Mara Wilson

Don't need to watch a blow-by-blow of the whole thing.

understand and that's all i need to hear and know about it and i often think about this with just the amount of true crime kind of horror show stuff that's served up it is kind of good sometimes to know your limits of like what you should watch yeah and consume and have some sense of like boundaries and that um

And yeah, I don't have kids.

I think I can completely understand how that would make things even more unpalatable because it's like the worst thing you can think about is someone being a shithead in any capacity or children or any kids.

Probably a perfect show, or as close to perfect as you can get.

Performances, the way it was shot, yeah.

And if you haven't seen Adolescence, it's going to devastate you, but please watch it.

No, and I think that's why Mara's story is good, because she...

She had like a pretty positive time on the sets.

It was more just the fact of what being a child star like did to her psyche and how other people were because of that.

So she's got a much more like nuanced view.

I think the craziest thing about the Nickelodeon situation is that we got so much feedback, which I'll read later to last week's episode, because everyone has, they grew up with these iconic, amazing shows.

It's just so bizarre that the guy behind so many of those shows was a sleazebag.

Now I can see why Nickelodeon wanted to sever ties.

And we also, we touched on this a little bit in the slime episode, which is going back a while now, but...

There's a shit ton of this online.

He's been written about at length.

But he was obviously awful to certain actors and inappropriate to people allegedly underage as well as adults.

But then you just look at it, you widen it out, and it's really weird thinking about stuff like

slime you know like just the just these kids getting like slimed all the time if you start to look at it through like another lens it gets creepier and creepier and weirder and you can one aspect can be like oh kids are getting like gunned or slimed it's hilarious but then suddenly when you look at the person that's like doing this and inventing it and you look at those games it does take on like a super weird dynamic
