From Johnny Depp’s response to his Dior campaign, and Pennywise’s stance on gay rights, this week left us asking, why are we doing this? We talk Gwyneth Paltrow and Harvey Weinstein, Google’s role in climate change denial and workplace abuse, Donald Trump’s comments on Chrissy Teigen, Courtney Love and the Sackler/Purdue pharma-family’s fashion line, and Lisa Bloom’s new book and the atrocities of being a celrbitry PR lawyer. We also end on what matters most to all the girls and gays across the world, the state of Nicki Minaj’s ever-evolving career. Note! We are changing our format, and will now be debuting just once a week (each Wednesday) and will continue to deliver hot topic roundups, extensive deep-dives, and listener letter happy hours each month!
