This week, I examine the constant flip flopping the 2019 Academy Award Show has done including but not limited to the reinstating of the cinematography Oscar announcements and the Kevin Hart hosting controversy. I also dip my toe into the Jussie Smollett controversy which only gets weirder by the day. Oh and uhhhh, I talk about what it's like to get a vasectomy... because sharing is caring.

--- Bryan Singer Sex Abuse Allegations ---

*As stated in this episode, all the allegations discussed are allegations and have not been proven in court. The purpose of this commentary is not to condemn Bryan Singer but to point out the hypocrisy in Hollywood when it comes to sex abuse allegations. I'm suggesting that the sex and orientation of the accusers dramatically changes the way the media covers the story and that male victims, especially gay male victims, are not taken as seriously as female victims. This is my opinion only and the stories quoted come from published stories about Bryan Singer and his associates.
