HiT 286: Debunking George Clooney's Mad Media Defense

Hollywood in Toto with Christian Toto

In this episode, we dive into George Clooney's defense of modern journalism and how his recent comments fall flat. Clooney, who is known for his outspoken views, recently attempted to defend the state of journalism in connection with his Broadway revival of "Good Night, and Good Luck." His credibility took a hit after refusing to address President Biden's cognitive decline until the very last moment. We unpack why this contradiction undermines his stance and explore the broader implications for how celebrities and media figures engage with critical issues.
Additionally, we’re joined by dancer, filmmaker, and activist Julie Eicher to discuss her upcoming documentary, The Antidote. Julie takes us behind the scenes of her powerful project, which uncovers the dark undercurrents of the creative community and the systemic issues that stifle true artistic expression. In this candid conversation, Julie explains how exposing these flaws is essential for art to thrive and create real impact.
