Finally we hit the mid point of any character story to archetype pipeline, when we start making our own stories with characters that are only vaguely reminiscent of the book characters. Who handled this changed better Guy Ritchie with RDJ playing the well known detective or Disney with their small rodents in a hidden world that looks like ours?

The clues are being uncovered in the murder of the Sherlock Holmes character and his stories. We found the first set here with Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett's filmed adaptations. How will this connect to the larger picture if at all? Let's begin to unravel this mystery.

Now in a trend we accidentally started last year we look at another character archetype borne from a popular English literature character. Using deductive methods we will find out how this character was murdered in public knowledge and those who are responsible. But before we find the guilty parties we must start at the beginning....with Arthur Conan Doyle's books.

TW: Talk of dead animals from 34:34 - 36:00

The final offer of reality TV and it focuses on the home and whether or not it is acceptable. From home improvement to hoarders, from purchasing a fixer upper to getting the dream home over a wedding the home is something we all have but not always own for yourselves.

Sometimes we need help improving ourselves physically and mentally, and sometimes people make shows about beating all the individuality out of you for the approval of rando's on the street who you have never met nor care about. We look at the reality phenomenon that may have lead to an uptick in social anxiety for fear of being told you are wrong and should feel bad despite harming no one and being happy.

One of the eternal issues we all face at some point that has now been monetised and exploited by networks while claiming possible educational purposes. Some walk this tightrope better than others and some are just cruel, but can any show in this genre be slightly redeemable?

*Quick correction it's Filmrise Television who are the producers who have the show on YouTube and Fuji Television were a producer as well*



Iconic, often replicated never duplicated and game changing, all these are just the beginning of describing Iron Chef. we try to surmise not only the appeal of this cooking show but how it changed the landscape of cooking shows and all the children it spawned.

Now the avatar for girlhood and the other icon sacrificed on the alter of pop feminism. Her legacy is long and many have come for her crown but still she stands as a beacon of high femme power. We try to brief and run through all of her histories and relevance to both us and pop culture at large.

TW: Talks of SA, non-consensual sex relations and sexual violence from 45:46 - 51:55

A nice easy, breezy, beautiful, Covergirl style topic, that in no way is a mine field of a Gordian knot topic can lead to tripping on words as we try to empathetically explain the complicated relationship real life women have with sexuality and how media's exploitation and then demonization of it, is confusing and leads to complicated feelings about said expressions.

One of the most rapidly changing forms of storytelling and capacity for telling stories gets a look at how it handles feminine presenting characters. Does the young one of media forms do better or is it following in the well worn footsteps of those that came before?
