The Self Slaying of Joss Whedon with Jackie Zebrowski

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?
