What a Creep

What a Creep Season 8, Episode 2 Elvis Aaron Presley Elvis Aaron Presley is one of the biggest rock stars of all time and is known as “The King of Rock & Roll.” Beginning with his meteoric rise in the mid-1950s to his sad decline in the 1970s, Elvis is still one of the most popular celebrities in the world with his estate earning $80 million in 2018. He remains the best-selling solo artist in recorded history. He has had the most songs charting in Billboard magazine top 40. He has the record for selling the most albums on the Billboard 200. He holds the record for most gold records of all time (solo artist) and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018. There have been dozens of books and movies made about him and his life. John Lennon once said he did not think the 60s were truly over until Elvis’ death. Bob Dylan described hearing Elvis for the first time as feeling as if he had busted out of jail. His sexy onstage presence set America & the world on fire.  The world is filled with Elvis impersonators and his legacy will last forever. He was also a major Creep when it came to women with much of his time focused on girls as young as 14. He could also be a mean asshole to his close friends, associates, stage crew, and family.

What a Creep   Season 7, Episode 8 Evel Knievel “Creepy Daredevil” Evel Knievel is a true American-made superstar who is considered the father of extreme sports and the idol of several generations of folks who love the thrill of this death-defying jumps he created and the personae he created.

But even though he has been gone for over 13 years now, his name and his legend are still revered by many who found him an inspiration in a dreary time in the world. Trigger Warnings: Physical abuse, child abuse, verbal abuse, racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism.

What a Creep   Season 7, Episode 4 “Joss Whedon” Joss Whedon is one of the most prolific & successful writers, directors, and producers in the entertainment world. He is the brains behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Angel, The Cabin in the Woods, and Justice League. He is famous for his strong female characters, witty dialog, and love of the supernatural and geeky things. He made labeling yourself a feminist a cool thing for men to do.  He’s also a bit of a Creep as his wife of 15 years (Kai Cole) can attest.

Also, he has been accused by actor Ray Fisher of abusive behavior on the set of Justice League. Other actors and crew members have since come forward about his less than professional manner both on and off the set.  Our main sources for this episode: Joss Whedon Wikipedia Variety The Cut The Guardian The Wrap Vice IndieWire The Mary Sue Screenrant Hindu Times (Hollywood News Service) Film Daily Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and you will never miss an episode.  Also, be sure to follow us on social media!
