20, Episode 4
Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer is probably best known for his roles in “The Social Network” and “Call Me By Your Name.” His most recent project is the “House of Hammer” documentary, and news articles reveal that he’s an abuser, both physically and sexually. He’s a creep. But to talk about Armie Hammer, we must start initially because Armie comes from a long line of creeps. It’s practically hereditary.

What a Creep
Season 20, Episode 3
Steven Crowder

Steven Crowder is a far-right comedian and media commenter who has been getting tons of press lately for bad behavior at “Louder with Crowder,”--a very popular YouTube/Rumble channel. He claims to be a strict Christian while also being a racist, sexist, homophobic garbage person. Also--he treated his wife like shit, which is finally enough for some people to drop him.

In the past few weeks alone, he has earned the wrath of Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens, which gives you an idea of how much this guy sucks. Even the shittiest people hate him!

What a Creep
Season 20, Episode 2
Moms for Liberty

In the United States, there’s a resurgence of book banning and preventing the teaching about race, slavery, LGBTQ+ people, and history. This is the result of a certain kind of parent group that loves to talk about “parental rights” but not your parental rights. If you have a gender-nonconforming child, an immunocompromised child, a child with special needs, or a child that isn’t straight and white, no one cares about your parental rights. This is about parents of straight white children.

It’s time to discuss Moms for Liberty, a supposed nonprofit organization focusing on parental rights. They pretend to be a grassroots organization but have strong ties to high-ranking elected officials and national anti-LGBTQ groups.

What a Creep
“Disco Demolition Night: July 12, 1979”
Season 20, Episode 1

Margo and Sonia put on our boogie shoes and prepare to call bull shit on all of the excuses given for “Disco Demolition Night” on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, IL. A group of boring, racist, sexist, and homophobic idiots decided disco music had been popular for too long. For fun, Chicago shock jock Steve Dahl created a stunt to destroy LPs on the field of a White Sox & Detroit Tigers game!

Mayhem ensued due to the hyped (and hopped) up a crowd of meatheads who had decided that things like Saturday Night Fever, partner dancing, and people who were not “musicians” should have any success, much less a part of pop culture.

All of this disco fuss (which coincided with Anita Bryant's gay bashing on the news every night) makes us realize that fighting pop culture “wars” is a sad, furious (and deeply stupid)tale as old as time.

We have THOUGHTS about this one!
