Content Warning: ableism, discussions of restraint This week, we look at the train wreck that was Sia's insenstive attempt at portraying non-verbal autism without any autistic people in it. We look at the controversy around the film before it was released, Sia's defensive reactions to valid criticism. Pop culture moments of the week include a Trisha Paytas update, John Mulaney and Olivia Munn pregnancy and the disasterous new Cinderella film.
