The one that says this is not the way superheroes 00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:48.400 are supposed to be betrayed. 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.900 Also referring to a Superman sun coming out as bisexual 00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:53.300 in a recent comic. 00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:59.900 I would say you've had your time if if you're happier and more 00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:02.600 comfortable looking in the rearview mirror, that is where we will 00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:03.400 leave you bro. 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.400 But yeah, I mean 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:10.200 Other movie that feels like hasn't really touched on what we are 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:13.400 and we will just continue growing without you. 00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:18.700 I obviously love her take and I cannot wait to watch the rest of 00:02:18.700 --> 00:02:19.700 your interview with her. 00:02:19.700 --> 00:02:20.900 It looks like you had so much fun. 00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:24.100 I saw you posting your selfies with case to no big deal Clayton, 00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:27.800 but I can't wait to watch on to a similar topic. 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.200 Ruby Rose who played Catwoman in the first major TV series 00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:34.400 to focus on a lesbian superhero. 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.200 Came out this past week swinging against Warner Brothers 00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:43.200 with allegations from the set of the CW Series Ruby Rose, 00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:47.400 says that there was a toxic work environment and she came forth 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.700 with a lot of allegations of misconduct filing against the studio, 00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:53.500 The Producers co-stars. 00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:57.500 Well in response to this Warner Brothers came back with their 00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:01.300 own statement, calling this revisionist history and saying 00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:05.500 there were actually allegations against Ruby Rose on the set. 00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.200 This is a mess to say the least. 00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:12.100 And anytime that you have a studio going after Talent, 00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:15.500 past or present, when they're not holding any I'm back at really 00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:16.800 raises a lot of questions. 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.700 We actually saw something similar with Scarlett Johansson 00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:23.300 in Disney, of course that since been resolved but it's a Time. 00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:26.400 Disney came out with a scathing statement of their own which 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.000 was very off-brand for a studio. 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.600 So that is kind of what this remind in the oven Ruby Rose actually 00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:35.200 when they came forward and said that Scarlett Johansson 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:38.600 was an inspiration for Ruby speaking up. 00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:40.400 So let's look at this beer now. 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.500 The second person to speak out against Warner Brothers cuz Ray 00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:46.500 Fisher. Who film Justice League, it was played. 00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:50.100 Cyborg spoke out about similar allegations, about toxic work 00:03:50.100 --> 00:03:52.500 environment and being abused on set. 00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:56.800 And Warner Brothers, came out being in League against some denying, 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.200 the claims. At what point, does it become a pattern? 00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:03.400 At what point do the under-represented voices? 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.000 Get to have a voice and get their allegations actually heard 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.900 before. It's revisionist history. 00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:14.000 This whole week has culminated to this attack on the lgbtq community. 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.000 00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:18.000 We're seeing a lot and we need to start coming together 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.400 because it's lgbtq news this week next week. 00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:23.700 It's women's rights again. 00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:25.000 And then it's Poppy knows it. 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.700 It it, it never is a never-ending cycle and we need to come 00:04:28.700 --> 00:04:31.300 together to make sure everyone feel supported and we unite. 00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:39.000 So we can actually inflict real change on the industry Court, 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.700 lgbtq youth. But as far as the story with Ruby Rose as there's 00:04:42.700 --> 00:04:45.100 obviously going to be a lot more details. 00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:46.900 Any time, something comes out like this. 00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:48.200 There's usually more to the story. 00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:52.300 So course we will keep you all updated with those developments 00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:55.600 from moving on to another mess in Hollywood. 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.600 The Dave, Chappelle Saga is not dying down and the heat is still 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.200 on Netflix. The boss of Netflix, Ted sarandos in a new interview 00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:07.500 with variety admitted that he screwed up with his internal 00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.100 Communications with his staff at Netflix regarding, 00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:14.400 Dave, Chappelle stand-up special, but more talking about, 00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:18.900 Lgbtq community. And how their voices are not be encouraged 00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:22.800 to me in this interview with tents around us was just completely 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.000 tone-deaf. So, this week, there was a walk out in protest 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.800 of Netflix and the special. 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.000 And yet in this interview, with variety, 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.700 tents around us says that there are no plans to pull the special 00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:38.100 because he doesn't think that there have been many calls to yank 00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:39.200 it from the streaming service. 00:05:39.200 --> 00:05:41.300 I don't know what he's been looking at, 00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:44.700 but with my two eyes, I have been reading a lot on social 00:05:44.700 --> 00:05:49.100 media, including a statement from glad that urge Netflix 00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:52.200 to take the special down because of the harmful things that 00:05:52.200 --> 00:05:54.200 were said about the trans community. 00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:57.800 So this just seems to be a never-ending mess. 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.600 But again, you were just talking about how Studios kind of want to 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.100 create their own narrative to make things right back to me, 00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:06.000 seems like what Netflix is doing here. 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.100 We only know this because the memo got leaked, 00:06:10.100 --> 00:06:11.000 we wouldn't have known. 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.200 Otherwise if that Ted felt this way. 00:06:14.700 --> 00:06:17.500 Unless someone had brought it to the press to, 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:21.900 you are the number one streamer of the moment. 00:06:21.900 --> 00:06:27.300 We're content comes out of a minute bases on the platform. 00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:31.900 His memo says, content does not have real-world consequences. 00:06:31.900 --> 00:06:35.500 There is a documentary currently on Netflix right now. 00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:36.800 There was released by Netflix. 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.000 Last year that says that there is a correlation between the content 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.600 and what people do with it. 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:45.900 I don't know if you're watching your content, 00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:48.700 but it's their the proof is on your platform. 00:06:48.700 --> 00:06:53.700 So at some point, we need to find where the responsibility 00:06:53.700 --> 00:06:56.100 lies. But it's not even about Dave Chappelle anymore. 00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:59.700 When you have that much money on a platform you the number 00:06:59.700 --> 00:07:03.300 one streamer. I don't think the accountability Factor even matters 00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:03.900 that much anymore. 00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:06.600 I think people are just kind of looking the other way cuz they 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.300 don't want to damage future relationships, you know, 00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.000 if they have a film that's going to come out. 00:07:14.700 --> 00:07:17.500 All is that when are calling Matt Donnelly? 00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:18.600 Ask Ted sarandos. 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.900 If he has spoken to Dave Chappelle about this. 00:07:20.900 --> 00:07:25.000 He essentially said, no, he pivoted and gave a response 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.100 that said that Dave is traveling and doing shows. 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:30.900 How is everyone in the world is talking about this? 00:07:30.900 --> 00:07:33.500 How are you as the head of Netflix, 00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:37.100 not talking to the star that shows that you clearly actually. 00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:38.300 Don't think this is a huge problem. 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.700 Even if you said you screwed up, 00:07:39.700 --> 00:07:43.200 and by the way, now, Dave Chappelle's rap is saying that he is 00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:46.000 open to talking to trans employees at Netflix. 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.000 Well, let's see. 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.500 That happen. Then stop talking and do it there and has his call, 00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:52.100 but we'll see. 00:07:52.100 --> 00:07:55.800 Who is the one last wrinkle on Hollywood? 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.800 The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.100 Have announced that the Golden Globes are going to occur this 00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:04.600 year with or without a telecast on January 9th. 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.800 The same day as a Critics Choice Awards, 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.400 typically are the Golden Globes. 00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:12.600 This they canceled the Golden Globes amid the controversy 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.500 that they had zero black men. 00:08:14.700 --> 00:08:18.100 Since then they've committed to this reform. 00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:23.100 The hfpa they've added 21 members, six of them are black and 00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:25.400 no previous members have been removed. 00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:26.800 So they're up to 105. 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.200 I was speaking to a word publicist. 00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:32.800 This week that said, if we bring our talents of them, 00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:34.000 we bring our clients of them. 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.300 We're seeing that the, the answer to all your problems with 00:08:37.300 --> 00:08:38.200 six black people. 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.600 That's not cool. 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.500 We need more change. 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:43.400 It's too soon. 00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:45.700 And they need to take their time and I think they're jumping 00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:46.100 the gun here. 00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:51.200 I don't even know what what is it? 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:51.900 Who's there? Who's watching? 00:08:51.900 --> 00:08:53.100 Anyone else to get? 00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:54.800 It was going to be there and I don't think they can even bring 00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:56.200 it to another broadcast partner. 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.800 I think honestly, they're just going to be in a room at the Beverly 00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:02.500 Hilton, giving out Awards to people that aren't there. 00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:05.300 I think they're saying it's because they're hoping that a broadcast 00:09:05.300 --> 00:09:08.200 partner, now sees this news, which isn't much news at all. 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.900 And then they'll attach themselves and are the Golden Globes. 00:09:10.900 --> 00:09:13.500 But like you said, there's clearly so much work that still 00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:14.100 needs to be done. 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:17.300 I do. Take a lot of different companies in Hollywood are going 00:09:17.300 --> 00:09:19.400 to be jumping to are the Golden Globes. This 00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:21.800 year has problems still needs to be fixed. 00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:25.000 But clearly there's always a lot to talk about knowledge. 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.200 Isn't there a very messy? 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.600 We will be back next week as always with a brand new episode 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:30.900 of the take on Friday.
