Martha uses the podcast as a thinly veiled excuse to watch Shattered Glass again, and to plumb the depths of Slate to read about the real world scandal. Pete is way more politically savvy than anyone else in the room (natch), and Calee keeps us all grounded by reminding us that teenagers really are the future of the resistance (a thematic callback to Episode 2, even if we all forgot to point that out!). Martha ALSO awkwardly shoehorns in a discussion about superheroes and news coverage of vigilantism, but maybe it comes out all right in the end?

It's another perky episode where we somehow manage to have a good time, despite our weighty topic. Martha takes a victory lap when Pete admits that one of these items is his most favoritest homework he's been assigned yet (which one may surprise you), we argue intent of story versus intent of character, Calee feels skeptical about deconstructed magical girls, and we once again forget to talk about Logan even though it's apparently relevant to absolutely everything we're doing anymore.

Have you ever wanted to put the relationship between Batman and his many, many sidekicks under a microscope and really get to the bottom of them? Good news! In this week's episode, we dig into the hero/sidekick relationship in all its forms, including a rough history where Martha asks Pete to show his work and he doesn't immediately strangle her with her headphones cord. We talk a whole lot about Star Trek and never come to a conclusion about whether or not it's relevant! All this AND MORE.

It's our fourth episode, which means we've officially been doing this for over a month! Hooray! This week, we dive into the concept of remakes, reboots, reimaginings and adaptations and Martha realizes that each of these concepts could probably be their own episode? What makes a good reboot, motives, and purpose are all discussed, and we all unanimously agree to strike the phrase "[X] ruined my childhood" from our cultural vernacular.

In our third episode, the hosts of Did You Do Your Homework discuss BULLYING in all its ugly forms! Homework for this week: Dazed & Confused, Hjordis mini-series, and Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher.

In our second episode, we all get real fired up about the current political climate, while also DEEPLY admiring the role that people of color, teens, and especially teenage girls are playing in our resistance. We talk about music for the first time! Warning: this episode is deeply biased and reveals the biases of all your hosts (spoiler alert: our biases influence the things we love and how we react, and thus will always be an inherent part of our podcast).

It's here! Our debut episode, in which we discuss how identity functions as a narrative tool, get used to the flow of conversation in a podcast, and Martha gets a little cranky about what people see as "feminist" narratives.

The homework for the episode:

Martha: Sense8 holiday special (Netflix streaming)

Pete: The VVitch (film)

Calee: The Orphanage (film)
