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.
Has Disney thrown in the towel on Star Wars? Christian Toto and Ed Morrissey discuss the surprising cancellation of The Acolyte, and reports that Ahsoka might get the axe as well. "How do you screw something like that up?" Ed asks. "The goose that lays golden eggs just started laying goose eggs." We debate whether the franchise can be rescued, and what it will take to do it. We also discuss the demand for R-rated comedy and debate whether we have it already in Deadpool. A discussion of Buckaroo Banzai's 40th anniversary leads us into a discussion of cult films and what makes them work.
Be sure to watch it all and join us in the comments!
