The Self Slaying of Joss Whedon with Jackie Zebrowski
About this episode
The episode discusses the complex legacy of Joss Whedon, exploring both his contributions to pop culture and the controversies surrounding his behavior.
Joss Whedon was a nerd God with quirky quips, inspiring world building, and positive portrayals of female characters. But unfortunately that’s just half the story: An icon on the streets, a Dr. Horrible in the sheets. Recurring issues of abuse and control on set and off popped up and it all culminated with a downfall that in hindsight feels expected and karmic. Buffy fan and Page 7 cohost Jackie Zebrowski joins us to go through all of it and analyze a creator who will be outlived by both his creations and actions. Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
