Content Warning: strong derogatory language & discussions of sexual assault This week we look at the controversial and appalling behaviour of one of Hollywood's 'top' directors and how two decades of abusive allegations on film sets have led to actors in his latest film coming under scrutiny. Pop culture moments of the week include Emma Darcy's drink of choice, soup on Van Gogh and lightly touching on Kanye West's dangerous behaviour.
