S6 E8: Opioids II, Brexit & Julian Assange: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

[@ToddBlackToddTalk]

The way John Oliver can make topics like these so easy to understand is incredible. We are not worthy of him.

[@DarkZerav]

The Sackler Gallery is still up! 🤣

[@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm]

A drug drama with Michael Keaton, Bryan Cranston, Michael K. Williams (RIP) and Richard Kind had huge potential. Why didn't you make it HBO?

[@olbaze]

Your comment made me look up Michael K. Williams, and it turns out his death was related to heroin and fentanyl. Considering the context of this video, that's... something.

[@donovanlocust1106]

​@@olbazeit's fucked up

[@bonniebrush94]

​@@olbazeThat's tragically ironic. 😢

[@iyeetsecurity922]

They'd have to put dragons in it.

[@JamesEvans2023]

@@iyeetsecurity922 lol the Penguin is the best show they've ever had, no dragons needed, just good writing.

[@redofthewolves]

My brother overdosed on fentanyl in 2023 after years of addiction to opioids. He has demons, but he would still be around to for me to be mad at if not for the Sacklers. I hope they never know peace again.

[@tiffanymarie9750]

Michael K Williams is still a huge loss, he was such a legend.

[@kt9166]

Thank you, John, and everyone at LAST WEEK TONIGHT. You really got the (snow)ball rolling on the Sacklers, which made a huge difference. My favorites were Richard Kind (I dunno!) and the late Michael K. Williams. I wonder if this episode made Michael Keaton decide to do the film DOPESICK? Oh, I can't leave out the great Bryan Cranston. The best show on TV!!!

[@charliegreen5361]

Just realised that Brexit was the British ‘Stupid Watergate’

[@MusicfromMarrs]

Michael Keaton is great - and Dopesick came out in 2021. He was a doctor and not Sackler, but still :)

As an ex Walmart employee I can confirm we DID sell “adult toys” and they were locked up and when customers came to find me to unlock it, I had some of the best conversations of my life

[@curiositypiqued6573]

"Hex It" actually would be an appropriate name Freudian effect ...apt asf

[@barrettsword]

i'm so nostalgic for this episode oh my god...

[@timcash6372]

Got max just to see the full episodes love you John

[@elicioember9231]

Sadly they are not there. HBO keeps there only the two latest seasons for whatever reason.

[@artrogers3985]

That was fantastic! Please vote everyone 🎸

[@groundtodust]

Granted, I watched this in 2019 and may thus have recalled it in the basement of my mind, but the minute he said "multiple actors", I said aloud "Richard Kind".

[@bodenking]

If you enjoyed this and want another hit of “Fuck Corrupt Rich People” I recommend looking into the TV show Leverage: Redemption. It follows a Scooby Doo gang of Columbo-like thieves and conmen who exclusively go up against greedy billionaires, pharmaceuticals, corporations, and any other corrupt business that pisses you off. The first episode of Leverage: Redemption has them going up against a man responsible for addicted pain killers getting pushed on wounded vets and he cherishes his name and art. The show’s a lot of fun and super cathartic and the good news is this is a sequel series to Leverage, same premise, came out at the height of the 2007 Recession, and is five glorious seasons of karmic justice. Please watch them and enjoy

[@elaineb7065]

With what's happening now with Fentanyl, this is timely

[@francisbarp]

Oh, that macaw doesn't belong there. 😢

[@martinjrgensen8234]

Michael Keaton is cool even eating a sandwich

[@-laydeeintrigue-]

Ooh a Jason Carr sighting. Also, shout out to the graphics department for the motion blur on the Guggenheim janitor. 😂 (15:02)

[@DrewSavo]

18:15 Another one of those “Holy shit that’s __________” moments Edit: 22:56 and another!

[@angelowentzler9961]

I think they just invented HBO's new drugsdrama

[@TheRealEvilkitten3]

[@jonnywilson4408]

Is that the beat to Eminem‘s Rap God? Or am I imagining it?

[@wendy8246]

Me vs online folks who don't know me poisoning public opinion

[@2jo2furious]

[@wendy8246]

[@johnchessant3012]

S6 E8

[@AlonelyGonzato]

Why are you doing this? They do this at the title of the episode

[@jakebaked5996]

Are there actual people that laugh on this show or is it just on button

[@mnm1273]

Actual people, they didn't have an audience during cvd and so most of a season is done with silence

[@icantspell7723]

118 views he fell off
