Chad wears a tuxedo as he picks his Oscar faves! He's a snazzy baby boy, isn't he? Plus a bunch of stories including SPOTIFY's latest acquisitions and its strong arming of the podcast space; THE RINGER and BARSTOOL acquisitions are for the digital space; women and people of color numbers are rising in front of the camera but falling behind it and more!

1 hr 6 min - S1E143 - Episode 143 - Homogeneous!
We're back with all the gossip you've been wanting to hear! Who got fat? Who is dumb? Where has my little dog gone? None of those questions will be answered. Instead, we talk about Joe Buck's tenure as a sports commentator; artificial intelligence's place in Hollywood; and what the heck nanoinfluencers are and why/how their constant use of their cameras are changing how you act.
Joe Buck talks to THR:

36 min - S1E142 - Episode 142 - Oh. My gosh. Children.
Charity is the name of the game in 2020 and we are in the thick of it. Chad volunteered at a children's book fair. Kids like him. And he didn't get sick. Yet. It could always happen. Plus: we have screeners of Comedy Central's AWKWAFINA IS NORA FROM QUEENS; fat women are no longer the butt of the joke in television; and CMT is playing male and female artists equally.
Fat women are leading ladies, not jokes:

32 min - S1E139 - Episode 139 - Still Pointing, Still Going Through
Chad is back for a regularly scheduled episode! Finally! How dare he let his procrastination take effect this late in the game. This week, he talks the GOLDEN GLOBE nominations and how they are still very white and very male (but mostly white). Plus: THE GAME AWARDS and YOUTUBE gets aggressive about hate speech and harassment and people are mad for some reason.

29 min - S1E138 - Episode 138 - What Is A Baby Yoga?
This is a late episode of this show. I think. I lost count. Chad talks about a whole litany of stuff. Plus, he took on the role of an extra for a day and he tells you why you may not want the entry level "acting" job.

47 min - S1E137 - Episode 137 - that's all that matters
Chad returns from Thanksgiving break with a articles about network mid-season schedules. Such sexy stories on deck. Oh and he hangs out with famous people now I guess. Dikembe Mutombo, a couple of ESPN and Fox Sports analysts. You'll have to listen to find out who.

29 min - Episode 136 - Captain Phillips X Sully
Cold and alone, Chad recounts the week in entertainment news. He saw the new FORD V FERRARI movie on his day off; Latino people are thriving on TV; as are women and directors of color; and HBO Max is looking to be the cable bundling of streaming services, which, no. Just no.
LatinX TV shows thrive:

38 min - S1E135 - Episode 135 - It's Like Seinfeld
Chad saw one of the final performances of Phoebe Waller-Bridges FLEABAG and it was a true joy. And he succumbed and gave DISNEY+ a try. It's not that bad. He just wants to watch The Simpsons. PLUS: ROKU makes a pretty penny off of every user; FRESH OFF THE BOAT sets sail for cancellation; and ABC is giving delayed ratings more precedence above initial ratings. I promise you that is a good thing for your favorite shows.
