Summary

Maureen Callahan goes off on Jason Bateman's Esquire interview that fully displays his true colors as a complete douchebag (his words). She points to how he arrogantly refuses to answer a simple question, unapologetically states that he doesn't talk to or see his sister Justine very often, and struggles to explain the difference between love and sex. Then Maureen exposes past incidents where Jason bullies a former child actor, throws his friend under the bus to a police officer, and inappropriately gushes over Jen Aniston. Maureen also takes apart Timothée Chalamet's latest public display of stupidity and shares the details on why Steven Spielberg refuses to work with Ben Affleck. Later in the show, Maureen is joined by celebrity makeup artist Tim McKay for a hate-watch session of "The Beast In Me," including a full breakdown of Claire Danes' over used cry face.
