In this special episode of the Explaining History Podcast, recorded just days before the 2026 Academy Awards, we're joined by film and media historian Monica Sandler of Ball State University to explore what the Oscars tell us about American culture, power, and the film industry itself.Monica brings her deep expertise to bear on these questions, tracing the Oscars back to their founding in 1929 as a deliberate attempt to reframe film as an art form—a response to the 1915 Mutual Decision that denied movies First Amendment protections and labeled the industry "plain and simple" commerce. From Will Hays's 1930 speech describing the awards as "an educator of public taste" to the New York Film Critics Circle's 1936 declaration that the Academy was "completely out of touch," the tension between industry insiders and cultural arbiters has been there from the start.We dive into the economics of awards campaigning—how smaller films depend on Oscar success for profitability, while blockbusters don't need the validation—and the transformation of that process by Harvey Weinstein, who turned awards campaigning into a brutal, multi-million-dollar blood sport. The rules the Academy has had to create in response tell their own story.The conversation also grapples with the Oscars' troubled relationship with race and representation. Monica discusses the 2016 #OscarsSoWhite movement, which forced the Academy to overhaul its membership—then 90% white, 75% male, with an average age of 65—and the complicated legacy of that change. We talk about the first person of colour ever nominated, Merle Oberon in 1936, who passed as British and whose racial identity was unknown to the public, a poignant illustration of the barriers that existed.And we look forward: to the rise of streaming, the consolidation of media conglomerates, the threat of AI, and the question of whether the Oscars will remain relevant in a world where young people watch YouTube, not Hollywood. Monica argues that while broadcast ratings may decline, the social media visibility of awards moments—like Michael B. Jordan's recent SAG Awards win—shows that cultural impact is simply being measured differently.**Topics covered:**- The 1915 Mutual Decision and Hollywood's quest for artistic legitimacy- Will Hays and the "education of public taste"- The economics of awards campaigning- Harvey Weinstein's transformation of the Oscar industrial complex- #OscarsSoWhite and the Academy's membership overhaul- Merle Oberon and the history of passing in Hollywood- #MeToo and Harvey Weinstein's legacy- The future of film in the age of streaming and AI- Media consolidation and the concentration of power*Monica Sandler is a film and media historian at Ball State University, currently completing her book manuscript, *The Oscar Industry*, based on her doctoral research at UCLA with unprecedented access to the Academy's internal archives.

Part 3 picks up right where we left off in Part 2. While she was still working that real estate job, Sonia was treating dating like a part-time job. She signed up on several dating sites (this was before swipe apps like Bumble). She went on many awkward coffee dates. Then a friend introduced her to a guy, and the two hit it off right away. They were inseparable from the moment they met, in 2008. They moved in a couple months later. In 2010, they got married, and had a kid shortly after that. But in the middle of all this amazing life shit, Sonia was smacked with a breast cancer diagnosis. She was 38. Sonia had never necessarily wanted to be a mom. She was always happy for friends when they started having kids, but figured it just wasn't in her stars because she wanted a different kind of life. But her new partner and eventual husband told her it was a deal-breaker, and she figured, Why not? They moved from Dogpatch to Glen Park around this time, because they wanted to raise their kid in The City but needed more space to do that, and the options weren't great. Their son was born and they began raising him, eventually getting him into SF public schools. When the kid was about two-and-a-half, Sonia and her husband started to wonder whether he was on the autism spectrum. A positive diagnosis was made eventually. Sonia praises The City and its programs for kids with special needs. And, like some kids on the spectrum, he's obsessed with public transportation, so he's in the right place. (If you listen all the way through to the end of this episode, you'll hear his recording of a BART announcement.) Like most of us, the pandemic did a number on Sonia's little family. Their version went like this: The marriage did not survive. Ed note: We had Sonia and her then-husband on for our Valentine's 2019 episode. After the break-up, at Sonia's request, we took that episode down. She says that before the pandemic, she imagined that the relationship was as good as it gets. In hindsight, she thinks maybe her second breast cancer diagnosis, after her son was born, broke her husband. Up to that point, he'd been a great partner and excellent dad and solid caretaker for his wife through her first bout. The second diagnosis, coupled with a worldwide pandemic, inspired him to do not great things. Sonia tried to save the marriage, but some of her girlfriends took her down to the Madonna Inn and, as she puts it, "shook the shit out of" her. Her new reality meant figuring out what to do every other weekend when she didn't have her son. It was a lot of going to movies solo and doing 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles while listening to podcasts. The road to healing involved early stints on dating apps, but usually only to wake up the next morning and immediately pull back. She's really learned to love her alone time. We rewind back to 2015 to talk about the origins of a big part of Sonia's life today—podcasting. She and her now-ex-husband launched Old Movies, New Beer, a show where they'd drink a beer that was new to them while chatting about some film from the past. She enjoyed it, but he fell off quickly. A friend from her movie theater days hit her up to do a show about movies, and so Dorking Out was born. It also didn't last long, but in that time, Sonia started discovering podcasts she liked. There was F This Movie and Book vs. Movie. One of the Book vs. Movie hosts was Margo Donahue, and Sonia was a fan. She reached out and the two started following each other. The love was mutual. Dorking Out had Margo on as a guest and she and Sonia gelled so well, her co-host essentially became a third wheel. When he left for unrelated reasons, she kept having Margo come back on the show. Margo slid in to become the show's new co-host. The two became as close as you can living across the continent from each other. One day, Margo shared an idea she had for a new show. She wanted to call it Seriously, Fuck That Guy. It was amid the Me Too Movement, and they'd talk about whatever piece of shit man they wanted (think: Kevin Spacey or Harvey Weinstein). But every episode would end with someone who's not an asshole. Sonia was in, no question, but she thought maybe they needed a different name. It was early 2017, and What a Creep was born. Early episode creeps included Lance Armstrong and Newt Gingrich, someone Sonia considers an OG creep. When Sonia and her ex split up, Margo was her main support. They continued doing What a Creep until 2025, when Margo suddenly passed away. They were supposed to record one day last year and Margo didn't show up. Sonia called and texted mutual friends and eventually called NYC police. Sonia had to decide whether to keep What a Creep going. She settled on having rotating guest hosts on (Erin of Bitch Talk Podcast was on recently to talk about Dick Cheney; we're in talks to have me on soon as well, which I'd be stoked to do). She appreciates the community that has developed over the years around the show. She loves it so much that it's what keeps up her presence on Facebook. I ask Sonia whether there are any San Francisco creeps we might hear more about in the future. She mentions our mayor and our governor while saying that the show leaves space for so-called roads to redemption. I like that. But I also suggest doing episodes on AI or the stupid-ass billboards all over The City. In contrast to that, we end the episode with Sonia talking about the kind of tech we do want. We recorded this episode at Rosamunde in The Mission in January 2026. Photography by Jeff Hunt

Send a textWith Episode 8, our hosts put their Gray Days behind them, wrapping the short Season 16 with THE IMMIGRANT (2013), or as it was a.k.a.'ed during its short development and prior to its delayed release “Low Life” and “The Nightingale.”  James Gray teams back up with cowriter Richard Menello to write a period drama role explicitly for Marion Cotillard whom Gray met through her then-partner director Guillaume Canet during their work together on the oft-mentioned Blood Ties also released in 2013. The story follows the hard luck of Cotillard's titular immigrant as her likewise Polish emigre sister is confined to a medical ward on Ellis Island during immigration while Cotillard's Ewa Cybulska is offered an opportunity to remain in the States through the kindness of Joaquin Phoenix playing a pimp and former child immigrant named Bruno Weiss in the actor's fourth and to-date final Gray film role. Cotillard's immigrant forms a brief love triangle with Jeremy Renner's magician and brother-to-Bruno character Orlando The Magician until he ***SPOILER*** runs off to Iraq to defuse bombs as one of the Avengers who just shoots arrows or something. J/k. It's a Gray film. You know someone is going to die. Maybe it's the magician. Maybe it's the sister. Maybe both. Stay awake to find out, or give this episode a listen.   This episode, Harvey Weinstein returns; Ken tries renaming the podcast; Ryan and Thomas are spot on in their estimation of the film; and our boys rank the eight-film oeuvre on The Gray Scale.     Next week, we're on smoko but will return with Hacks (mild pun intended; Surgeon General's warning: do not consume the first episode of Season 17 if you're preggers).    THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Shirley Temple became a household name before she was even a teenager, adored by millions while growing up in an industry that often had a dark and nefarious underbelly. Others, like Bug Hall, who played Alfalfa in The Little Rascals, have spoken about the darker realities behind child stardom and some of the positively wicked things that took place with him in the industry. And it doesn't stop with child actors. Even major Hollywood stars have spoken openly about the hidden cost of making it to the top. Actresses like Sharon Stone and Charlize Theron have described an industry where power and opportunity often intersect in uncomfortable and sometimes disturbing ways, including the long-discussed reality of the casting couch. In a post-MeToo and Harvey Weinstein era, but currently in the middle of the Epstein revelations, how do we safeguard those around us and reach those who have been taken advantage of or given in to the pressures of the industry?

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan Rittenhouse and Cameron McAllister engage in deep theological reflection on the Epstein files, cultural corruption, and the crisis of meaning in the modern West. Referencing figures like Harvey Weinstein and drawing cultural parallels to excesses reminiscent of Nero, they explore why revelations of elite abuse, power, and moral collapse no longer shock us—and what that says about our spiritual condition. Are Christians becoming cynical, or are we awakening to the emptiness of fame, wealth, and influence as ultimate goals? Interacting with themes echoed in the “He Gets Us” Super Bowl campaign and thinkers like Aristotle, Nathan and Cameron examine the biblical concept of telos—our God-given purpose—and contrast radical individualism with the shared story of Scripture. Through reflections on the Emmaus road, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Church's role in restoring shared meaning, this conversation equips believers to pursue true human flourishing in Christ amid cultural decay. If you're a Christian seeking serious theological analysis of current events, cultural commentary grounded in biblical truth, and practical wisdom for faithful living in a confused age, this episode will challenge and encourage you.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Join us for the very first episode of "The Rip" as we examine recent investigations by Mike Winger involving allegations tied to Shawn Bolz, Todd White, and leadership accountability within Bethel Church, through the lens of Luke 8:17 and 1 Peter 4:17.We then shift to cultural exposure surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein massive document releases, discussing public figures mentioned, such as Bill Gates, Jay-Z, Harvey Weinstein, Pusha T, Prince Andrew, and Brett Ratner.The conversation continues with faith entering the mainstream through moments involving Nicki Minaj, Jelly Roll, Brandon Lake, and reflections on the cost of public faith, especially as we saw at the Grammys.We close by addressing Scripture, celebrity, and true surrender through LeBron James, emphasizing that the Bible is not a quote for motivation but a call to follow Jesus as Lord. We are praying for Lebron, Kanye, and Justin Bieber, as this is a unique opportunity to choose life over darkness.

In 2003, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein joined forces with a small group of high-powered figures, including Michael Wolff and Mortimer Zuckerman, in a bid to purchase New York Magazine. The group submitted a multimillion-dollar offer in hopes of seizing editorial control and rebranding themselves as major players in the media world. Although their bid ultimately failed—coming in second-lowest—the attempt reflected Epstein's broader interest in media ownership and narrative control. Not long after, he partnered again with Zuckerman to invest millions into another venture, Radar magazine, which fizzled out after only a few issues.What makes this story particularly disturbing is not the failure of the deal, but what it represented: two disgraced men with a history of predation trying to buy a platform that shapes public opinion. Epstein and Weinstein weren't just looking for financial investment—they were seeking cultural legitimacy and a shield from scrutiny. The attempted acquisition of a reputable magazine was a calculated move to soften their images and possibly bury or spin the stories that could one day undo them. It's a stark example of how the powerful use media not just to shape markets, but to rewrite their own sins.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-media-connections-weinstein-career-2019-7

The latest release of more than 3 million Justice Department documents related to Jeffrey Epstein suggests that his sex-trafficking operation may have been broader than previously acknowledged, potentially involving third parties despite earlier official claims that there wasn't enough evidence to investigate others. Among the newly disclosed materials are victim testimonies and FBI memos indicating that Epstein may have directed girls and young women to other powerful men, including allegations linked to figures such as movie producer Harvey Weinstein and financier Leon Black, although neither has been charged in connection with Epstein's crimes. The files also contain internal government materials and references to explicit content, prompting renewed scrutiny of how law enforcement handled information about other individuals' involvement and raising questions about prior assertions that no evidence existed to pursue such inquiries.Attorneys for Epstein's survivors have criticized authorities for failing to fully investigate or disclose the involvement of third parties and for protecting powerful individuals while exposing victim details. The documents reinforce long-standing suspicions that Epstein and his close associate Ghislaine Maxwell used sex trafficking not only to exploit minors but also to foster influence over prominent figures. The release is part of an ongoing disclosure process under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but it has already reignited debate over accountability, transparency, and whether all relevant records — including potential evidence about other participants — have been adequately disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Epstein files reveal he may have trafficked girls to others despite official denials | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: Satanic ritual abuse, sex trafficking, and Harvey Weinstein survivor and whistleblower, acclaimed actress, model, artist and painter, and a brilliant woman who has risked her life to shine a light on the darkness of her life and the lives of other victims and survivors: Paz de la Huerta Born on September 3, 1984, in the vibrant heart of New York City, Paz grew up in Tribeca surrounded by art, privilege, and hidden shadows. The daughter of a women's rights activist mother (referred to here as Judith) and a Spanish duke from noble aristocracy, her early world blended creativity with horrendous abuse - including childhood exploitation, family fractures, and a childhood marked by control and trauma that spanned continents.From a tender age, Paz turned to art as her lifeline - painting imagined safe havens and dollhouses to escape the chaos. That same creative fire propelled her into acting, where her raw, magnetic talent shone. With her striking beauty, fierce sensuality, and depth that evoked classic Hollywood sirens, Paz earned a scholarship to Saint Ann's School and graduated with one of the highest IQ scores in its storied history - proof that her intellect burned as brightly as her beauty and on-screen presence.Yet beneath the spotlight, Paz life hid unimaginable horrors. Childhood incest, familial trafficking by those closest to her, exploitation tied to powerful figures like Harvey Weinstein, and brutal assaults that shattered her trust.The last time Paz was on, we discussed her childhood, upbringing, early abuses by her father that later led to her mother selling and trafficking her to the ‘hightest bidders' like Harvey Weinstein, the emotional and physical turmoil Paz was suffering throughout her successful career as an actress and model, how art was her saving grace and outlet, a scandal involving Lana Del Ray, her pursuit for justice, and much more. I'll have the link to that episode in the show notes and highly recommend listening if you haven't already.Today, we will be continuing where we left off - exploring the devastating and severe attempts on her life that were orchestrated on-set of her films and during her treatment by doctors who were supposed to be caring for her, the spiraling health crises including brain trauma, the relentless control that came from those closest to her, her journey into whistleblowing, her spiritual awakening, her safer life on the farm with her beloved animals after escaping brutal abuse in Madrid five years ago, her newest projects and aspirations, animal rescue efforts, and her dreams of building orphanages to protect vulnerable children.DONATE TO PAZ'S GOFUNDME: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-paz-fundraiser-for-spanish-criminal-lawyers-andCONNECT WITH PAZ:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paz.de.la.huertaIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefugitive1984/CONNECT W/ EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comSubstack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: Support the show

If you've been listening to Dead Certain, the new show about the Martha Moxley murder, you probably know Andrew Goldman. But we had him on a couple years ago. He's talking about Harvey Weinstein. Before  Weinstein's serious crimes were exposed to the public, he was simply known for being a successful — and notoriously volatile — film producer. When Andrew Goldman attends the same ritzy event as Harvey, an altercation turns into a full-on fistfight. In his hilarious telling of the unbelievable true story, Goldman reflects on the disturbing ways powerful people have wielded control over the media.

High-profile attorney Alan Jackson — fresh off the Karen Read case and Harvey Weinstein trial — just walked away from Nick Reiner's defense two weeks before arraignment. Why? We're breaking down the theories: Is the family cutting Nick off financially? Did something in discovery make Jackson run? Or is this simply a case too complicated for even the best defense money can buy? Nick Reiner is charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele Reiner, allegedly stabbing them in their bedroom after an argument at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party. He's been diagnosed with schizophrenia, reportedly had a conservatorship in the works, and spent the night after the alleged killings in a blood-covered hotel room. The DA hasn't ruled out the death penalty — in a state that hasn't executed anyone in twenty years and literally dismantled its death chamber. We're answering your questions about what psychosis means for this defense, why the Menendez comparison doesn't hold up, and what Jake and Romy Reiner are facing as they navigate losing both parents to their own brother. This case has everything: celebrity, wealth, addiction, mental illness, and a family that tried everything and still ended up here.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #AlanJackson #TrueCrimeToday #KarenRead #DeathPenalty #SchizophreniaDefense #CelebrityCrime #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, sex trafficking, and Harvey Weinstein survivor and whistleblower, acclaimed actress, artist and painter, and a brilliant woman who has risked her life to shine a light on the darkness of her life and the lives of other victims and survivors: Paz de la Huerta A little bit about Paz and what we will be talking about today: In the glittering yet treacherous shadows of Hollywood, where dreams collide with darkness, Paz emerges as a beacon of unyielding resilience - a survivor who has transformed unimaginable hell into a powerful call for justice and artistic rebirth. Born on September 3, 1984, in New York City, Paz's life has been a whirlwind of triumph, trauma, and tenacious comeback.The daughter of a women's rights activist mother - who we will be referring to as Judith - and a Spanish duke and rancher father descended from nobility; Paz grew up in the artistic heart of Tribeca. From a young age, her world was steeped in creativity and privilege - her mother rented apartments at 311 Greenwich Street, including one to Miramax during Paz's teenage years. But beneath the facade lay profound struggles.By 14, Paz had already launched her acting career, earning acclaim for her role as Mary Agnes in The Cider House Rules, a Miramax production. Paz's ascent continued with roles in films like A Walk to Remember and the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, where she captivated audiences and became a focal point of Season 2. In 2010, at a Golden Globes afterparty for Blue Valentine, Weinstein - who produced the film - forced his way into her Greenwich Street apartment and raped her - repeating the violent assault weeks later. The trauma compounded in 2011 on the set of Nurse 3D, where a stunt vehicle struck Paz, dragging her 10 feet and causing severe injuries. Surgery by neurosurgeon Aaron Filler in 2013 relieved the pain, but he later inflicted a brain injury in 2016 amid lawsuits. Her health spiraled: overdoses, miscarriages (one induced by a handler), and false hospitalizations orchestrated by her mother and godmother. Paz has shared heart-brokenly that her mother, Judith, trafficked her to Weinstein, spied on her via connected apartments, and stole her earnings, leaving her penniless while living lavishly.Paz's life is a testament to unbreakable fortitude. From Tribeca's streets to Hollywood's heights and depths, she reminds us that truth, art, and courage can conquer even the darkest lies and crimes. As she rebuilds - acting, painting, and advocating - Paz inspires us to speak out, heal, and reclaim our power. The siren survives, and her voice echoes eternally.DONATE TO PAZ'S GOFUNDME: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-paz-fundraiser-for-spanish-criminal-lawyers-andCONNECT WITH PAZ:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paz.de.la.huertaIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefugitive1984/CONNECT W/ EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodLead to GoldThis is what wellness looks like in real life - no social media BS. ✨Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Donna Rotunno, Criminal Defense Attorney & Fox News Legal Contributor, calls into the program to talk about the federal and state cases against Luigi Mangione, with Rotunno explaining the legal “hook” charges used to bring the murder case federally and criticizing public support for violent criminals. She also addresses the latest developments in Harvey Weinstein's legal situation, offering her view that while Weinstein committed moral wrongs, his continued incarceration is unlikely to change, and concludes with commentary on President Trump's authority in foreign affairs and the predictable political backlash surrounding it.

Three weeks ago, Nick Reiner had the best criminal defense money could buy. Alan Jackson — the attorney who got Karen Read acquitted, who represented Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey — was building what looked like an insanity defense backed by a two-hundred-million-dollar estate.Today, Jackson told a Los Angeles judge he had "no choice" but to withdraw. Nick Reiner now has a public defender named Kimberly Greene. She was informed last night. She had thirty seconds to speak with her new client before the hearing.Sources tell Deadline that money is the likely reason. The deep pockets apparently dried up.This is significant. For seventeen years, Rob and Michele Reiner's money was the solution to every crisis Nick created. Eighteen rehab programs. Seventy thousand a month in treatment facilities. A guest house on the family estate. And when he was arrested for allegedly stabbing them to death, sources said the estate was funding his elite defense.That pattern appears to have finally broken.Jackson held a press conference outside the courthouse. He said Nick is "not guilty of murder" under California law. He said his team had investigated the case "top to bottom, back to front." He said he remains "deeply committed" to Nick's best interests. But he's not the one arguing the case anymore.DA Nathan Hochman responded: "We are fully confident that a jury will convict Nick Reiner beyond a reasonable doubt of the brutal murders of his parents."Nick's arraignment is now February 23rd. No plea entered. No bail. And for the first time in his life, he's facing consequences without someone writing a check to soften the blow.#NickReiner #RobReiner #AlanJackson #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #PublicDefender #MicheleReiner #ReinerCase #MurderCharges #AccountabilityJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
