Episode description
As the Oscars get underway, the internet is still in outrage mode following actor Timothée Chalamet's comments about 'no one caring about' ballet and opera anymore.
Is Chalamet being an arrogant upstart or does he have a point? Jez and Jules chat about these art forms that are literally hundreds of years old, and how ballet and opera companies are clapping back.
Julia Baird and Jeremy Fernandez chat about the stories you're obsessed with, the stuff you've missed and the things that matter. Episodes drop every Wednesday afternoon. We want to hear from you! Join the conversation and email the show at notstupid@abc.net.au
