Hello everyone!!

Time for us to talk about one of the bigger and better releases of the year, and a kind of horror movie, no less, it's Sinners!

Come along as we go into how the film represents music and culture, how it frames the ideas of religion and "sinning", and, obviously, the institutional practices of racism, colonialism and oppression. There's a LOT to talk about, and we certainly do!

Enjoy!

Hello everyone!!

Time to wrap up the Witcher Saga proper!! As we go over this series in things we hadn't yet covered last time!

We dive into the sense of History and Myth established, some other relationships and the fellowship functions themselves, and some of our general thoughts on the Witcher and the Saga! We mark it here for the books, we are (probably) finished!

Enjoy!!

Hello everyone!!

We are back with some more Star Wars, and of the best kind, with the second season of Andor!

There's been a lot of talk on Andor lately, and having done an episode for the first season, we were not going to let it pass us by.

So join us, as we dive into what makes this such a compelling show (amidst flaws, as we talk about them too), critiquing a great deal of liberal hypocrisies, having a rather nuanced understanding of violence, all while never conceding that "maybe the fascists aren't so bad", no. With Andor, we can see a representation of antifascist struggle that goes leaps and bounds to critiquing empire and the horror of fascism throughout.

Simply enough: what if pop culture was just good?

Enjoy!

And as we mentioned it, check out good friend Jon's text on Andor!
