Be Reel: 'The Assistant' Chronicles #MeToo Abuses By Way of 1,000 Tiny Paper Cuts (feat. Cassie Da Costa)

Whether their torment is played for laughs, cold shivers, or #MeToo rage, assistants get a raw deal on screen. This week, as Kitty Green’s incisive new drama “The Assistant” rolls out around the country, Chance and Noah look at the role of assistants in cinema and real life, also revisiting “The Devil Wears Prada” (2006) and “Secretary” (2002). They're thrilled to be joined by Daily Beast writer Cassie Da Costa to discuss her essay on "The Assistant" and recount her own experiences with a troubling film industry internship.
