Things aren't looking good for Chad's personal life but he's still doing the best he can. He manages to get in a few laughs as he talks WILL FERRELL's new podcast company; STUDIO GHIBLI movies going to streaming a day after the studio said they wouldn't do that; and how to lose a job with BERNIE SANDERS.

The new TV season brings in a new DC superhero show but this time the star is a... woman?!... and a lesbian?!?! What has this world come to?! BATWOMAN premiered on The CW and, so far, it's mostly just about superhero stuff, which Chad loves. Also on the docket: Netflix's THE IRISHMAN is skipping major theaters and hitting Broadway for Oscar season; the LUMINARY co-founder is leaving the subscription podcast company that carries exclusive celebrity podcasts; and female directors are getting the leg up they need thanks to their coworkers!

He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more Constitutionals? Two topics, one episode. How does Chad stretch these into half an hour? You bet he'll figure out a way to talk for too long. The conversation includes why you'll never, ever make money from podcasting based on a new study. Plus, WARNERMEDIA is getting better at diversity all over the company!... except for in the executive offices and on set crews. But they're diverse nonetheless with almost 50/50 parity gender wise. Race is getting there. Check it out, jerks!

Hot off of the Emmys, Chad has choice words for those who voted. Where was the diversity? Should the blame be put on the 24,000 Emmy voters who had their chance to vote in more diverse nominees? You know where he's going with this. But first: VOX MEDIA acquires NEW YORK MAGAZINE and its verticals; THIS IS US gets massive ratings after it airs; NETFLIX stock is falling fast; and HBO is trying to find its place as a streamer and premium cabler.

A new television season is on the horizon. This year, broadcast networks aim to play catch up with cable and streaming platforms. Chad covers the lon list of new shows set to grace the big 4 networks. But before that, he talks about A LITTLE LATE WITH LILLY SINGH and her new place in the late night world; where NBC's new PEACOCK streaming service fits in with the other 8 major ones; and GAMESTOP is redesigning its stores for the better.

Can you believe it's been a week already? These days... there sure were seven of them. During said days, this happened: APPLE is putting its own apps first in app searches; YOUTUBERS are making explosive podcasting moves on YouTube; NEW YORK TIMES film critics cover where the movie going experience is headed in a world with monopolistic studios, streamers keeping us at home, awards and tickets; and DISNEY is (maybe, definitely) screwing over actors, producers and creators out of their residuals. Plus a lot more on this extra packed episode of goodness!

In between watching episodes of Succession, Chad managed to squeeze in one of these hot podcasts. He also managed to play the new BLAIR WITCH game. As well as being scary, it is also very, very buggy. Plus, STEVEN UNIVERSE THE MOVIE is one of the best translations of TV shows to movies (the same goes for DRAGON BALL SUPER: BROLY too). Finally, what happens to a book author's sales when they're added to Oprah or Reese's book clubs? And all the corporation mergers have killed off the middle ground of Hollywood.
