    Toxic Fandom: Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel Universe, DC, & The Lord of the Rings
    Jul 19 2024
    What a CreepSeason 25, Episode 10Toxic FandomIn this week’s episode, we’re talking about toxic fandom. From “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” to the MCU and “Lord of the Rings,” these so-called fans resort to bullying, racism, misogyny, and even death threats—all in the name of a movie, TV show, or video game that they claim to love.

    George Washington and the Tale of Ona Judge (REPLAY)
    Jul 4 2024
    What a Creep (Replay!) Season 20, Episode 7George Washington and the Tale of Ona JudgeGeorge Washington is the “Father of Our Country” and one of American history's most revered Founding Fathers. We heard tales of how brave he was and that he could not tell a lie. He also famously refused to create a fiefdom with the office of President, which means we are not stuck with someone in office unless they are duly elected. Like many white people of his time, he enslaved people. This is a fact, and though not unusual in his peer group--it's not a great look for a person who is enshrined all across the United States. People want to downplay his racism and evil acts. Listening to Bill Maher and Elon Musk minimize his actions made us realize we need to dive into one of the first President’s most heinous acts by talking about badass Ona Judge. An enslaved woman who escaped from the President’s home and remained free despite his relentless pursuit of her. This woman is an American hero whom everyone who truly believes in liberty and freedom needs to learn about and memorialize her contribution to history.

    This is a list of movie characters who we are supposed to like, but, in fact, they’re a real asshole, or even worse, a real fuckin’ creep.

    The Killing of Dominique Dunne by John Thomas Sweeney & NON-Creep Theresa Saldana "Victims for Victims"
    Jun 21 2024
    What a CreepSeason 25, Episode 7The Murder of Dominique Dunne by John Thomas SweeneyDominique Dunne, known for her role in the 1982 film "Poltergeist," had a bright future. Tragically, her life was cut short on October 30, 1982, when her ex-boyfriend strangled her, John Thomas Sweeney, outside her West Hollywood home. She never regained consciousness and died on November 4, 1982, at just 22 years old.The trial that followed sparked outrage. Sweeney was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, not murder, and served only three years of a six-and-a-half-year sentence. This lenient sentence highlighted severe flaws in the justice system's handling of domestic violence cases. Dominique's death brought attention to domestic abuse, prompting her family, especially her father, Dominick Dunne, to advocate for victims' rights and legal reforms. Her legacy endures through these efforts and her memorable work in film.Trigger warning: Domestic/Partner Violence Sources: Vanity FairVanity Fair May 2008Vanity Fair March 1984Los Angeles Times December 3, 1986E True Hollywood StoryAll That is InterestingCity JournalVarietyVultureThe Friday Afternoon Cub: A Family Memoir by Griffin DunneThe Murder of Dominique Dunne by Erica Thomas and Troy McElfreshDominique Dunne WikipediaPeople Magazine October 10, 1983SlateBe sure to follow us on social media.

    Creepy Character Actors: Stephen Collins & Jeffrey Jones
    Jun 15 2024
    What a Creep
    Season 25, Episode 6
    The character actor edition: Stephen Collins & Jeffrey Jones

    Stephen Collins is known for his role in the wholesome WB drama series “7th Heaven” from 1996 to 2007. Jeffrey Jones is probably best known for the cartoonish principal in “Ferris Bueller's Day Off” or the clueless dad in “Beetlejuice.”
    These character actors have probably appeared in some of your favorite things to watch, but they’re also creeps.
    Trigger warning: Child molestation and digital child sexual assault
