The Constitutionals

Would you believe it if Chad forgot to do an episode last week? He didn't. Mostly. Here's this week's topics: changes at the TONIGHT SHOW; DISNEY remakes with people of color don't make the company woke; female reviewers are outnumbered; and the origins of/difference between creators and influencers thanks to YOUTUBE. Google Assistant workers are treated poorly: https://nypost.com/2019/05/30/googl...

Late night and I'm feeling so goooood! Back again, The Constitutionals is all about the brand. Desus and Mero reference aside, we've got a lot to cover. LIVE IN FRONT OF A STUDIO AUDIENCE makes big ratings for ABC and Emmy nominations for its actors; YOUTUBE also wants Emmy noms for WILL SMITH; DISNEY is looking to work HULU into its family; and AT&T is working on its place in the media world....

Enjoy the dulcet tones of a seductive voice as Chad stays up late to record this episode. And maybe you'll be able to hear his white noise machine ;). Listen as he covers how tech IPOs like UBER and LYFT lose money before going public; female director numbers are going up (for pilots); the cancellations that came down last week; even more layoffs at DISNEY/FOX; the end of the CW and NETFLIX deal;...

Sometimes, this show is produced so well it surprises me -- Chad White, the host of the show. Just kidding. Let's get into it. SINCLAIR buys the sports stations DISNEY adopted from FOX; SUPERSTORE and NBC helps women in the industry; E! cancels "BUSY TONIGHT" but perhaps it will live on elsewhere; and CBS thinks censoring "THE GOOD FIGHT" is a good idea. It's not. It's really not. Sinclair buys sp...

It's all about the ads today! While there are no ads in the show, we darn sure will cover the topic. SPOTIFY makes it to 100 million subs; HULU hits the 28 million sub mark; NETFLIX may have to start running ads; and advertising on TV is changing forever. Spotify is the first to 100 million paid subs: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/29/18522297/spotify-100-million-users-apple-music-podcasting-free...

Back in the closet, Chad returns to tell the tales of the stories he read this week. APEX LEGENDS may be negatively affecting EA's stock; also negative, the aftershocks of DISNEY buying FOX continue; SINEMIA goes the way of MoviePass; and streaming service bundles are on the way yet poised to fail. Apex Legends interest falls, may affect EA stocks: https://variety.com/2019/gaming/news/apex-legends...

Chad's cool two-parter ends with the feature stories he's been holding onto for two weeks!

Chad returns after two weeks to give you two new episodes! This is part one of two that he recorded back to back. First run movies in-home for $3,000: https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/08/red-carpet-films-first-run-movie-rentals Digital music bad for the environment: https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8506085/digital-music-consumption-greenhouse-gas-study Ron Funches’s take on Netflix spec...

It’s a sad week for series finales and Chad is living in his feelings. Both YOU’RE THE WORST and CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND are leaving the airwaves for good. Meanwhile, JORDAN PEELE brings his new TWILIGHT ZONE to CBS ALL ACCESS and it’s passable but a slog. Then, Chad covers ONE DAY AT A TIME possibly getting revived on another streaming network; the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE saving Netflix from the Oscars...

Podcasting never felt so good. Except for all the sniffles. Chad is stung up by spring allergies but not even a stuffy nose can stop him. Except when it hinders his sleep. Then he's stopped. This week's topics include the TONIGHT SHOW shooting an entire episode with the Samsung Galaxy S10+; YOUTUBE exiting the premium TV game; and a lengthy discussion about APPLE's foray into subscription streamin...

Fresh off of finally doing some work on a set, Chad takes to the mic to discuss topics no one cares about. These include HULU's PEN15 and SHRILL -- two obscenely funny shows about women working their way to power. One is about two 30 year olds playing teenage versions of themselves while the other is about a fat female writer struggling to fit in to a skinny world. Also on the docket: GOOGLE FIBER...

Chad returns to the futon for this: a very special episode of The Constitutionals EPISODE 100! Yes. There are 100 of these things — each worse than the last. But Chad’s trying really hard, he promises. Before he gets to the topics, our host talks about a sudden death in his friend circle. Then he talks about COMEDY CENTRAL’s new YouTube channel; ANNAPURNA PICTURES losing money on every movie it pu...

Clad in jeans and his favorite flannel, Chad takes to the mic to cover the topics he loves. JASON WITTEN returns to the Cowboys; EA and BioWare's ANTHEM crashes PS4s; STEVEN SPIELBERG craps on Netflix's Oscar win; and DISNEY trying to gain controlling shares of HULU and 4,000 job casualties of the DISNEY/FOX merger are imminent. Chad's got so much free time on his hands. Too much time. Oh God, som...

As Dr. Dre once rapped, Chad has "been in the lab with a pen and a pad!" Except everything said on this show is completely made up! Not the news parts, those are real. Chad skims over the OSCARS and mostly craps on "Green Book;" DESUS & MERO's new Showtime show (also titled "Desus & Mero" like their Viceland show); high priced APPLE recognizing its high prices; and working as a mom in the...

Big things are happening and Chad's back recording in the car. Only one of those is true. Do you like movies? Because this whole episode is about movies. Most of it any way. Our boy covers the whole, terrible JUSSIE SMOLLETT situation; the ACADEMY's tumultuous road through the 2019 award season; and how head of AMAZON STUDIOS JENNIFER SALKE plans on making the video service number one. Jussie Smol...

Guess who's back? Back in the studio! Chad is back! Tell...no one? Finally returning to the studio, Chad plants his tiny waist on the futon to stumble through a handful of topics. THE LEGO MOVIE: THE SECOND PART didn't do too hot at the box office; FX must do something about its show output in the streaming era; TIVO isn't the ad killer we all thought it was; and female led films took a bite out o...

The Super Bowl was in Atlanta this year and Chad got a chance to go to the game. He had a blast! Some other stuff happened this week too like AMBER RUFFIN scoring a pilot on NBC; DISNEY's move into streaming; THE SIMPSONS getting renewed; robot journalists; and SPOTIFY making money moves. Amber Ruffin pilot on NBC: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/nbc-village-gazette-pilot-presentation-amber-ruffi...

Boom clap! The sound of your (podcast) app! The talking goes on and on and on and on and! Coming to you from [REDACTED LOCATION] -- close to [REDACTED LOCATION] -- Chad is breaking all the rules in order to drop this show like it's hot. In a hurried manner, our boy covers NBC and The Rock's TITAN GAMES; CONAN's new half hour format; BUZZFEED laying off 15% of its workforce; Fox's terrible decision...

Not even rain or being forced to record in the car (again) can stop this bad boy of podcasting! Chad returns to the mic to discuss a litany of topics including what will happen to THE SIMPSONS after the DISNEY/FOX merger and all those OSCAR nominations. Plus, Chad tries to avoid eye contact with the large amount of people that walk by his car as he talks to himself. What else is new?! The Simpsons...

A whole slew of news chewed its way into the zeitgeist this week. Chad dissects them all one by one by one by one by- you get the picture. Topics include the HULU and NETFLIX FYRE FESTIVAL documentaries that made their way onto the services within a few days of each other; streaming becoming just as pricey as cable; NBCUNIVERSAL heavily hinting about their upcoming streaming service; CBS FILMS dis...

Chad's back in the car for this week's episode. This time, he's parked outside of a coffee shop he just went to. Also there is a dog park. Nevertheless, he persisted. Plus: HULU reaches 25 millions subscribers; ROKU's stock hits new highs (after some lows); and NETFLIX's most watched shows aren't the ones it owns...which means, once the contracts are up, the streamer is going to be in trouble. You...

Chad begins 2019 by giving the gift of bonus episode of The Constitutionals (or regular episode if he was able to get the last one out on time. He covers so many topics like MICKEY MOUSE becoming part of the public domain; ROKU's streaming service sounding like APPLE's; and NETFLIX no longer selling subscriptions via iTUNES. Plus way more. Too much more? Yeah, that sounds right. Chad missed doing...

This very late episode of this podcast is also the last of 2018! Listen as Chad shares his favorite new comedy shows, movies, and podcasts from the past year. He's got good taste. He so does!

With some free time on his hands, Chad sneaks away to see CREED II. He gushes about how good the series is. Plus: YouTube Premium's CHAMPAIGN ILL starring Adam Pally and Sam Richardson is good fun; A BAD MOM'S CHRISTMAS and DADDY'S HOME 2 are straight garbage; and details on CONAN O'BRIEN's new half hour series. Finally, CHANNING DUNGEY is joining Netflix after abruptly leaving ABC as President; F...

So much is going on this week so Chad gets right to it. Not even a little foreplay there, bud? That's your favorite part! HULU and AT&T are bringing more ads (???) to their services but not in the traditional way. Speaking of AT&T, they're raising the price of online cable offering DIRECTV NOW. Also, working at NPR as a temp is stressful and “exploitative.” And, again speaking on the previ...
