Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson, and Ethics of Chinatown
The discussion examines the 1974 film Chinatown as a potential "revelation of method" where creators like Roman Polanski and Robert Evans allegedly turned real-world crimes into celebrated art. Jason Horsley compares this behavior to British DJ Jimmy Savile, who used public boasting about his crimes as an expression of power over victims. The segment highlights the mysterious background of Jack Nicholson and the distinction between aesthetically good filmmaking and ethically compromised production.
