Observe and Report Controversy


In Episode 10, out this Friday, we discuss Observe and Report. Without spoiling our discussion, Ethan makes a point to say that it was uncomfortable laughing at some scenes. One scene in particular is causing a minor brouhaha. Minor only because attendance to the film has been pretty weak. Had this been Paul Blart-ish in box office success, the issue would be more prevalent across the media.

One scene in particular had both our hosts wincing:
SPOILER:
In the scene, Seth Rogen's character has post-date, post-heavy-drinking sex with Anna Faris's character who appears to be unconscious.

Many writers and critics are calling the scene flat out date rape. Many, however, are not.

READ THIS ARTICLE at moviecitynews.com for a rundown of both sides of opinion.

Then be sure to listen to our take in Episode 10 out this Friday.
