Same. Im just now learning about it. While I enjoy the art of the film, what the director was jailed for is too awful for me to continue watching the movie in the future.

2026-02-11 03:46:07 +0000 UTCI honestly had no idea about the director’s past and what he did….

2026-02-06 19:05:16 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say that I found this comment extremely thoughtful and reflective. You don't dismiss the complexity and nuance of the question, which I really appreciate a lot, because in reality it *is* a complicated question. An artist gives a piece of themselves in their artwork, so when I've found out an artwork I love has embedded in it the pieces of an artist which has the capacity for hate and inhumanity, that *does* make me question the very message and viewpoint of the artwork! Things that have given me joy in the past are now marred with melancholy, becoming more bittersweet than anything. The artist and the art are not fully separable, and the viewpoint of the art is going to be influenced by the artist and their knowledge-base. This is why we can have artworks that are biased, *and* it's why we can have artworks that represent a particular experience very well. However, the art is not fully inseparable from the artist either. Viewers can hold multiple interpretations up to the viewpoint, and it can inspire things far beyond what the artist might have imagined. This seems paradoxical, but I truly believe both forces are at play in any given artwork: that the art has a viewpoint influenced by the artist, and that this viewpoint at least restricts or subtly guides the breadth of interpretations which spread out from it. Anyways, really liked your post. :)

2026-02-06 11:51:53 +0000 UTCI appreciate the effort you put into building this community, and I want to acknowledge that—transparency and communication do matter, and I value both. That said, I didn’t watch the reaction. The theme isn’t my thing, and until now I had no real knowledge of the backstory, which I’ve only just learned about. It’s awful—truly awful. The question of separating art from artist, or product from producer, is a genuine conundrum. I’ve been plagued with it as figures I loved like Chopra or Chomsky, of whom I have books, and l’ve followed for ages are now basically dirt to me. What makes it even more complex is that we’re living in a moment where so many “gods” are falling from their pedestals so quickly. It inevitably raises the question: do we stay silent, or do we address it and openly negate everything that at some point gave us some type of joy? I don’t think you did anything wrong. If anything, perhaps in future cases like this, a brief disclaimer could help, I don’t know, —especially for reactions that might reasonably provoke this kind of outrage. I understand that doing so sets a precedent, but in this case, that precedent has already been set, which was generous of you. Something along the lines of: “We acknowledge and condemn the problematic nature of X; this reaction is produced solely for entertainment purposes.” Which probably should have been self explanatory to begin with given how consistently the people on the channel share their own values.. But I digress; At the end of the day, there is also personal responsibility involved, ours as consumers/viewers. As individuals, we retain the agency to decide whether to engage with the content—or not.

2026-02-06 09:11:25 +0000 UTCI understand that some people don't want to watch something because someone problematic is associated with it; however, to disregard an entire work of art because one person was bad isn't fair to the hundreds of people who were involved and are innocent. Disregarding films because someone involved in some way was/is a terrible person is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. On a personal level, the X-Men trilogy is one of my favorites. I know that Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner are bad people, but to disregard the work of all the writers, actors, producers, editors, cinematographers, extras, and so on would be ridiculous.

2026-02-06 07:26:56 +0000 UTCIf those clowns were seriously worried about bad producers and actors, enjoying movies is gonna be real hard considering the vast amount of movies that had monsters attached to them in some way. Go find another hobby if yall are gonna be selective in what you cry about. This is why i try and stay away from Hollywood peoples personal lives because i just want to enjoy the content, not be wrapped up in a weird parasocial situation like the simpleton population likes to be. You can enjoy a movie without endorsing the worst person who touched it.

2026-02-06 06:40:38 +0000 UTCExactly. This why even sane people think cancel culture has gone to far. Jeepers Creepers is 25 years old. Why do we need to relitigate it today. People who have been horrible in there private life have existed through the history of all entertainment.

2026-02-06 05:39:10 +0000 UTCWhy are people so immature about separating people from the product and would rather tarnish a movie and its creators because a terrible turned out ro be associated with it. The guy is blacklisted and has no career after his past was discovered. We should still be able to enjoy the movie especially since we dont have to look at his face. It's like trying to watch a Kirk Douglas movie knowing he raped Natalie Wood as a teenager.

2026-02-06 05:33:21 +0000 UTCI thought this was pretty obvious lol that would’ve absolutely ruined the viewing for them

2026-02-06 01:19:12 +0000 UTCThere reaction was horrible with out even knowing this. Split these 2 up that last while has not been good.

2026-02-06 01:03:16 +0000 UTCForgot to add the reason I'm not commenting anything about the controversies of the movie is because truthfully I literally JUST found out through the comments so I don't feel I am equipped yet in terms of knowledge on the situation to weigh in productively so I'm sorry if it seems like I'm glossing over it I'm still digesting what I just found out 😳

2026-02-06 00:45:52 +0000 UTCSorry to go off topic but I feel this needs to be said but this is what I love the most about this channel is how real you all are and that you keep us informed and actually pay attention to the questions and concerns of your audience and make the time in your (insanely) busy schedules to acknowledge it so it makes me feel like we are more than just "numbers" and makes me feel like we truly are valued members of your channel so thank you so much for your candor it's greatly appreciated ❤️

2026-02-06 00:28:46 +0000 UTCAddressing this topic on the video 100% would have steered the video in a different direction than originally intended and affected Tara and Roxy's first watch. Do people expect you to bring up the history of every horrible director/producer for any movie involving one? Do we need to discuss Harvey Weinstein any time you watch a Tarantino or Kevin Smith movie? What about a Kevin Spacey movie? Do we need to go over all of his offenses every time? Bret Ratner? Joss Whedon? Bryan Singer? If you had to discuss the crimes & accusations of someone involved with a film anytime one of those films is watched, half the discussions on this channel would be about sex crimes because Hollywood history is FILLED with horrible people in front of the camera, in the directors chair, and in the studios. Here's an idea. Let's just put an asterisk * next to the movie title any time anyone of merit involved with that film has been accused of a horrible crime and do a double asterisk if someone has been convicted of a horrible crime. That way we don't have to have a discussion about it, but everyone knows that everyone knows that a horrible person had some involvement in the film. Problem solved lol.
