In The Mailbag: Mark S from Phoenix writes in “after all the allegations against many heavyweights in Hollywood, is it acceptable to separate a person from their art. Can I still laugh at Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris", can I still be in awe at Roman Polanski's "The Pianist", can I still be mesmerized by Brett Ratner's "Red Dragon"? And not solely the filmmakers; "Manchester by the Sea" was one of my favorite films last year, but the more I heard about Casey Affleck and his allegations, the more I felt guilty for praising a man who has committed such atrocities. We all make mistakes, but for those whose actions are unforgivable, do you think we should still celebrate their cinematic achievements? Love the podcast, keep it up guys!”
