The TradesCast for Week 47- December 4, 2016

You can't stop the beat! And you can't stop these live musicals, which is a great thing because it's finally time for Hairspray, which Tom and Jeff hope is the best! Speaking of best, Netflix put its best foot forward with Gilmore Girls, and the ratings were big, at least for Netflix. Did the show do the original justice? Does it matter? SNL keeps going after Trump and he seems to love hating it. Either that, or he can't find the remote. All that and more, so stop tweeting and start clicking.

Look, Tom and Jeff obviously are going to mention Trump, but from an entertainment and media point of view - so the Hamilton thing is right up their alley.

Also, there's talk of "Fantastic Beasts," though Tom and Jeff have no idea where to find them. So click here and Be Thankful!

Who would have thought that the biggest show of the fall season is the dark comedy known as Trump-Clinton? Debates and live tweets are all good, but can it sustain a full season? Tom and Jeff check the numbers. Speaking of numbers, cable hasn't got any, and the FCC may be putting another nail in the digital coffin. All that and more, so click and debate away!

Emmys week, or should we say it's Week Two of the NFL Sunday Night Football ... and some antiquated show with funny statues that no one is watching. Don't worry. Tom and Jeff watched for you, and they have plenty of take aways. Speaking of taking, Netflix appears to be taking all of the entertainment industry with a simple plan. Spend billions and don't worry about making a profit. What could go wrong? Speaking of wrong, how come the press seems so easy to dupe that Donald Trump can make them sit up like a puppy wanting a treat? All that and more, so wipe aways your Brangelina tears and have a listen.

It's a tragic week in America, and people don't know where to put their anger and grief. Entertainment, like sports, are always looked at like silly diversions, and they are, but there's a need for that. Tom and Jeff chat about not-so-important stuff this week, but it's stuff we need when we need a break from the sadness.

Maybe cable isn't as dead as you think? Maybe you can't get by on apps alone - although Tom has joined the ranks of the un-cabled! Besides, what are you watching on the big networks, as no new hits were birthed this year. Tom and Jeff hash it out, along with the supposed death of the movie for grown-ups. Plus a ton more, so have a listen!

The movie industry is hardly taking advantage of a can't miss genre. DISH Network is trying to make a nearly obsolete media company relevant again. Sitcoms of today all have one starting point, and it's one worth honoring this week. If none of that makes sense, then you NEED this cast. So click and learn and love!

Is there a big audience for any entertainment any more, at least for anything not named The Super Bowl? Tom and Jeff talk about the Oscars, big movies, TV shows, and more that don't draw the way they used to - and what Hollywood is doing to counter that. Plus, we get into Hulk Hogan's business, so that alone is worth a click!

There was a lot of diversity with the awards this year for movies ... of course, we're talking about the Spirit Awards, which, had the Oscars looked the same would not have been called out for systemic racism. Funny, though, both groups picked the same best film. Tom and Jeff discuss the relevance of the Oscars, and wonder if it will ever change. Also, Louis CK is at it again, showing that you don't need corporate backing and a network to release content and to make money. But if you've got the money, Netflix is proving that they are this close to making the networks museum pieces. All that and more so cure the Oscars hangover with a bit of sober chat!

Maybe the Super Bowl wasn't the most super, but it certainly will be the top rated show of the year, and it was a place to see all the big commercials. Did anyone spend the $5 million per 30 seconds wisely? Speaking of live TV, Grease came and conquered in many ways. Will the other networks jump into the live musical game? Turning to news, The New York Times is getting into a "new way" of covering news--at least it's new to them. All that and more, so click and enjoy!

Oscar buzz is here, and it ain't good, although it is white. How does host Chris Rock handle it? How does it get better and more diverse? Jeff and Tom chat it out. NBC "uncovered" the Netflix ratings, and, honestly, it just makes NBC look bad. Will there be a major network with a Spanish language show? Another step is about to take it even closer. All that and more so tune in and enjoy the new year!
