Cancel culture has been a constant topic in comedy these days, so let's take a look back at that Kevin Hart Oscars incident and see what cancellation looks like.
We kick the new year off with a heated debate about Louis C.K., Kevin Hart, R. Kelly, and the pros and cons of this current outrage culture we live in. Oh, and the Golden Globes.
Nickelodeon announced in late March that it was parting ways with Dan Schneider, the producer behind several of its most successful and impactful kids’ shows. Most of the Hollywood trade press’ stories about Schneider’s departure stuck to the story of them parting ways to pursue other opportunities, but the long running rumors of sexual abuse have intensified as of late, and against the backdrop of the #MeToo movement there's been much speculation that Schneider would be the next domino to fall.
Another one of our idols has fallen from grace, perhaps with the hardest fall yet. How will Louis C.K.'s perversions in real life affect his legacy?
It's clearly true that these men's careers have not been ended by the #MeToo movement. In fact, the movement appears to have shaken out in a way that's been rather just.
A look at Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., and how out of whack certain narratives have gotten, related to comedy and comedians.
In this week's show we have a frank and open discussion about this seemingly never ending cycle of sexual assault accusations/revelations and what we think is driving these people in power to risk it all. Then we give our initial and spoiler-filled reactions to Season 1 of Netflix and Marvel's The Punisher, as well as our reactions to the brand new Avengers: Infinity War trailer and discuss the DC vs Marvel cinematic universes.
