Frank Langella and Fred Savage get poleaxed for vague reasons because "intention doesn't matter," while Sarah and Nancy discuss the expanding definition of abuse
Also, though two different sets of circumstances, the tone of attacks (maybe too strong a word) directed at Amber Heard right now, especially on social media, seem reminiscent of what Monica Lewinsky endured when her affair with Clinton was revealed. Heard may end up being the guiltier party in this train wreck of a relationship (I’m holding of judgment until her side has been fully argued in court) but no matter the outcome I’m disappointed to see our society hasn’t learned that particular lesson. Goes for Jada too (who I’m no fan of). They don’t deserve to be dragged like that. I’m not sure if Depp’s career will recover, but can’t help thinking Heard’s might be over.
Agree with Nancy about the Substack app. Notifies me whenever an episode drops from any of my subscriptions. So much easier than email. I’m using the app right now to type this comment in fact.🙂
One thing I find is that when someone like Fred Savage or really anyone is accused of impropriety, it is very hard not to think”where there is smoke... That’s the tragedy of false accusations, if in fact they are false. In our minds that person will always be tainted. Yes, you can go back and correct it if it’s false but I think that once the seed is planted in the minds of people, it’s very hard to uproot it.
Once you described the actor fired from Netflix, I knew exactly who he was because he has been creeping me out since 2005 in "Unscripted" on HBO. Did anyone watch this show?

Brave podcast, babes. You're vocalizing my thoughts about biology, fate, freedom and motherhood. Keep smoking. Signing on for subscription now.
No judgment but I can’t believe Sarah hasn’t seen Russian Doll yet! And, new David Simon show on HBO is good https://www.hbo.com/we-own-this-city

Another great discussion. Sarah and Nancy go deep but always remain entertaining!
