The KKK Artist Who Sculpted Mount Rushmore
Gutzon Borglum was more than just a bad Scrabble hand. He was an artist, a fame f*cker, and a petty little b*tch.

Join Hoots and Caelan for a very special episode of Respect the Dead just in time for Independence Day/Canada Day/Indigenous Day of Mourning. F*ck Gutzon Borglum, f*ck the Supreme Court, Land Back.

OJ Simpson (Part 2)
It was called "The Trial of the Century", but far more interesting than the trial itself is the enduring legacy of OJ Simpson; the way his story serves as a condemnation of some of the most sickening and shameful parts of modern American culture; the enduring legacies of racism and misogyny; a culture in which celebrities are both idols to be worshiped and commodities to be consumed and discarded; the shallowness of our legal system, and the immorality of our media industry.
In many ways OJ's life was Shakespearean. As the tragicomic hero of his own story, he was condemned to be both victim and villain.
Join us for the culmination of this very special two-parter on The Juice: O.J. Simpson, hero, villain, wife-beater.

OJ Simpson (Part 1)
Andrea Dworkin once wrote "“You won’t ever know the worst that happened to Nicole Brown Simpson in her marriage, because she is dead and cannot tell you. And if she were alive, remember, you wouldn’t believe her.”
But now O.J. is dead too, and can no longer speak over her.

Churchill's Famine
Winston Churchill is one of the most beloved and revered politicians of the modern age. He also has the blood of somewhere between three and six million Bengalis, then British citizens, on his hands.
In this episode we delve into the history of the Bengal Famine of 1943, and how the policies of denial that the British War Cabinet, headed by Churchill, enacted upon the region resulted in millions of civilian deaths.

Elliot Rodger: Patron Saint of Incels
On May 23, 2014 "Supreme Gentleman" Elliot Rodger murdered 6 people before killing himself. Before the spree killing, Rodger had been an active member of a deeply misogynistic online community of "incels" (involuntary celibates). After the murders, he would be hailed a hero by many of the more violent and bloodthirsty incels, inspiring a number of other attacks.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the 141 page memoir/manifesto that Elliot Rodger left behind and discover that he was something far worse than the Patron Saint of Incels... he was cringe.

Dr. Seuss: Cheater. Racist. Annoying.
A post-mortem canceling of the beloved children's author.
