In the new movie Mystery Inc is going to combat Jonathan Crain/Scarecrow with the help of Bill Nye and Elvira but Batman is apparently not going to make an appearance.

That's just wild.

He said that Jewish people in Europe just need to get to know their neighbors and then they won’t kill us/would have prevented them from killing us.

He disagrees with Jewish people moving to Israel for their safety.

He also said that “the people have never been there” about Jewish people moving to Israel.

Interestingly the only people who have the clips of this from the Bill Maher show are right wingers who are using this to discredit all of Bill Nye’s work which a. even though I think him an antisemite doesn’t mean he is wrong that vaccines are good and climate change is real and b. is gross because they are just using Jews.

Which sadly doesn’t surprise me, but what also doesn’t surprise me is not a single leftists person, group, or outlet criticized Bill Nye and called out his antisemitism. 

Rather they have stayed totally silent on the whole thing.

So we get to different types of antisemitism for the price of one.

Rose and Steele are joined for a third and final time by our guest co-host Melissa Trender - and today is our fourth Catch Up Geek Out!

We chat first about Bill Nye Saves the World and how our British childhoods were tragically Nye-lite. As queer people, do we feel validated or insulted by having a cishet white guy explain gender and sexuality to us?

We then meander through our personal Netflix watching, video game playing and podcast listening before realising having a guest in a catch up geek out means we can barely fit everything in!
