Disney+ added content warnings to certain episodes of The Muppet Show. Amazon logo-hitler-mustache.html">tweaked its app logo to look less like, uh, Hitler. Turner Classic Movies tcm-takes-look-problematic-164655636.html">launched a new series called Reframed Classics that will, well, frame movies like Gone with the Wind and Breakfast at Tiffany's with discussions of their problematic aspects.

And: Allen v. Farrow is a four-part HBO documentary series that chronicles the sexual assault allegation against Woody Allen by Dylan Farrow.
