Say Something Nice Podcast - Film, TV, and Music News & Discussion
Cook County has dropped its 16 felony charges against actor, singer, and gay Tupac Jussie Smollett, and now all of his troubles are over! If only it were that easy. The SSN Crew discusses the fallout from the scandal outgoing Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel called a "whitewashing of justice", the likelihood of his actual guilt or innocence, and what this means for not Jussie's career, but his family's reputation in the industry. We also discuss the passing of Nipsey Hustle, Tim Burton's live-action remake of "Dumbo", and lots more spoiler-heavy discussion of Jordan Peele's "Us," because it's awesome enough for it!
