In Episode 14 Crystal and Noam finally get a chance to process and vent about the 2022 Oscars. We focus on the events between Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith, as well as the disturbing sexualization of many male actors during the show. During the conversation we also discuss the larger implications of the oscar events in society. How did Will's actions impact Jada's agency? Was Rock wrong for the joke in the first place? Were either of Will's apologies sincere? And how thick should our skin be to survive in this world? See a great article about that question here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/29/opinion/culture/will-smith-oscars-roxane-gay.html
