Should We Still Watch The Cosby Show?

PixeIhouse
A protest of Bill Cosby in Kitchener, Ontario

When a well-known and influential writer, actor, or filmmaker gets accused of inappropriate or even illegal behavior, what happens to their body of work? Has the art that was created lost its value? How should people who loved and were influenced by that art respond?

On this episode of Unsettled: Mapping #MeToo, Charity Nebbe hosts a conversation about the high profile people, most of them men, who have recently been accused of sexual impropriety. What comes next for these disgraced entertainers, writers, and politicians, and what happens to their body of work?
