Throwing Shade

337: Incels, LGBTQ Superheroes, Guest Ally Hord

This week, Erin discusses the community of “incels” behind the Toronto van attacker and the larger trend of male supremacy they represent. Then, Bryan questions why Marvel hasn’t managed to show off any of its LGBTQ heroes in its films, and writer Ally Hord joins to talk about her work on Late Night With Seth Meyers, choice benefits from SAG, and getting political.
