TimcastIRL #41 - MeToo Movement Exposed As Political Sham, Rose McGowan SHREDS Alyssa Milano
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 41 aired on April 7, 2020, with Tim Pool joined by co-hosts Adam Krigler and Lydia for a wide-ranging discussion on current events. The primary focus was the escalating controversy within the MeToo movement, where co-founders Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan found themselves at odds. Tim and his co-hosts examined how Alyssa Milano, who had previously championed zero tolerance for sexual assault allegations during the Kavanaugh hearings, flip-flopped to advocate for due process when it came to allegations against Joe Biden. Rose McGowan responded by calling Milano a "corrupt DNC fraud" on Twitter. The panel also discussed the hypocrisy of MeToo leader Asia Argento, who was accused of abusing an underage boy and paid a settlement. The conversation shifted to YouTube's ongoing purge of conservative content creators, specifically mentioning Luke Rutkowski of We Are Change and Ariel Scarcella being removed from the partner program. Tim addressed COVID-19 and its connection to obesity, arguing that body positivity messaging was undermined by the pandemic's disproportionate impact on overweight individuals. The hosts also touched on reports of rat infestations in urban areas as food sources became scarce during lockdowns. The show maintained its characteristic critical perspective on mainstream media narratives and Big Tech censorship.
