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.
Merry Christmas to all of our viewers walking with us! Christian and Ed wend their way on and off the beaten path today. We have to pull out our algebra books from high school again to review Newsbusters' analysis of late-night jokes in 2025. Do TV hosts make jokes about liberals and progressives? It's not even as often as you'd think! Plus, we take a look at the box office results for the new Avatar film, and discuss the problem of tired franchises and movies with long run times. The recent display of free speech at AmFest serves as an interesting contrast to Jimmy Kimmel's declaration that fascism is alive and well. And you won't believe where Kimmel will make that claim.
Watch it all and join us in the comments!
