Show Notes
Bradley Cooper has caused some controversy this week. The trailer for his latest movie Maestro, where he plays the famous conductor Leonard Berstein, showcases Cooper wearing a prosthetic nose in a bid to make him appear more like Bernstein...or, as many people have complained, more jewish.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are so outraged by the choice to give Cooper prosthetics and where we should be drawing the line when it comes to actors playing characters from minority groups that they don't belong to.
