5. You're the Man Now

Depp v. Heard as referendum on #MeToo, and why what Depp’s father told him 40 years ago carries a different weight now

Welcome to episode 5 (previous episodes archived here), wherein six hours after recording in Paloma Media with the Fifth Column boys, Sarah has to make do with Nancy eating pie in her nightgown. But there’s discussing to be done! Including:

  • Sarah wondering whether Amber Heard is a synecdoche (a word Nancy can neither pronounce nor spell) for the cultural moment that is #MeToo

  • Why monster is a dumb thing to call people

  • The intoxication loophole and why Nancy seriously does not want Andrew Cuomo adjudicating them

  • “But the goals were noble…”

  • A Rommelmann #MeToo timeline, from Asia Argento to Kobe Bryant

  • Sarah on Christine Blasey Ford

  • Nancy on getting two black eyes

  • Speaking of getting hit in the face…

  • Ta-ta dresses and murdering clothes

  • “You’re the man now.”

  • Celebrity as vehicle for the conflicts and social anxieties of our time
