218. When TV Takes Risks (with Emily Benita)

from Shot/Reverse Shot · host Shot/Reverse Shot

Inspired by the news that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is recasting a major character for thematic and artistic reasons - rather than because the original actor was a nightmare, as is so often the case - Ed and guest host Emily Benita discuss other examples of TV shows taking big risks, and whether the current glut of content has encouraged or lessened experimentation. They also try to make sense of the logic behind the forthcoming changes to the Oscars, and whether the idea of an Oscar for popular movies is self-defeating. 00:00:00 - 00:17:46 - Intro & News 00:17:47 - 01:04:13 - Ed & Emily talk about TV shows taking risks 01:04:14 - 01:10:46 - SRS Recommends & Outro
