Episode 9: Confronting James Gunn’s Legacy
In discussing the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first proper scandal, the core AP Marvel crew of Chris, Izzy and Anthony take a deep dive in the career of Guardians of the Galaxy writer-director James Gunn. We discuss Gunn’s past filmography, what constitutes as acceptable content and satire in film, the content in the Guardians films themselves, and how the alt-right got us in this predicament long before this controversy even happened.
Content Warning: NSFW language, discussion of movies containing references to incest, sex and rape, discussion of tweets referencing pedophilia, rape and other sexual acts, Tropic Thunder‘s use of a mental disability slur, sexism in Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, GamerGate and harassment, various cases of sexual harassment post-Weinstein
Izzy’s Article: #RehireJamesGunn?: How Disney Has Now Changed the #MeToo Movement
Next Week: Cloak & Dagger Season 1 Hot Take(with special guest Sabrina Clarke)
