Episode 21 - Bombshell

Published: Sept. 24, 2020, 11 a.m.

Powerful men, prosthetics, and dangling queer content? That's a Fox story. Join Tara and Jacob as they riff on 2019's fizzy Bombshell, the story of Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman), Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron), and Kayla somebody (Margot Robbie as a composite), joined by a cast of 200\u2014for real\u2014for the wild tale of the sexual assault allegations that brought down Fox News honcho/doughnut aficionado Roger Ailes (John Lithgow in a fatsuit). Directed by known king of political and sexual nuance, Jay Roach. Groovy baby!
