from Harvey Weinstein's Overturned Conviction & TikTok Ban | The Tim Dillon Show #390 · #390

Tim performs an extended improvised scene of a talent agent nervously pitching an actress a role in a new Weinstein Brothers film, softening the news that Harvey is attached to the project.
- Harvey Weinstein gets out of jail and reads about polyamory relationships instead of anything else.
- Tim announces Weinstein is coming back and everyone will be better for it despite his convictions being overturned on technicalities.
- If Weinstein's California conviction gets overturned, he'll be out making movies because that's what he does—painters paint, he makes films.
- Everyone at the Soho House has no soul except people who might give Tim money, and they'll absolutely warm to Weinstein when he returns.
- An agent pitches a Weinstein brothers film to an actress with full disclosure about who's producing it.
- Tim's agent claimed to not be a liar, which Tim points out is literally contradicting the agent's job description.
- The agent sells the actress on the role by emphasizing it's a lead part but not the lead, so she won't take the heat for working with Weinstein.
- Agent describes the character Morgan as someone who loves nature and rivers, noting the actress did improv comedy—or at least signed up for a class she never attended.
- Agent claims to not be trying to influence the actress while actively attempting to persuade her, positioning himself as merely a guide while she's the captain.
- The agent minimizes the expected backlash to a couple of blogs and tweets, arguing the movie is worth considering and features the actress as Morgan in a polyamory story set in post-war Gaza.
