Fans can be jerks. Prompted by Joss Whedon's exodus from Twitter, in this episode we talk about fan entitlement, and how fans of movies, TV and comics are not just more invested in shows than they've ever been, but they tend to take that fandom to extremes by making unreasonable demands of creators.
