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 Beekeeper say about our collective psyches? The revenge genre is definitely popular these days, and Christian and Ed discuss why it's related to the popularity of the superhero genre. At the same time, though, forgiveness and second chances are in the headlines of late; what does it take for us to allow artists to return after a scandal? And are some artists destined for oblivion along with their art? Plus: we discuss the politics and comedy at the Al Smith Dinner, and why Jim Gaffigan landed while Molly Shannon didn't.
Watch it all and join us in the comments!
