Inside Mallorytown’s Blood & Bucket pub, the town wrestles with a hard question: when late-night critics vanish one by one, is that “cancel culture” or government coercion? This episode traces the reported pressure campaign that sidelined Colbert and pulled Jimmy Kimmel—raising a bigger alarm: if regulators and corporate affiliates move in lockstep with political threats, free speech becomes performance under duress.
Bob Roberts, Gareth Ellison, Karen Whitsun, Dana Moretti, Vincent and crew debate what to do next—lawfully. From documented timelines, FOIA requests, advertiser pressure and boycotts, to permitted projections and professional aerial messaging, they outline a playbook that aims for impact without crossing legal lines. A heated exchange pits “consequences for cruelty” against “authoritarian silencing,” and a parent’s plea reminds everyone why guarding dissent—and each other—matters.
