    Joker: Why Make a Sympathetic Shooter?

    EP70 - Letā€™s talk about toxic masculinity, gun violence, and mental illness in Joker. Because hereā€™s the real question: in a world where we can see real life mass shootings on TV and read about them in newspapers and hear about them on the radio, why do we need a movie that celebrate and sympathizes with the shooter?

    Harry Potter, Representation, and Intention

    EP69 - Whether you've read the books, watched the movies, both, or never have and never will, everyone knows Harry Potter. But what we like to avoid are the issues: from lack of representation and stereotypes to what JK Rowling does (and doesn't do) to make headlines today.

    ESG, Sampling, and Sexism

    EP68 - Have you ever heard of ESG? They're a band made up of four sisters that blend genres, merging funk, punk, and hip hop. And whether you realize it or not youā€™ve probably heard their music. How? ESGā€™s track ā€œUFOā€ is one of the most sampled songs of all time, appearing in music from Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Marilyn Manson, The Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, and more. And even though ā€œUFOā€ was written by a group of women, much of the time their music is put behind misogynistic lyrics - regardless of their permission.

    The One Where We Talk About Friends

    EP67 - To put it simply, Friends was a phenomenon, not just influencing TV and pop culture, but American beliefs and values. Friends aired from 1994 to 2004, and while it may have been progressive for its time, now it just feels dated and problematic. But letā€™s take a closer look at how the show is essentially a time capsule, discussing how casual homophobia, gender stereotypes, sexism, transphobia, and racism can become a normalized part of society.

    Cultures Aren't Costumes

    Haunted Halloween: The Exorcist and the Middle Eastern Demon

    It's Halloween season so let's talk about something spooky, creepy, and disturbing, like how the 1973 horror film The Exorcist perfectly packaged anti-Arab sentiment, Islamophobia, and xenophobia to its audience.
