I like standing up for common sense and artistic integrity, I don’t care who it is that is the target.

Oh no, he kept a comedic cheesecake scene that showed a woman being sexy in a campy action comedy movie?!!? Surely he is a dirt person.
That’s funny, I’m busy living my life but I still saw it!
“How effective is the skewering of bad behavior if the characters perpetuating it are never held accountable for their actions?”
“You know, I loved the show too, when I was a kid, but it’s never been anything but wildly inconsistent and uneven.”
“Yeah but I’d say the problem is THAT IS the X-Files”
Let’s all keep villainizing people who didn’t even do anything or happen to be in the vicinity of those who did, that’s very healthy, especially someone like Simon who has worked his entire career to bring light to social issues that need attention, at the risk of making some very not fun tv shows that don’t get…
Or they followed naturally what made himself and the writers laugh and just went with it? Must everything be so nasty and with the worst intentions possible? Your assertion is that she became a worse character and I and I’ll bet many others would disagree. She became more interesting and complex and, very importantly,…
I just noticed the headline...is sexual misconduct a proper term for this? It seemed more emotionally abusive and an abuse of power, but nothing physical or sexual happened, right? I’m not sure the term encompasses such a wide scope of things enough to include this. I could be wrong.
As a film major who had to take some acting classes, a sex scene class does seem like a really important and useful thing for any serious young actor, but uhh, just a total horrible field of land mines for things to get uncomfortable or inappropriate, accidentally or on purpose. And obviously you don’t exactly not…
And the idea that because the character is a woman, don’t make fun of her or show her to be silly or dumb sometimes? It’s a SITCOM. Dan has gone on and on about how Britta was his favorite character and how he was so proud of how the character grew over the years into something multilayered and hilarious. And Jeff was…
I think after what happened with him marrying and then divorcing a woman who became a huge part of Harmontown (and Harmonquest and even appeared on Community), he’s learned a lot about mixing showbusiness with your love life. His new girlfriend never ever ever goes on Harmontown, seemingly as a rule, and he keeps the…
Your connection of Dan’s personal issues with women and Britta is bizarre to me. I hated her character at first and then she became so much more likable, hilarious, vulnerable, and interesting. So this is all your perception of the character, which you are then infusing with your perception of Dan’s toxic attitudes…
If you stopped listening to Harmontown in early 2017 you have missed some fantastic episodes of Harmontown.
“I know he apologized and she accepted his apology, but fuck that, let’s turn this more toxic”
I don’t agree that Franco is the weakest link, I thought his portrayals of the twins is pretty damn impressive and I like the characters.
Still haven’t watched this. Last week’s made me furious. I don’t know what to do here. X-Files is too big a part of my life to just not watch, but why would I want to make myself feel bad?
Any interest in posting an update about how he did a long apology on his podcast and she forgave him?
What a non-story!
They are making fun of the recent reactions and shock to workplace sexual scandals that keep happening, some of them abuses of power, others debatably so (or there’s no way to know if you weren’t there.)
