This week on Brilliant idiots, Andrew Schulz is back after a little break, catching up on life, culture. From breaking down the behind-the-scenes grind of making a major film to geeking out over the legacy of Street Fighter, they dive deep into what’s shaping today’s entertainment world.

The convo doesn’t stop at movies Charlamagne and Andrew get real about how social media fuels political drama, including the viral Charlie Kirk moment, and why empathy matters more than ever in such a divided time. They also unpack the struggles of the Democratic Party, the rise of young voices in politics and Hollywood, and how authenticity is changing both comedy and the culture at large.
