He covers harsh reviews for Nate Bargatze’s film The Breadwinner from The Hollywood Reporter and The AV Club. Stephen A. Smith responds to Hart joking that Smith is on his “Mount Rushmore of racism,” saying he won’t attack Hart, was surprised it came from someone he respects, and maintains he has no issue with the roast format.
