## Resource

On this week’s episode, we take a sideways look into the sexual harassment suit filed against Mr. Beast. (That’s right: It’s a cons and nons pulled from the chat! It’s only for members, so sign up now if you want to help influence the show!) Then we review Michael . Sure, it’s dramatically inert, and yes, it whitewashes many of the potentially criminal activities Michael Jackson engaged in with children, but at least it also makes his music kind of boring! It’s a fairly savage review portion of the show. Not gonna lie. If you enjoyed it, share it with a friend!
