Disaster movies, why do we love them so much? From blockbuster films like The Day After Tomorrow to low budget flicks like Sharknado, these movies are a staple genre in our culture. Whether you hate to love them, or love to hate them, it seems they're here to stay. Join us as we discuss the good, the bad, and the truly terrible!

Can there be an action film made using the female gaze? Yes! Can a "chick-flick" be made with a male gaze? Very much so! But what is the difference between these gazes, and more importantly, why is the ultimate male protagonist in female gaze driven films so frequently Brendan Fraser?

What makes a character a "scumbag"? And why does Hollywood want us to see their stories through rose-colored glasses? In this episode, we look at the characters the movies want us to root for, and shining a spotlight on many of the reasons why we need to start changing the narratives.

CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD! We dive into the Marvel series "Loki" on Disney Plus: what we loved, what we hated, and what we're looking forward to in the series to come.
