Monster Madness is back, the website's back, we're very excited and hope you enjoy it this whole month but there's a bit of a rocky start. The first episode had a problem with the script. One of our writers had somehow added a portion that was taken from a pre-existing article. That's unacceptable and all of us here apologize for letting that sneak in. We're very sorry and want to tell you how that happened.

I believe woke ideology is pernicious. I believe what’s at stake is not just ‘My policies are good,’ we should not all be suffering under the cloak of wokeness. … This issue with Disney is a good example of that. … They were basically a law unto themselves, and they got away with it for a long time because they were so powerful.
