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.
Today, we started recording just after AMPAS announced the Oscar nominations. Christian and I look at a couple of controversies in the voting, especially around Barbie, and assess whether Hollywood has become more tolerant — or just more polite. We talk about the news of possible ‘diversity’ remakes of two classic movies, and why neither of us are afraid of it … but still a bit skeptical nonetheless.
Be sure to watch it all and join us in the comments!
