This week: Joe's box office breakdown, the mixed reviews of Coppola's experimental opus, "Megalopolis," straight from the Cannes Film Festival, and Joe's brilliant legal plan to save the career (and, possibly, the life) of Sean P. Diddy Combs. 

Also, Joe explores the film, "The Long Game," about Latino golfers getting discriminated against in the 1950s, and his new streaming obsession, "Sugar" on Apple TV. Joe talks about what is changing in Hollywood that makes it so an award winning film actor like Colin Farrell can go from leading in Hollywood blockbusters to making millions per episode on a streaming format.

Joe Escalante's Weekly look at the business end of showbiz. Joe talks about the legal dangers of stagediving. Also, the latest look at the box office... The new Planet of the Apes is AMAZING!!! And Joe talks about the life and work of Roger Corman, and Joe's connection to the B-Movie film legend.

Happy Mothers' Day!

Joe Escalante's weekly spelunking into the business end of showbiz. This week: buying TV networks and mingling with stars (somewhere in all of this is Les Moonves)... Also, the latest box office numbers, and the best way to make it into Hollywood (here's a hint... LEARN TO WRITE!!!), and Joe flexes some legal muscle, talking about the new non-compete laws. Some people think it'll help people in the long run. Joe thinks companies will figure out ways around it. FASCINATING! 

Also, "Quiet on the Set" has Nickelodeon on its heels. Everyone is distancing themselves from the fallout of the child s@x abuse allegations made in the documentary. Joe gives his two cents... 

Theme park reporter for the OC Register Brady MacDonald joins Joe to talk about the latest from  Disneyland. This week: Joe talks about ways to cut down on crowding in the park, including no strollers, no bags at all, and no diapers (because diapers will be free!!!!). Also, Disney guests are abusing the disability pass. This used to go by ignored, but now they are punishing the liars with a lifetime ban from the park. And, California Adventure is finally getting a parade again (first time since the pandemic!)!! 

Take that, line skippers!!!

Joe Escalante's weekly exploration of the business end of showbiz... This week, he's live right behind the main stage at the coldest Coachella ever (and you could tell!)!!! He was backstage for the first big gig for Sublime, and saw the No Doubt reunion. Also, the latest legal battle from the shoot that happened on the set of Rust... this time, the medic is suing for pain and suffering. Joe just thinks she was doing her job, but whatevs... Also, there a writer who wrote an article in the early 1980s about the Top Gun Academy in San Diego who thinks he should have gotten paid for the sequel... Good luck with that!

And Gascon has another issue on his hands, this time from a star of Game of Thrones. May want to ACTUALLY investigate that one... And Shohei Otani... damn, bro. $16 million... And we're didn't even even in May!
