You mean the Mel Gibson who has since gotten six Oscar nominations?

Oooh yeah that’s trash behavior right there.

The Shark Is Broken, a fictionalized account of the filming of Spielberg classic Jaws.

an entire body of work steeped in the belief that toxic masculinity is the organizing principle of the cosmos

This sucks dude.
