    "Coyote V. Acme" Warner Bros Discovery's David Zaslav Strikes Aagain!

    "Coyote V. Acme" Warner Bros Discovery's David Zaslav Strikes Aagain!

    What a Creep“Coyote V. Acme Controversy”
    Season 24, Episode 4

    In February 1980, The New Yorker magazine published a satire called "Coyote V. Acme" written by Ian Frazier. The story was about Wile E. Coyote suing Acme, the company that supplied him with the equipment he used to try and catch the Road Runner, for all his injuries over the years. 

    In 1987, the success of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" led to the combination of animation and live actors in this story. However, it wasn't until the 2020s that Warner Brothers hired writer Samy Burch and director Dave Green to bring the project to life. The film was completed in 2022, but now the parent company refuses to release it and instead writes it off for tax purposes. 

    Despite considering other outlets, the $75 million price tag makes it unlikely that Warner Brothers will negotiate another deal. The film's controversy-causing release has caused a media storm. For once, we have no trigger warnings!

    What a Creep
    Libs of TikTok
    Season 24, Episode 2

    Libs of TikTok is a far-right social media account run by Chaya Raichik. Basically, its whole schtick is adding hateful commentary to content created by left-wing and LGBTQ+ people on social media platforms.
    Libs of TikTok has been blamed for sparking bomb threats, property damage, shooting threats, written and verbal harassment, and other forms of violence against individuals, hospitals, and schools across the country. The content posted on that account is funneled directly into Fox News, The Federalist, and NewsMax to generate more outrage and stoke hatred toward the gay and transgender community.

    Sean Combs (Puff Daddy. P. Diddy, Diddy, Love) Mogul & Creep

    What a Creep
    Season 24, Episode 1
    Sean “P. Diddy” Combs

    Sean “Diddy” Combs has a notorious career as a singer, songwriter, music mogul, rapper, actor, and clothing designer. He has been trying to rebrand himself as “Brother Love” after years of rumors of bad behavior. This is going to be a tough one y’all, as we are talking about rape, assault, sex trafficking, drug abuse, and a history of violence associated with this man. Please take care as you listen.

    Today, we will give an overview of the latest lawsuit filed against in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Producer “Lil Rod,” 54-year-old Rodney Jones, who lived and traveled with Combs in 2022-2023 in support of Combs’s The Love Album: Off the Grid.”

    Peter Thiel

    Peter Thiel is a billionaire venture capitalist who cofounded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook. He’s got some bad takes on diversity, women's rights, voting, and privacy. A self-described libertarian, Thiel is also a political activist and mainly donates to right-wing politicians who want to take away basic rights from the LGBTQIA+ community, even though he’s a member of that community.

    Special Episode with Chris Derosa of Fixing Famous People “Never Will We Ever, Cover…”


    Chris De Rosa of the Fixing Famous People podcast comes on the show to chat with Margo about the subjects they are (mostly) certain they will never cover on their shows. (We reserve the right to charge our mind, however!)

    Topics covered include Erika Jayne and the HULU special. (OY!)

    Shayne Gillis on SNL https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2024/02/13/shane-gillis-hosting-snl-date/72584321007/723

    Also, why serial killers have had their time in podcasts, the actors and comedians who make us feel the ick, why podcast “experts” are usually false, whether or not people want their minds changed, the “Unfixables,” the “Invincibles,” JLo’s new movie, and more!

    Ann Woodward Murder Mystery//Feud FX Truman Capote VS. The Swans

    Ann Woodward Murder Mystery//Feud FX Truman Capote VS. The Swans

    What a CreepSeason 23, Episode 7
    Ann Woodward and the Curse of the Woodward Family

    On October 30, 1955, William “Billy” Woodward was shot in the home he shared with his wife Ann. She told the police it was a case of mistaken identity as both carried guns to bed due to a recent spate of robberies in their town of Oyster Bay, New York. Did she kill her philandering spouse, who vocalized how much he had grown to despise her?

    Ann’s eventual acquittal in the case was a local Long Island scandal until Truman Capote (who had only met her once and instantly disliked her) told a scandalized (and fictionalized) version in 1975’s Answered Prayers which insinuated Ann had murdered Billy and his mother’s money bought her out of any criminal indictments. (We talked about him last September!)So, which is true? And what brought a small-town girl like Angeline Lucille Crowell to the top of cafe society to a sad, lonely end?

Expose them!

Really enjoying the show and learning a lot about some creeps I knew and others I did not. I find myself especially loving the not-a-creep segments because they help wash the ick off my hands after listening to the stories of creepitude! I was listening recently and I think it was Sonia who said the pandemic isn’t over and then mentioned masks and they need to protect our most vulnerable. This is the episode about ugly laws. I really hope people are still wearing not just masks but respirators. It’s true. Nothing has changed really, because the vaccine does not prevent transmission, as great as it is. The pandemic isn’t over, and if this podcast teaches you anything, it’s that we need to protect each other.

ThatWasDisappointing ,

Glib platitudes

Lots of shallow “you go, girl” takes and cheap shots. I guess it’s all there in the concept and title — “ha, ha, let’s have fun throwing people we half read about under the bus!” For deeper dives and more compassionate takes, I suggest You’re Wrong About.

Message to these Baby Boomer haters

Hesthcliff is not a Jane Austen character and Holden Caufield is not a creep.
