The Constitutionals returns to a new year, same attitude! Join Chad, a ghost, a cat, and nobody else as one of them covers whatever entertainment ampersand business news is available so early in the year. ROKU buys QUIBI shows; women directors reached high heights in 2021; and The Daily host MICHAEL BARBARO muddies up the New York Times/Caliphate debacle.
Episode 179 - Extremely Superfluous
One of Chad's plants is dying a slow death. He's given it everything but it's not long for this world. Do you think it'll make it to Halloween? Also this is a podcast. Plant Killer Chad talks about representation on Netflix's cancelled GLOW; QUIBI is dead; and CONAN O'BRIEN might not be in late night in a couple of years.
Episode 175 - A Fun, Feel Good Time
With so much happening in the entertainment business world, this entertainment business podcast is full of entertainment business news you crave. QUIBI might be up for sale after its poor release; journalists leave regular periodicals for patron-funded newsletters; and ViacomCBS turns PARAMOUNT NETWORK into a movie focused channel and more. Plus: video podcast viewers get a special look at De Brutas, Nada -- a new show starring Tessa Ia, who was interviewed by Chad (the host of this show in case you forgot, dummy).

Episode 153 - Mostly Vertical
Two shows ended long runs this week. MODERN FAMILY split everyone up after 11 years. SCHITT'S CREEK walked down the aisle after 6. Chad watched the both. Pretty run of the mill episode here. Also Chad is in his bed ;))))))) Plus: QUIBI -- a premium mobile video service -- launches in a world where everyone is at home watching their phones. How will Jeffery Katzenberg and Meg Whitman's platform featuring shows and movies starring Sophie Turner, Will Forte, Titus Burgess, Chance the Rapper and a slew of other top talent fair during a time in which the target audiences are spending time inside?
