Two years after Hollywood ousted the evil toad king Harvey Weinstein and we all learned that non-consensual bedroom mischief is bad, we live in a world without problems, everyone is treated equally and being a woman is basically the same as being a man. Except BETTER!

Our white knights Meryl Streep, James Franco and Oprah Winfrey have saved us from the pernicious tentacles of gender inequality and we can now enjoy our films guilt free! Actresses have worn black, actors have worn badges and women are even allowed to bust ghosts and plot heists now! We are all happy.

Or are we? In this episode of Spectacles we discuss the #MeToo movement and its fallout, reflecting on properties which have responded to the media storm and speculate about a potential impending backlash.

Featuring special guest star Quentin Tarantino.

CW: We discuss real life examples of sexual harassment and assault in a certain level of detail in this episode so if that's going to be difficult you might want to sit this one out.
