You have to wonder if every once in a while James Woods catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror and says,

Wait a minute, am I a baddie?

His career of playing sleazy hateful weasles could be the product of him being such a good actor that he breathes life into all these reprehensible characters despite being one of the nicest guys in show business.

If you read old interviews with him, he seems like at one point he was a fairly self-reflective guy.

Maybe playing sleazy hateful weasles will, over time, affect your equilibrium.

Although that's the old violent video games play a role in the dramatic increase of

mass shootings over the last 10 years argument, which the gaming community has assured us is

impossible and also discriminatory to even think out loud.

So there must be some other explanation for why James Woods climbed up on top of his Twitter refrigerator a while back and started throwing poop clods at all the orderlies come to help him down.

Was it perhaps a prodigious and unquenchable cocaine habit that ate away at his soul until all that remained

was a snot monster like from the Musinex commercials except way more

unlikable? Well that speculation is just satirical commentary on my part and

certainly does not meet the legal standard for libel but nonetheless it's probably 100% true.

Whatever the cause, it's fairly certain that James Woods won't be playing the lead in any Oliver

Stone pictures in the foreseeable future.

Now, Ben Harrison, my co-host, is a young person, and one of his roles on the show is to offer the Millennium

perspective, which is very informative and much appreciated, and often takes the form of Ben chastising Clint Eastwood films

from the 60s in a voice dripping with incredulity for the crime of Eastwood being a squinty old crank

50 years later. My job on the show is to guide Ben and

Adam when he's listening to an understanding that you can judge those old performances

on their own merits separate from your feelings about the

personal lives of the artist.
