1.3 Twerk
So this guy walks into a mutual support group…
Tough crowd Mickey, tough crowd. Telling rape jokes is pretty poor form at the best of times; when your audience consists of sexual abuse survivors it smacks of deliberateness. Why not try watching online twerk videos at the public library instead? Whatever you think about Mickey, he’s determined to make himself noticed, even if it means stamping about L.A. with the subtlety of an ignored toddler. Jon Voight is having a ball as the elderly troublemaker who does for Ray Donovan what The Joker did for The Dark Knight, namely rocking up every couple of scenes and gleefully messing up everything our hero has struggled to keep in place.

Somehow, with Mickey's return, he's already feeling guilty taking the money, as it's breaking the financial structure of the church, paying out so many lawsuits.
