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.
Does Twitter/X really look more like America? Christian Toto and Ed Morrissey briefly plot out their BlueSky strategies, but wonder just when Americans will feel comfortable outside of their own bubbles. We talk about the cultural impact of social media and what used to be called "epistemic closure" by the Left when conservatives watched Fox News. We also discuss Disney's Rachel Zegler problem again in that same vein as well as its legal issues with Gina Carano. Audiences want to go to the cinema, as Gladiator II and Wicked are proving again, but not to be insulted. That brings us to the question of celebrity endorsements, and who they really serve. All this and more in our latest episode!
