Should Woody Allen Be Allowed to Start a Tequila Company

Tim escalates into a long absurdist riff conflating the Woody Allen and Kendall Jenner controversies, joking about hindsight, cancel culture logic, and imagining Allen defending himself or marrying Jenner.
- Tim poses the opening question: if you're a brilliant artist like Woody Allen, should you be allowed to start a tequila company?
- The punchline: "You can't rape the kids, Woody. Don't do it."
- Tim explains how Woody's films now look different in hindsight—all those movies with him pursuing high school girls will seem wrong retroactively.
- Everything is revision now: Tim says hindsight is 20/20, and learning about Kendall Jenner's tequila made him realize the ice camps were wrong.
- Woody Allen denies everything and still has a better relationship with Dylan than Tim has with his own aunt.
- Timothée Chalamet backed out of Woody's premiere, and Tim has offered him a public relations course involving a fish tank.
- Tim's lawyer told him to stop saying things about keeping Chalamet in sensory deprivation—same lawyer who warned him about the Airbnb.
- Call Me by Your Name was "freaky" because Chalamet was 17, but it didn't matter because it was gay and it was in Italy.
- Tim on Armie Hammer's cannibalism fantasies: when you fuck as much as Armie Hammer, you have to imagine eating a kidney to get off.
- Tim auditioned for a film with Ben, nailed it in five takes over four days, but they gave the role to someone "fatter and older and a better actor."
- The director who cast someone else over Tim for that major role: Woody Allen.
