A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

The frog is sweating.

The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature.

“He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs.

Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

I'm talking about the green screen itself, plus whatever morph suits people might wear, not the CGI overlaid upon it.

An organization known as the Obligati. Most of its members, from top to bottom, are in it for money for one reason or another. Either to amass greater wealth or to escape the horrible debt that they have found themselves in. For them, the only crime in high treason or fraud is getting caught.
