Geek Between the Lines

This week, we look at nationalism in The Hunger Games trilogy, and of course Brittany brings up how the old white male president is the perfect symbol for nationalism and imperialism. We also think a lot about what made certain districts exhibit nationalism vs revolution, and wish the books addressed international applications a little more overtly. (Let's face it, the U.S. is the Capitol after all.)

To get the sources we mention in the episode (and learn how optimistic Brittany's doom stat really was) read this episode’s show notes at https://geekbetweenthelines.wixsite.com/podcast/post/hunger-games-episode

This week, we finally get to analyze LOTR through the theme of gender! We obviously talk about Éowyn a whole lot, geekily critique representation, look at Sam and Frodo's relationship, and realize that a character is essentially #killedbytoxicmasculinity. Unsurprisingly, Chris makes use of his grad school classes yet again while Brittany uses host of sarcastic tones and air-quotes.

In this week’s episode, we look at how several beloved characters interact with shame very differently - from Neville Longbottom to Severus Snape, Ron Weasley, Book 5 CAPS LOCK Harry, and the most admirable Luna Lovegood. We also analyze the function of shame in House Elf culture and wish an element of shame had been integrated into the concept of Dementors.

This week we look at the theme of pride in our Star Wars podcast episode. We oh-so-shockingly talk a lot of about Anakin, Darth Vader, and the Sith, but look at where pride becomes a problem for the Jedi, too. Also, get ready for a mention of Boba Fett’s sick Mandalorian armor, the new trending #rhythmofpride, and Chris being too Ravenclaw to let Brittany’s jokes be jokes.

This week we look at the theme of greed in our ATLA and LOK podcast episode. We analyze the underlying greed that various villains manifest and think about how different governments systems in each nation may or may not foster greed, all while Chris puts his grad school fascism class to good use.

This week we do a fun Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse podcast episode! We take a look at the cast of characters, laugh at the film’s cleverness, celebrate the phenomenal artwork, and analyze the multiplicities found in identities, relationships, and neighborhoods throughout the movie. We end the episode by discussing which Spider-Person we would want to save the world with and then sort Miles Morales into a Hogwarts House (why ever not?!).

In this week’s new podcast episode we discuss the theme of trust in The Hunger Games. Through a fun conversation, we analyze Haymitch, think about not lying to each other, wonder how Katniss and Peeta regained trust after so many breaches, and struggle a lot with words. #genuosity

This week’s Sorting Chat covers some of the characters we get to know in first Hunger Games book. It is particularly difficult for our hosts to sort some of the characters into tidy boxes, so expect a lot of dual-house sortings...and also a ton of Slytherins (because, of any Hogwarts House, they would make it past the cornicopia).

This week, we discuss family in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. We analyze how much impact parents in Middle Earth have on their kids, conclude that Elves must be quite tired of their family after thousands of years together, and think symbolically about the handing down of family dysfunction.
