Tim reacts to Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction being overturned by an all-female panel of judges, declaring the #MeToo movement a failure given Weinstein and Cosby's fates, and imagines him triumphantly returning to the Soho House.
- Tim declares the #MeToo movement a complete failure with Harvey Weinstein's conviction overturned and Bill Cosby out of jail.
- The movement's problem wasn't the goal but the scale: Weinstein and Cosby on one end, a guy making an off-color remark to his secretary on the other.
- Movie fans should be cautiously excited about Weinstein's return, maybe hoping his next film is about someone falsely accused of rape.
- Tim invokes the principle of living in a country of laws to defend due process for Weinstein despite calling him an ogre and tyrant.
- The Soho House in LA collects the worst of humanity: dilettantes, rich kids pretending to be in the arts, agents and brand deal people with zero talent.
- When Weinstein walks back into Hollywood institutions like the Soho House, don't be surprised if he's greeted warmly by the frauds Tim just described.
- Tim's test for whether the country is truly back: women throwing their underwear at Harvey Weinstein in public.
- People don't realize how quickly the tennis ball comes back over the net in this country.
- Tim pivots to ask why the conviction was actually overturned.
