Toxic Fandom, Tarantino's Mother Issues, and We Play 'Good Deal/Bad Deal'

Make sure you listen to the whole episode for a new segment that we’re debuting at the end.

In this episode, we talk about...

• How toxic fandom has become incredibly common on the internet.
• Director Alan Taylor losing the will to direct due to the toxic fandom he has to deal with.
• Why it's good that more big name people call out online harassment and cyber-bullying.
• The ways that what people say online can be taken very personally and affect creators’ mental health.
• How Quentin Tarantino is still carrying anger towards his mother about a comment she made early in his career.
• Whether or not Tarantino’s viral comments should be surprising.
• The role of cults of personality in the film industry.
• Advances in 3D modeling, including phone apps you can use to scan 3D objects using LiDAR sensors.
• Introducing a new segment designed just for the gig economy - Good Deal, Bad Deal.
• Ideas for how to make a bad deal better (it’s not what you think) and examples of times you might want to take a bad deal.
