TLDR: IndyCar makes, approves, uploads, and begins selling epic facepalm "One Nation, One Race" t-shirt for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix. Everyone realizes the tone deaf double meaning. Product quietly and quickly yanked down.

I will be blunt- I have started skipping the SCUM sections, when I even listen to the podcast at all. I just do not think, on any level, it is a good or healthy way to view movies, judging complicated human art by, in essence, trying to find what you can, in essence, cancel it for, a little set of numbers to determine how much the film you're talking about has a right to exist or to be well regarded in any meaningful capacity.
It's not "critique" to say "this film is smarmy", it's just a crude, cruel takedown, one that's entirely incapable of dealing with depiction not equalling endorsement and one that turns the act of actually reviewing a piece of media into "how many things can I find wrong with this? What can I cynically wield to dismiss this entire movie as bigoted garbage?" If you looked up the definition of bad faith, you'd find the SCUM system in there, and if you think that it's somehow fair to think of art, actual art, in terms of "how high does this rank on the unprovoked violence scale, a thing you probably bought the fucking ticket for", let me ask you:
How do you think your favorite movie would rank on the SCUM scale? And if it's extremely low, is it a movie for adults?
Fast and furious tv show in the works
Since there’s no new Jame Bond movies coming anytime soon, have the podcast hosts mentioned the new video game that’s coming out? It’s probably the next best thing (new Bond actor, Lana Del Rey theme song) to a new Bond movie we’ll get for the rest of the 2020s. Plus it’d be interesting to get their take on a Gen Z Bond.
Would be cool if they did a livestream playing it or an episode on it!
While I of course believe our beloved hosts 100% I was just curious what the context of this was? Googling around I couldn't find anything on this guy being transphobic and the terrible Google AI (which is often wrong and useless) actually actively pushed back on me pretty aggressivlely telling me he was some kind of ally.
Is there a chance they are mixing him up with another actor? Is there some kind of recent post or interview he's done? Thanks in advance y'all! :)
We started a pod in the same style as KJB, with (since Oct last year) 3 hosts , going for the same mix of serious (trans friendly)analysis and silly sh*t
It's called the FAB Podcast. You can find our Patreon here. We're also on Spotify (link)
If you like the sound of it, we just did one of our monthly bonus episodes about the 1960 classic Spartacus... It's about as long as the film itself!
Fans of Gareth Dennis can hear us talk about Captain Scarlet with him for free, we just did the episode 'Model Spy' with him too!
Hope this is something you might enjoy here, fellow KJB fans 😄
