What a Creep: Errol Flynn "Old-Timey Hollywood Creep" (Orignally played Oct 2019)

What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 9Karl LagerfeldKarl Lagerfeld was a fashion designer best known for heading Chanel for over 30 years. He was one of the first designers to channel their fashion leadership into becoming a public figure. He developed this image as “the Kaiser,” a too-cool snob with dark sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and a ponytail that got him almost as much attention as his designs for Chanel.Sure, he was a fashion icon, but our man Karl was also fatphobic, racist, and misogynistic. What a creep.Sources for this episode: AP NewsBusiness of FashionChoupette’s InstagramThe Daily BeastThe GuardianJezebelThe New York TimesThe New York TimesThe New York Times TimeYahoo NewsYour TangoWikipediaBe sure to follow us on social media.

What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 8The Creepy History of the “Desperate Housewives”"Desperate Housewives" was a famous American TV series from 2004 to 2012 set in Wisteria Lane, a seemingly perfect suburb. The show followed the lives of women and their families, uncovering secrets, scandals, and mysteries. The main characters included Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo, Bree Van de Kamp, Gabrielle Solis, and Edie Britt, each with their unique romance, betrayal, and drama storylines. The biggest drama, however, was behind the scenes with accusations of racism, sexism, harassment, workplace abuse, bullying, and general assholery.

What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 7Diane DownsDiane Downs gained infamy for the 1983 shooting of her three children, one of whom died, in Springfield, Oregon. The case became highly publicized due to the shocking nature of the crime and the subsequent investigation and trial. On May 19, 1983, Diane Downs drove her children to a rural road and shot them at close range. She then drove VERY SLOWLY  to a hospital, claiming that a “bushy-haired stranger” had shot her and her children during a carjacking attempt. However, inconsistencies in her story and evidence led investigators to suspect her involvement in the crime. Anne Rule’s book Small Sacrifices was turned into a TV movie starring Farah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal that garnered huge ratings. Trigger Warning: Child abuse & murder.Sources:Diane Downs Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_DownsWillamette Weekly: https://www.wweek.com/news/2023/10/04/oregons-parole-board-isnt-likely-to-release-diane-downs-anytime-soon/ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com/US/1983-diane-downs-stranger-shot-kids-police-decided/story?id=61683920Crime Museum: https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/famous-murders/diane-downs/Distractify: https://www.distractify.com/p/diane-downs-children-nowAll That is Interesting: https://allthatsinteresting.com/diane-downsSmall Sacrifices by Ann Rule: https://www.amazon.com/Small-Sacrifices-Story-Passion-Murder/dp/0451166604Diane Downs on Oprah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsMXTsU4eqEDiane’s daughter: https://abcnews.go.com/2020/video/diane-downs-biological-daughter-finds-truth-birth-mom-618806721989 TV Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fUk6XsmIAEFor our non-creep, check out Camp Hope for Kids, a nonprofit camp for grieving families. Be sure to follow us on social media.

What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 6Kirk Cameron & Candace Cameron BureKirk Cameron starred in the ’80s sitcom “Growing Pains,” which made him a teenage heartthrob. He was never our guy. We’re Jason Bateman and Michael J. Fox girlies. His sister Candace Cameron Brue starred in “Full House,” TV movies, and more recently “Fuller House” on Netflix.At some point in their lives, they got on the Evangelical Christian train, which they then started using as an excuse for their homophobia. They love to talk about how god provides salvation, but they use God for deflection. Let’s talk about it.Sources for this episode: AdvocateBiography (Kirk Cameron)Biography (Candace Cameron Brue)Fundie Friday on YouTubeGoodReads (review of “As You Grow”)Media MattersPoliticoSalonShowbiz CheatSheetVarietyWonketteWikipedia (Candace Cameron Brue)Wikipedia (Kirk Cameron)Be sure to follow us on social media.

What a CreepRoyal Family PR FiascosSeason 24, Episode 5With the latest news of an insanely unusual news cycle that, unfortunately, includes Kate Middleton being diagnosed with cancer, we decided to speak to supreme royal expert and friend of the pod Kristen Meinzer of the Daily Fail podcast to talk about what the heck is going on with the House of Windsor. With baffling (or complete lack of?) strategic communications, a frighteningly low number of royals who can pinch-hit while King Charles is convalescing, and novice photoshopping--can this get any weirder? Sources for this episode:Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/22/catherine-princess-wales-has-cancer-she-says-video/?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alertBuckingham Palace will pay $32K for a “Communications Assistant!” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/21/buckingham-palace-communications-assistant-kate/ US Weekly: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kate-middletons-photo-of-queen-with-grandchildren-was-manipulated/ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/kate-middleton-spotted-prince-william-amid-photo-editing/story?id=108236720VOX: https://www.vox.com/culture/24087565/princess-kate-middleton-disappearance-rumors-explained-abdominal-surgery-kensington-palaceReuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/british-royals-shrug-off-speculation-about-kate-king-charles-2024-03-19/Sky News: https://news.sky.com/story/royals-latest-doubt-over-second-kate-photo-william-appearing-later-today-13097903Be sure to follow us on social media.

What a Creep“Coyote V. Acme Controversy”Season 24, Episode 4In February 1980, The New Yorker magazine published a satire called "Coyote V. Acme" written by Ian Frazier. The story was about Wile E. Coyote suing Acme, the company that supplied him with the equipment he used to try and catch the Road Runner, for all his injuries over the years. In 1987, the success of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" led to the combination of animation and live actors in this story. However, it wasn't until the 2020s that Warner Brothers hired writer Samy Burch and director Dave Green to bring the project to life. The film was completed in 2022, but now the parent company refuses to release it and instead writes it off for tax purposes. Despite considering other outlets, the $75 million price tag makes it unlikely that Warner Brothers will negotiate another deal. The film's controversy-causing release has caused a media storm. For once, we have no trigger warnings!Sources for this episodeIndie Wire: https://www.indiewire.com/news/analysis/coyote-vs-acme-write-off-anticompetitive-1234953523/The Ringer: https://www.theringer.com/movies/2024/2/12/24070471/coyote-vs-acme-movie-canceled-new-yorker-article-news-warner-wbd-zaslavDeadline: https://deadline.com/2023/11/coyote-vs-acme-shelved-warner-bros-discovery-writeoff-david-zaslav-1235598676/The Wrap: thewrap.com/coyote-vs-acme-update-offers-warner-bros/Lainey Gossip: https://www.laineygossip.com/warner-bros-discovery-controversial-business-practices-unveiled-as-coyote-vs-acme-faces-deletion/77662The Hollywood Reporter: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/patton-oswalt-david-zaslav-coyote-vs-acme-1235842255/Screen Rant: https://screenrant.com/coyote-vs-acme-movie-canceled-warner-bros-david-zaslav/AV Club: https://www.avclub.com/coyote-vs-acme-probably-getting-scrapped-wbd-zaslav-1851243078The Verge: https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/9/24067496/coyote-vs-acme-amazon-netflix-paramount-rejected-offers-theatricalList of Abandoned & Unfinished Movies (Wikipedia)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abandoned_and_unfinished_filmsBe sure to follow us on social media.
