In the first of a new series of Movie Crypt roundtable conversations, Adam, Joe, and Arwen welcome the co-creators and co-hosts of The MJ Cast (Jamon Bull, Q, and Elise Capron) along with award winning British investigative journalist and frequent MJ Cast contributor Charles Thomson (THE HUFFINGTON POST, THE GUARDIAN, THE SUN, and more) as they candidly discuss toxic fandom in a cancel culture world.

Created in 2015, The MJ Cast is a podcast celebrating Michael Jackson through in-depth interviews with the very people who worked closely with and truly knew the real King of Pop as well as extremely honest opinions and perspectives that cover all aspects of Jackson’s life and career. This roundtable conversation explores the joys of creating a podcast dedicated to discussing THE most famous entertainer who ever lived as well as the many hurdles that come with attracting such an extremely passionate and opinionated global fanbase… especially when the subject of their podcast was placed in the cancel culture crosshairs with the 2019 release of HBO’s polarizing and problematic documentary/TV movie LEAVING NEVERLAND in which two men accused Jackson of having sexually abused them in their childhood years. MJ Cast co-hosts Jamon, Q, and Elise share their front row experiences with fandom at both its best and at its uglies while investigative journalist Charles Thomson (best known for his award winning investigation that exposed the cover up of the historic Shoebury paedophile ring) levels off the conversation with his fact based perspective on the explosive worldwide response to the controversial LEAVING NEVERLAND.

===========================
