circumstances are as was reported, was not only out of proportion, it shouldn’t have happened at all — and that it actually makes things worse because it treated a consensual relationship as though it was sexual assault.From there, Maher made a lengthy argument in defense of office romance if only, he argued, because work is where people spend most of their time and are most likely to meet other people.“Now that Americans are finally returning to the office after the pandemic, let’s let them f—,” Maher joked as he kicked it off. “Not necessarily right on the copy machine, but, you know, in general.”Maher brought up Udoka next.
“Now, for sure, not all of the facts about this case are known. And if it turns out he was violent, or physically coercive, then his case has nothing to do with what I’m about to say , and he should expect the appropriate, and severe punishment,” Maher said.“But, in general, it’s long overdue that America had an adult review” of what Maher called “our war on office romance.”“There’s only a few places where Americans meet each other in person anymore: Work, bars, church, and Adam Levine’s house,” Maher quipped.Maher noted that as far as the Udoka case is concerned, all reporting indicates it was consensual.
“I shouldn’t even be reading about it. What people do that is intimate and consensual is not my business, not yours, and not that f—ing little leprechaun,” Maher added, referring to the Celtics’ mascot.From there, he got into how the impropriety of the relationship Udoka had involved a power imbalance with whomever he had a relationship with.
He noted that coercive and abusive situations are bad. “But to deny two humans the chance to find love because they work in the same office is a bit

Brent Lang Executive Editor A brief furor erupted during Kevin Spacey’s sexual misconduct trial on Wednesday after Anthony Rapp suggested on the witness stand that the Oscar-winning star had made unwanted overtures to several people. “I came forward because I knew I wasn’t the only person that Kevin Spacey made advances to,” Rapp said, a comment which immediately drew objections from Spacey’s lawyers.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic What strange sorcery is this that “Hocus Pocus” — a so-so comedy turned campy cult favorite starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as absolutely fabulous Salem witch sisters — should be getting a sequel nearly three decades after its 1993 release? At the time, Variety speculated that, were it not for the film’s three stars, “‘Hocus Pocus’ wouldn’t seem out of place on the Disney Channel, and perhaps belongs there.” (Its director, Kenny Ortega, would go on to helm the “High School Musical” franchise for the cabler.) In a sense, that’s what’s happened with this follow-up, aimed to breathe some life into the graveyard that is Disney+. The sequel’s existence owes less to popular demand (the original earned a respectable $39.3 million stateside and went on to become a Halloween season staple) than the realization that the film had tapped into preteens’ fascination with witchcraft before Harry Potter came along. It can be no coincidence that the new feature lifts so much of its look and feel from that franchise — with eye of newt, a dead man’s head and some aspects of “The Craft” tossed in for good measure. In “Hocus Pocus 2,” the three teens called upon to save Salem from the Sanderson sisters’ return are themselves budding witches, which means the movie is less about scaring kids away from magic than indulging their post-Potter junior wizarding fantasies.
