He did some really incisive interviews when he had a good guest on, but I think the sycophancy grew over time. I can’t remember which episode it was, but the guest was starting to make a statement, and Hardwick jumped all over them in his rush to demonstrate that he shared their viewpoint. The guest then said, “No,…

This coming from the guy who’s already littered this comment section with at least 10 stupid comments as I type this?
Why do you feel the need to say stupid things in public?
Yvette Nicole Brown can take over the AMC aftershow panels.
Both.
I gotta wonder, is headbutting indicative of hard fucking, or just incompetent fucking?
Disingenuous. That’s the word. Never liked him and it was always undefinable beyond “not ever funny.” I’m not happy to be “right” or feel justified. It always sucks when another person is outed as an asshole. I’m glad Dykstra is healing and as an added bonus we can all forget Hardwick was ever anything but a…
Go back and watch some old clips from Singled Out, because that dude used to be a massive dick on that show. Don’t know if it was the result of a lot of his drinking he used to do though...
Never noticed any undercurrent of anger but he’s always seemed disingenuous. Always preferred WTF to Nerdist because Marc Maron is an asshole but he’s upfront about it.
It was clear listening to episodes of the Nerdist Podcast (nee whatevver dumbshit name the podcast has now moved to) from that era when that relationship was happening, Hardwick was dating Dykstra mainly for the geek cred her father could provide him, as someone who had worked on effects on the Star Wars films. It was…
His mask would slip on @Midnight all the time, particularly towards the end of its run. I had always liked him (underdog fuck-up makes good is a compelling story) but when that would happen I wondered about who he was when got angry.
I look forward to Hardwick’s response, not because I believe anything he says can absolve him of this, but in my sincere hope that he fesses up, admits he was in the wrong and retreats from the public eye because he knows he doesn’t deserve forgiveness for this. I also, selfishly, want to believe he’s changed as a…
In my experience, a drunk asshole is still an asshole when they’re sober. Likewise, I know a lot of really great people who are still perfectly great people even when they’re drunk.
This is some The Secret based concern trolling.
How about we not hope that people have been abused, just to take people you dislike down a peg or two?
Always got a weird vibe form Hardwick. Like for all the happy go lucky persona stuff, that dude has legit nerd rage, too.
“People arent allowed to speak publicly about how someone hurt them because the person who hurt them might get hurt.”
She would be PERFECT for my new film starring Jessica Chastain, Christina Hendricks, Bryce Dallas Howard, Haley Bennett, and Isla Fisher!
good thing your opinion literally doesn’t matter.
If it is Chris Hardwick, I agree, fuck him. That’s a horrible thing to do. But don’t say it’s nerd culture because it’s not... it’s the entitled culture, which can overlap, but it’s important to know there is a distinction there.
