk about all the studies involving women, Latinos and Hispanics both in front of and behind the camera. Numbers rose however not by much. What does the industry need in order to make them go higher? Plus: Emmys! But no nomination/winner recaps. We're getting back into race, baby! This year's show lacked winners of color even though it was a record year for nominees of color. What the butts?!

        • Women actors rise, women behind the camera stagnates
        • Latino, Hispanic representation is marginalized in film
        • Emmys 2021 Winners

          • Episode 216 - The Quote Unquote Nightmare Is Over

            Extra big episodes are the best episodes. At least that's what research tells us. Yes, our experts may be a bunch of children we hired with handfuls of candy but they are still as unbiased as they can be. Also they eat Lunchables while the rest of us are able to buy lobster thermidor. Suckers. Plus: VICE drops the SPAC life; GOOGLE & APPLE lose in the app store cases; SUBSTACK is moving into Hollywood; TIKTOK's algorithm is negatively impacting teens; and more!

                • Episode 215 - Sports Is Big

                  Back at it again, here's an episode of this podcast with the name that doesn't make sense in your podcast feed. The host laughs at his own jokes yet refuses to let anyone in on the cohosting duties. Why should he? He's just that good. Plus: TUBI is sporting sports programming; HULU finally gets HDR; shortest TV hosting gigs including MIKE RICHARDS's "term" with JEOPARDY; and what's coming on the fall TV schedule!

                  • Spotify's own podcast subscription platform

                      WE. ARE. BACK. Don't ask where we were; just know we missed you while we were gone. Who's we? You thought there was only one host? Maybe we've got a surprise for you. Maybe a certain host has gained a co-host. Maybe this is all a ploy to have something interesting to write in the description. You'll never know! Plus: APPLE's new podcast subscription platform is not good; how the OLYMPICS helped PEACOCK; NATE BURLESON joins CBS THIS MORNING; and HBO MAX's TV app is getting replaced.

                        • Episode 213 - Did I Say FCC?

                          Chad wen through this entire episode calling it 212 instead of 213. He's very tired and refused to look it up. We are disappointed in him. He is a bad host. Please cancel him. Plus: SOUTH PARK's mega deal; FANDANGONOW merges with VUDU and ROKU benefits; LORNE MICHAELS has a message for his current cast; and more.

                              Did you know actors can sue their employers?
