    What a CreepSeason 25, Episode 2John LandisJohn Landis, a well-known director and father of past Creep Max Landis, has directed some of the most successful comedies, including Animal House, Trading Places, and Coming to America. While directing his segment for 1983’s The Twilight Zone: The Movie, a helicopter accident tragically resulted in the deaths of actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. In 1987, Landis was charged with involuntary manslaughter but was ultimately acquitted. In this episode, we discuss why he is a Creep.

    Andy Dick

    You probably know Andy Dick from the “The Ben Stiller Show” or “NewsRadio.” But he’s also famous for a very long history of harassing, groping, licking, and punching people, as well as whipping *it out in public. He has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse, but that’s no excuse for his behavior. What a creep.

    The True Crime Story Behind “The Natural”

    The Eddie Waitkus shooting is a notable event in baseball history. It occurred in 1949 when the popular first baseman (and WW2 hero) for the Philadelphia Phillies was shot by an obsessed fan named Ruth Steinhagen. The incident was a shocking reminder of the dangers of celebrity obsession. Also, it inspired Bernard Malamud's novel The Natural, which was later adapted into a popular film starring Robert Redford (who played a 19-year-old when he was 47 at the time!)

    Trigger Warnings: Gun violence, stalking, alcoholism, and mental health treatments

    Karl Lagerfeld

    Karl Lagerfeld was a fashion designer best known for heading Chanel for over 30 years. He was one of the first designers to channel their fashion leadership into becoming a public figure. He developed this image as “the Kaiser,” a too-cool snob with dark sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and a ponytail that got him almost as much attention as his designs for Chanel.
    Sure, he was a fashion icon, but our man Karl was also fatphobic, racist, and misogynistic. What a creep.

    What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 8The Creepy History of the “Desperate Housewives”"Desperate Housewives" was a famous American TV series from 2004 to 2012 set in Wisteria Lane, a seemingly perfect suburb. The show followed the lives of women and their families, uncovering secrets, scandals, and mysteries. The main characters included Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo, Bree Van de Kamp, Gabrielle Solis, and Edie Britt, each with their unique romance, betrayal, and drama storylines. The biggest drama, however, was behind the scenes with accusations of racism, sexism, harassment, workplace abuse, bullying, and general assholery.

    For some reason, Fox News loves to bring on celebrities to comment on political news, but the only “celebrities” they can get are Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and these three - Dean Cain, Kristy Swanson, and Kevin Sorbo. Check out their Twitter feeds for all things anti-science, racist, homophobic, and transphobic.

    Diane Downs & Ann Rule's "Small Sacrifices"
    2024/04/05
    What a CreepSeason 24, Episode 7Diane DownsDiane Downs gained infamy for the 1983 shooting of her three children, one of whom died, in Springfield, Oregon. The case became highly publicized due to the shocking nature of the crime and the subsequent investigation and trial. On May 19, 1983, Diane Downs drove her children to a rural road and shot them at close range. She then drove VERY SLOWLY to a hospital, claiming that a “bushy-haired stranger” had shot her and her children during a carjacking attempt. However, inconsistencies in her story and evidence led investigators to suspect her involvement in the crime. Anne Rule’s book Small Sacrifices was turned into a TV movie starring Farah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal that garnered huge ratings.

We’re Jason Bateman and Michael J. Fox girlies. His sister Candace Cameron Brue starred in “Full House,” TV movies, and more recently “Fuller House” on Netflix.At some point in their lives, they got on the Evangelical Christian train, which they then started using as an excuse for their homophobia. They love to talk about how god provides salvation, but they use God for deflection.
