Summary

The crew travels West, picking Hollywood as their destination this week. Unfortunately, the topic is not “holiday” hit movies but the publicity of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandals. Questions are on the table and the discussion is on: Consent among two adults, how is that determined in Hollywood’s environment? Is it fair to say that Weinstein is merely acting upon his industry’s philosophy? How can these sex scandals be so prominent amidst a culture that claims to defend and empower women? What is the solution for these abuses? Will more laws and codes be able to curb the depravity of the human heart? The crew offers some alternatives that Hollywood might not find ideal. Let’s hear what they have to say!We hope you find value in Mortification of Spin. Your gifts enable us to be a strong, independent voice in the contemporary church.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, the casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.
0:25.5	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:30.6	Let's join this week's conversation.
0:32.8	Thank you. Welcome to Mortocation of Spin, bully pulpit.
0:46.8	Today I'm joined, as always, by my two co-hosts, Amy Bird, the housewife theologian, and Todd Pruitt.
0:54.0	The mega-church pastor.
0:55.0	Mega-church pastor, PCA's answer to Joel Osteen and Mark Driscoll rolled into one.
1:01.4	I'm happy but angry about it.
1:03.3	Or angry but happy about it.
1:04.8	Anyway, something like that.

1:09.0	Very fetching. We want to talk today about a topic that's hit the news recently and we'll probably rumble on for some time to come and that's the explosion into the public sphere of the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal and the concomitant scandals that have emerged as a result of that. On one level,
1:28.8	we might say that it's simply making public what a lot of people have known about for a long
1:33.6	time. Stories of the casting couch in 1930s Hollywood, common currency, I think. Everybody knows
1:40.8	that there is a sleazy underbelly to the movie industry.

1:56.0	Is Harvey Weinstein guilty only of taking seriously the philosophy of sex, which most of his victims and
