The movies we watch shape our ideas of what it means to be a man, whether it's a good guy, a tough guy, a high-school lover or a violent anti-hero. From teen rom-coms to superheroes, Bobby De Niro to Bladerunner, Hollywood sends us often conflicting messages about masculinity, heroism, consent and gender. Join Lucah, Richard and Sarah and their special guests as they delve into one thrilling (or trashy) man-movie per episode.

Episode 101 - Cancel Culture & the Response to Aziz Ansari
Should we "cancel" an entertainer who's been accused of misconduct or abuse? There's so much to say about Ansari, the Parks and Recreation comedian and creator of TV series Masters of None, we split this chat over two episodes. Join us and special guest Krista Hunt, York adjunct professor and sexual violence educator, as we delve into a conversation about the trickier areas of consent triggered by the 2018 accusations against Ansari — and whether women can be coercive, too. We also rewatch a scene from his show hailed as "feminist" at the time. In Pt. 2, we'll chat about Ansari's July 2019 comeback comedy special, which kind of addresses his allegations, but also kind of doesn't.
