Summary

While Abby is off touring the country to screen her new film 'Gaza Fights for Freedom' Robbie holds down the fort and brings on special guest Leslie Lee III from the Struggle Session podcast to have a wide ranging discussion on Disney's 'woke points', the sagging Marvel Cinematic Universe and their betrayal of Star Wars creator George Lucas (who called Disney 'white slavers'). The last third of the discussion turns to the idea of public domain fiction that can't be 'bought' by a corporation and why Leslie thinks horror writer H.P. Lovecraft still has so much staying power today. Leslie also addresses Lovecraft's 'virulent' racist views but explains how those are not necessarily central to his actual horror writings.

0:43.7	We might have another episode coming after this one.
0:46.5	We're really trying to get it out before October.
0:48.9	I'm not sure if that's going to happen.
0:51.1	But we're trying to put together an episode about the situation in Hong Kong. While maybe
0:56.0	it's not as pressing, it's still an ongoing situation and we would still very much like to
1:00.0	cover that. But just wanted to put that out there. But today on the podcast, we're going to do
1:07.6	something a little bit different than what we normally do. We've had Leslie Lee on the podcast before to talk about the current state of Disney and
