Hello listeners,
I'm here with my co-host Jack and I'm the other host of the Fluent Mind podcast and today We're gonna be talking about whether you can separate the art from the artist Jack why don't you kick us off?
Yeah, this is a good question.

but he had to run away from the United States
because he was under investigation for a a sexual crime in that happened in the 1970s I believe or maybe early 80s and yet people still watch his movies and he still makes movies but he does it overseas
like I think from France or something um and but there's but there are people who are you know who won't uh You know,
at the award ceremonies and things like that for those movies that he makes,

You know, they don't agree with him being able to make movies.
Like, he shouldn't have that job.
So, I mean, there are, like, and Woody Allen's another example of someone who's controversial,
