WTW41: Gina Carano Sues Disney

Using Elon Musk's money, Gina Carano (AKA Cara Dune in seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian series) is suing Disney & Lucasfilm over her "firing" in February 2021. We had Matt Cameron, current co-host of Opening Arguments, join to help us break this thing down. How does Carano allege she was harmed, and what exactly are her claims for relief here? Is this suit just a nothingburger or is there actually some meat on this thing?  Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
