The Constitutionals

Cold and alone, Chad recounts the week in entertainment news. He saw the new FORD V FERRARI movie on his day off; Latino people are thriving on TV; as are women and directors of color; and HBO Max is looking to be the cable bundling of streaming services, which, no. Just no. LatinX TV shows thrive: https://variety.com/2019/tv/features/from-one-day-at-a-time-to-party-of-five-latinx-tv-shows-see-a-b...

Chad saw one of the final performances of Phoebe Waller-Bridges FLEABAG and it was a true joy. And he succumbed and gave DISNEY+ a try. It's not that bad. He just wants to watch The Simpsons. PLUS: ROKU makes a pretty penny off of every user; FRESH OFF THE BOAT sets sail for cancellation; and ABC is giving delayed ratings more precedence above initial ratings. I promise you that is a good thing fo...

Want to learn what a NAS is? Tired of not hearing the ramblings of a mad man? Join Chad and his favorite flannel as they dive into Apple TV+ whose slogan is "It exists!" Plus: THE ONION lands a new podcast deal; NBC's PEACOCK streaming service might be free; DISNEY+ will not be ad free; and more! The Onion gets back into podcasting, this time with Sony Music: https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/...

Chad was recording this episode on Halloween AND THE POWER WENT OUT. IT WAS VERY SCARY. There's an episode preceding the event but IT WAS STILL SO SCARY, MY BABIES. Plus: digital cable package PS VUE is dead says Playstation; AMAZON FRESH is free for Amazon members; Kanye made the interview rounds for his album JESUS IS KING; and WarnerMedia released details about HBO Max including confirming its...

Let's pretend real life isn't happening by talking about hot TV ratings, sexy vault talk and a steamy reason why Chad doesn't read think pieces anymore. Get ready for hot takes! Plus: AMAZON shows land viewership ratings; DISNEY is putting Fox movies in the vault...which is not good; and ROBERT DENIRO AND AL PACHINO get profiled in the New York Times! Amazon Video added to Nielson: https://deadlin...

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. Will Ferrell’s new comedy podcast company: https://deadline.com/2019/10/will-ferrell-iheartmed...

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 subscripti...

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 offic...

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 fi...

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 i...

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; an...

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 ad...

Is it a week when there's not a podcast? Yes. That's how weeks work. Chad rambles on forever about THIS WAY UP starring Aisling Bea on Hulu; another study from the USC ANNENBERG INCLUSION INITIATIVE that covers Latino representation in Hollywood; and YouTube's fight against a growing union. This Way Up (Hulu): https://www.hulu.com/series/this-way-up-d5d09794-e8a4-44e6-87ec-c3705cd1bbd4 Latino repr...

The podcast is back, ready to talk straight smack about internet people making videos without much substance. Chad doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings but it's time to delineate between what's eye candy and what's a full feast. Also: MEGAN ELLISON is doing her best to keep ANNAPURNA PICTURES out of bankruptcy; and VARIETY'S cover story of Conan O'Brien "revolutionizing" podcasting is...so far f...

Late and chock full of peanut butter, it's The Constitutionals podcast! This week Chad covers: the new VIACOM/CBS merger and its perceived inability to be as big as Disney/Fox; Disney's broad reach in film and its concern with FOX movies not making billions like theirs; TV deals coming in waves and more! “Vice News Tonight” moves to Viceland: https://deadline.com/2019/08/vice-news-tonight-lands-vi...

Chad hits the airwaves to bring you his favorite topics of the week. This time he praises A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW; laments the E! NEWS layoffs; digs CBS ALL ACCESS's new kids shows; and believes the New York Times Magazine profile of NIC CAGE is engaging! E! News layoffs: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/e-news-layoffs-1203294183/ CBS All Access kid shows: https://deadline.com/2019/08/cbs-all-acc...

C+ Comedy has officially moved! A new office in the second bedroom of an apartment is just what we needed to make things better. Chad talks Comedy Central's new show SOUTH SIDE; REFINERY29 becoming part of Vice; and new features on the Google Pixel 4! Refinery29 could be bought by Vice: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/vice-media-talks-acquire-millennial-media-refinery29-1203281915 Google Pixel 4'...

With all this news, it's hard to keep newsing...news... I am so tired. Chad continues his march down the rabbit hole of berating streaming networks. Netflix cancels TUCA AND BERTIE and creator Lisa Hanawalt has some words for the streamer; CINEMAX may have a minimal amount of time left; LILY SINGH's new late night show has its writers but the LA TIMES points out that, again, late night lacks in wo...

Chad is back on the futon to mess things up! On this, the eve of San Diego Comic Con, all the good news comes from last week. The EMMY nominations dropped and they're as white as ever! Everyone saw this coming. And BIG LITTLE LIES saw an upheaval creatively behind the scenes. Emmy Nominations: https://deadline.com/2019/07/emmy-awards-nominees-2019-list-shows-nominations-1202646541/ Emmys decline i...

Chad has returned from his third ever vacation and he's packed with adventure stories to share with you! Plus, he's got some words about how modern movies like THE LION KING (2019) can look superb but also be very, super duper not so good. But what is "good" and "bad" anyway? Disney remakes, that's what...is...them. Site: http://www.cpluscomedy.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cpluscomedy Faceboo...

Chad's away on vacation this week but he made sure to record an episode of your favorite podcast. This week: the four great daily news podcasts. THE DAILY! UP FIRST! POST REPORTS! WSJ WHAT'S NEWS!

Pre-vacation Chad is the best Chad. Carefree and chalk full of things to talk about, our host returns to the desk wearing a shirt he might have worn in recent episodes. As for the topics: DC dumps VERTIGO in favor of a new string of comics; ONE DAY AT A TIME finds a home on POP TV; SPOTIFY says it paid too much money to artists and wants it all back; and hot EMMY takes from Variety. DC kills Verti...

Who would have thought that twice in one week, Chad would be talking about Vice? No one? Because they're not reading this part. Right right. Hey, we've got a handful of hot topics to cover. Let's get to it: BUZZFEED journalists walkout over union disputes; VICE sees a dramatic drop in web traffic; female driven BOOKSMART failed in the box office, can LATE NIGHT prevail?; and SAM BEE laments on bei...

Another late episode has Chad covering just a single topic. He also goes over an incident at the Atlanta Braves game that doesn't put humanity in the greatest of light. "Vice News Tonight" cancelled: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hbo-cancels-vice-news-tonight-josh-tyrangiel-depart-1217028?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium Site: http://www.cpluscomedy.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cpl...

End your week with this hot piece of chic! Rhymes aren't Chad's strong suit. But he sure as heck can host a show. Just check out these hot topics (Hey, that should be a store or something!): layoffs at VICE...again; everybody wants to work with JJ ABRAMS; DC Universe's SWAMPTHING has been cancelled due to taxes; more! More layoffs at Vice. Again: https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/vice-media-di...
