Cancel Culture Comes For the Golden Globes (Finally!)

IndieWire's Millions of Screens

On this week's episode, Ben, Libby, and Leo talk about the state of comedy, what with the debut of HBO Max's "Hacks," the return of Apple TV+'s "Mythic Quest," and the upcoming finale of FX on Hulu's "Breeders." Do any of these shows have a chance to topple Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso?" And just what is it about second seasons that makes that the sweet spot for most comedies? Additionally, Ben and Libby regale one another with the news that NBC has cancelled the 2022 Golden Globes in the wake of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's bungling of just about everything since the incendiary L.A. Times' expose in February. And finally, the group discusses the fictitious "cancel culture" that social media lumped unto Donald Glover after a series of tweets from the accomplished multi-hyphenate referenced studios reluctance to take chances.
