We haven't even released the files or prosecuted the guilty, and people are already turning it into something to milk for profit.

So now people want to make money off the backs of child rape victims? Boycott.

Especially when zero perpetrators have been brought to justice. The ONLY person to be tried in this whole fiasco is Gislane Maxwell.

Idk this feels... uncaring toward the victims who still don't have the justice they deserve. Maybe if we knew they were ok with this and that it might help get their truth out there.

I want the orange shitgibbon to suffer in jail but the victims have been through enough already. I'm torn.

It's based on a book.

Did you even read the synopsis? It's about the reporter that identified 80 victims and gathered evidence leading to the arrests of Epstein and Maxwell.

But will it end with a suicide or an execution?

Hopefully with a clogged artery this year if we're lucky! Oh, you mean the show.

Adam McKay is behind Don't Look Up and The Big Short.

He formally petitioned Biden for a ceasefire in Gaza and refuses to work with Israeli filmmakers.

He's also a member of DSA.

Dude seems woke AF. Plus he worked with Will Ferrell on a bunch of stuff. Hates Trump. Left the Democrat party....

This should be pretty great... probably with just enough comic relief.

They’re probably only pitching it so the epstein crowd will pay them not to do it

It's a one man operation.

Mystery solved, there is no mystery!
