  • Summary

  • Mike and Duncan begin by going over some recent current events, including the situation in Myanmar. By the way, neither of them know anything about Myanmar, but they won't let that stop them! There are also some reflections about Trump's Impeachment 2.0. After that, strangely enough, there is some talk about sports! Mike and Duncan aren't really that into sports, but they're both Cubs fans! Finally they get into the main topic at-hand, which is the recent controversy surrounding Gina Carano getting fired from The Mandalorian for espousing right-wing views. Why is society so obsessed with the personal conduct of its artists? Shouldn't we just be able to appreciate art without worrying about whether or not the people producing it are morally perfect? "NO!" replied society.
