DISCUSSIONS FROM THE OTHERHOOD episodes

  • PLAYING BY THE RULES - WHEN IS IT OKAY TO BEND? WHEN IS IT OKAY TO BREAK?
    There are rules for different genres, rules for creatures in horror, rules for good guys and bad guys. But when is it okay to bend the rules? We have anti-heroes and sympathetic villains. When is it okay to break the rules with vampires that run around in the sunlight or evil superheroes? Join the Blerdsassins Next Door 8p PST/ 8p CST/ 9p EST as we discuss whether this is a great expansion or whether we're spreading the genres too thin.

  • THEY GOT IT WRONG!
    Everyone knows a lot about one thing or another and generally will take great care in doing that thing correctly... but not in Hollywood. They'll tell a story not bothering to determine whether a thing is done properly or not. Whether it's a legal drama, a medical comedy, a set up involving real estate that could never happen in real life, and it drives those who know better, bonkers! Join the Blerdsassins Next Door at 6p PST/ 8p CST/ 9 EST to discuss how Hollywood Got a set up wrong and how we (or you) could have fixed it.

  • THE RETRO-EASTER SHOW!
    During my childhood, Easter was one of those "six in one hand/ half a dozen in the other" holidays. Yes, there was egg coloring, jelly beans, candy and a few good cartoons! But on the other hand there was wearing the Easter clothes all day that you weren't even allowed to sweat in, wearing the good shoes that were invariably half a size too small by the spring and of course the dreaded straightening comb!! Join us at 6p PST/ 8p CST/ 9p EST to discuss our Retro Easters, the best and worst!

  • MISERY SET TO MUSIC - YOU CRY, I'LL CLAP

  • THE POOR PEOPLE SHOW
    We've seen in films and on TV where people, families, or entire communities are depicted as being impoverished or poor. But what does poor look like exactly? Do the depictions change from region to region, from one ethnicity to another? Do Hollywood and the media see poverty through a prism of their own making?Join the Blerdsassins Next door 6p PDT/ 8p CDT/ 9p EDT to discuss the way poverty is portrayed.
