Fans can be jerks. Prompted by Joss Whedon's exodus from Twitter, in this episode we talk about fan entitlement, and how fans of movies, TV and comics are not just more invested in shows than they've ever been, but they tend to take that fandom to extremes by making unreasonable demands of creators. Can you love a thing TOO much?Subscribe on iTunes: http://bit.ly/ClownfishRadioSubscribe on Stitcher: http://bit.ly/ClownfishStitcherT...

DC Comics is rebooting Scooby-Doo and several other classic Hanna-Barbera properties. But... they're a little EXTREME.

Somebody has to pay for people to make entertainment. If it's not the consumer, then it's the creator, advertising or other funding sources. Today we're talking about how it's not "selling out" if the alternative is to go off the air or out of print. We equate the recent HBO deal with Sesame Street with comic books and how Marvel and DC have aligned themselves with major corporations to ensure their survival! We also discuss the "F...

And some are… they just don’t have the social skills to understand when they’ve crossed the line into trolling. The ball is in the content creators’ court, however… so how...
