Ever wonder why you hardly ever see one actor who always lights up the screen while you can't get away from another one who always leaves you cold?
So do we.
This week, the hosts of "How We Heard It" look at a galaxy of stars - from the old guard like Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Bradley Cooper and Sandra Bullock to new breakouts like Timothee Chalamet, Mikey Madison, Austin Butler and Jacob Elordi.
Are we ready for some of these old stars to fade away? Are the new stars living up to the hype?
This episode looks at actors who keep landing roles they don't deserve as well as some who seem underplayed. And it also takes a look at the baffling state of awards: You might be shocked by the big names who have never won an Oscar as well as some undercooked performers who have.
What's the deal, Hollywood?

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
