Welcome again to our Bootlegg'd segment, where we tune in this time to

watch "Sita Sings the Blues", an animated adaptation of The Ramayana, a

famous and hugely influential Indian epic. This incarnation of the story

focuses on a woman's struggle to be worthy of her husband's love, but the

movie is about a whole lot more, including thinly veiled domestic abuse

parallels, the author's own personal struggles, and anachronistic media

presentations from across the ages that somehow form a more perfect whole.

And our discussion is about even more than that, so get ready for a

record-breaking number of disclaimers at the top of the episode, the

eternal struggle of separating content from creator, and an unreasonable

number of Jojo's references. That's all!
