Media For the Intellectually Impoverished

Who doesn't love a good love story? Today's topic delves into that question as we talk about romance in media. Accidentally walking in during the sex scenes, buying ponies at the wrong time, and all the other jokes and gaffs you've come to expect.

Woah! We haven't done one of these in a while. As a gesture of goodwill for letting us freeze to death in Texas, we decided y'all deserved a bonus episode. So here's a cutout of our recent episode about Music where Tayler talks about his terrible high school German teacher and Randi has an existential crisis.

How does music affect the tone of a piece of media? What makes music iconic? How many letters are in the alphabet? Does anybody even read these descriptions? Who heckin knows, bros? Podcasting.

DISCLAIMER: This episode features talk of violence. Gun violence, violence in media. If that is not something you are comfortable with, we advise you not to listen to this episode. That being said, today Randi and Tayler talk about the importance of correctly portraying violence in media. What is some history about video game rating and cinema censorship? What's the importance of dark themes in media? And what the heck is Pastafarianism? All this and more in today's intellectual journey.

Good afternoon, fellow intellectuals. If you're anything like us and you love superheroes, you're in luck. Today we bring those caped crusaders to the table and discuss where the genre could be headed. What could DC do to remedy their track record? How many versions of Watchmen are there? Howard the Duck exists, still... for some reason. Why? We talk about it.

Welcome back, fellow intellectuals. We have returned! First and foremost, we'd like to thank you guys for letting us have our Christmas break. As promised, here's another absolute banger of an episode. Today's topic is rather simple, it's our personal favorite pieces of media. What are the qualifications of Disney Princesses? What is Time, really? And how can you change its path? And can Randi handle criticism? The answer is unclear for all but one of those questions, but join us as we discuss it.
