417. Rotted: Brett Ratner

You’ve probably heard the name Brett Ratner but do you know how rotted he allegedly is? This week your hosts are revisiting the explosive LA Times article where six women spoke out against the disgraced director and producer. From the allegations made by Natasha Henstridge and Olivia Munn to the larger conversation about power in Hollywood, your hosts break down how Ratner became one of the most controversial figures of the #MeToo era. They also discuss the recent conversation surrounding his attempted Hollywood comeback and why so many people are frustrated seeing powerful men slowly welcomed back into the industry.

Love the celebrity deep dives with a bit of humour when needed
Relatable, witty and engaging

I love Kelli and Troy’s relaxed but always meticulously researched discussions. Kelli and Troy have wonderful chemistry as hosts and it feels like you’re just listening in on a really engaging conversation with mates. I’ve particularly adored the old Hollywood episodes! More of these please! Also anything on Winona Ryder would be fabulous. I also love the respectful way they discuss celebrities’ lives and the strong stances they take against toxic behaviour when it is deserved. Please do a tour in England some day! I’d also love to hear your stances on British gossip and celebs. Thank you Troy and Kelli! Xx

I have been listening to Troy since the smush room and have always been a fan but absolutely love these two together. They have such a witty, thoughtful approach to everything they discuss and you can tell they put in a huge amount of effort to engage in popular culture in a way that is funny, critical and compassionate. I came here for the bravo content and have stayed for the Aaron Hernandez content, who would have thought! Another UK fan here that can’t wait for you to make a trip across the pond!
