This week the boys are tasked by a Coycast Hotline caller to dive into a sometimes uncomfortable, often difficult topic to discuss, and that is whether we should, do, or are even capable of separating the Art from the Artist. Nothing and no-one is off limits and for people who love storytelling so passionately, us pop-culture nerds all have different ways of dealing with the issue. It's not all humdrum awful people's awful actions though! We're also doing some more hypothetical super-fights and the usual Comic and streaming recs for the week!
