That scene that you describe is straight out of the movie Bombshell, though I know it I I mean, I heard it from you long before that. I realized that that's not where it came from. They they must have stolen it from you. It's almost identical.

Why people recommend it

Bombshell is a film and cultural touchstone that dramatizes the explosive sexual harassment scandals at Fox News involving prominent executives like Roger Ailes. On various episodes of The Megyn Kelly Show, host Megyn Kelly frequently referenced the movie to analyze media portrayals of real-world events and personalities. She compared a guest's personal anecdote about meeting Al Capp to a specific scene in the film, discussed John Lithgow's portrayal of Roger Ailes, and used the movie to frame Stormy Daniels' evolving rationale regarding power imbalances. Kelly also used the platform to voice specific objections regarding the film's creative liberties, particularly the inclusion of a fictionalized character played by Margot Robbie who ultimately directed blame for harassment toward Kelly herself. Through these detailed references, Kelly utilized the film as a springboard to critique dramatic adaptations of newsroom politics and correct public misconceptions surrounding her own experiences. The movie consistently serves as a reference point for discussions concerning workplace misconduct, media accountability, and the dramatization of high-profile corporate scandals in modern cinema.
