Tim reads a funny tweet from Louis CK about Weinstein and the green room, then digresses into telling his producer Ben that his poorly-behaved dogs are a bad omen for future parenting.
- Hollywood producers blow smoke and promise reporters their stories will become worldwide phenomena and make them famous.
- Tim argues the only way to get Americans to care about anything now is through movies or Netflix series, not congressional investigations.
- Conspiracy theorists imagine documentaries escalating into features that wake people up, the way JFK's movie opened doors to legitimate inquiry decades later.
- Usually the truth about major events emerges 50 years later when everybody involved is dead.
- Tim expects a Jeffrey Epstein movie will come out soon, but predicts it won't actually portray real politicians or hint at their involvement.
- An accurate Epstein movie would require showing world leaders visiting the island, which studios will avoid by just showing rich guys in suits instead.
