Screen Junkies Address Firing of Andy Signore on Sexual Harassment and Assault Allegations and How They’ll Be Moving Forward

Whether you’re a frequent TCB reader or not, you’re probably aware of Honest Trailers, the oft-celebrated, hugely popular parody web series run by Screen Junkies. Beyond Honest Trailers, Screen Junkies itself has become an online destination for a very fun, specific brand of movie/TV based humor and discussion through several different series and web videos they produce on a regular basis. 

Recently, Andy Signore, who created both Screen Junkies and Honest Trailers, was fired after several allegations of sexual harassment and assault were made by women who came forward like many women who have come forward to take down Harvey Weinstein and men like him over the last several weeks.

The staff at Screen Junkies took some time off, understandably so, to take necessary action following Andy’s firing and discuss how they want to move forward with Screen Junkies sans Andy in making it better, safer, more inclusive, and less divisive.

Here’s an address from Screen Junkies’ Dan Murrell, Roth Cornet, Spencer Gilbert, Joe Starr, and Hal Rudnick.

Honest Trailers themselves are actually nominated for an Emmy and in celebration of that (as well as seizing an opportunity to show off why they are some of the best parodists on the Internet), they made satirical retro TV themes for Emmy nominated shows Stranger Things, This Is Us, and The Handmaid’s Tale. 

They even got the one and only (and very game for comedy these days) Michael Bolton to join in on the fun in addition to bringing on the talents of Natasha Bedingfield, Brian McKnight, and Paula Cole to do said TV themes. For Bolton, he wanted to do a Bolton style song for Game of Thrones as a bonus to this “very special episode” of Honest Trailers. 

Please enjoy it here.
