On this segment, we watch a political ad. No, we're not getting that sweet campaign fund money quite yet. We were just told it was funny. And it was. Sad, but funny.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hollywood might be on the downswing. But that doesn't mean movies are making no money - far from it. It's just that half the ones making money are low budget indie horror movies. Is that a good thing? It is if you're sick of endless sequels and derivative works. Not so much if big budget spectacles are more your speed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The 2025-2026 TV season is over, and the numbers are in. Broadcast TV is in the tens of millions again. Netflix is still higher, but still.

Childhood obesity is a major issue. Diet is the biggest factor there, easily. But is fitness lagging as well? Vinnie thinks that kids these days aren't being made to exercise in school like they used to. Mike disagrees. The rest of us are still thinking about that matzo ball soup. In moderation, of course.Topics:Comics Unleashed isn't doing so wellPeople aren't watching late night TVThe decline of the deliGene Simmons breaks Lassman's deskVinnie Tortorich's business woesFitness in schoolSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A long time ago, a movie came out called The Blair Witch Project. That's not totally relevant, except for the fact that it made hundreds of millions off a small budget. There's a new movie out called Obsession and it's shaping up to be the latest low budget horror movie to make bank. I guess after years of movies with budgets to rival the GDP of a large city, audiences are looking for something different.Topics:Kyle Busch dies during a training exerciseColbert has his final showMakeup/wardrobe inconsistencies in moviesHockey fightsGilbert GottfriendMandalorian and GroguObsessionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remember Ed Sullivan? Statistically, you probably don't. The man has been dead for 50 years. But you've heard of him. That used to be the power of talk shows. If we're still talking about any of the current hosts fifty years from now, I'll be shocked. You know what we'll definitely be talking about? Hangnails. They're the human condition.Topics:Ed SullivanLocal media is dyingJesse and JohnnyTormented geniusAimee Bock sentencedBemidjiCuticle clippersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
