'She-Hulk' Actor Tatiana Maslany on Israel's Genocide, AI in Hollywood, and… Canada

Exactly one year ago, Mehdi was joined on 'We're Not Kidding' by actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Incredible Hulk in Marvel's 'Avengers' movies. So it feels fitting that today's guest is none other than Emmy award-winning actor Tatiana Maslany who plays She-Hulk in the Marvel TV series of the same name. Like Mark, Tatiana has been an outspoken advocate for Palestine over the past few years and continues to use her platform to bring attention to Israel's genocide.

Mehdi also asks Tatiana about the issues roiling Hollywood right now, including the widespread adoption of AI technology ("idiotic" says Tatiana) and the looming acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by the Trump-aligned Ellison family. Finally, Mehdi asks Tatiana to "burst the bubble" for Americans who think Canada and Canadian politics are more progressive than here in the U.S.
