It's the first full-length episode of the New Year, and the Hotties aren't pulling any punches. They start the show with a discussion of the latest Male Disappointment, Aziz Ansari. They talk about the piece, male entitlement, and the ways the discourse is letting us all down [1:46]. Then, they pivot to another Hollywood bummer: the new Taraji P. Henson movie Proud Mary, and why Sony Pictures abandoned it [26:17]. Things are looking up in Hey Facts Tho – KW considers the wild ways of Catholicism, and CT shares some freak-deaky animal knowledge [37:10]. And of course, the Hotties have the usual culture for your involvement [57:47]. Join them won't you?
