Office Hours with Dr. C

Dr. C has Jack as a guest again discussing The Boys and how it highlights some of the darker sides of our society through its worldbuilding and character development.  

Dr. C invites his former student Jack to celebrate their rather unpopular opinions of Starwars (*SPOILERS* they have nothing but praise for every. single. episode.). It's the total gush-fest one would expect to have with an unusually enthusiastic professor: exciting and riddled with nuggets of interesting ideas. Plus, we learn about Dr. C's salary structure for Barry. 

We talk with Rabbi Lenette again about the Coding of characters, how that works, and the particular Jewish coding of many of our favorite comic book characters.

From mass shooters and comic book tropes, how do we view violence and how does our storytelling influence our culture around violence? 

Dr. C and Barry are joined by Shaylynn Lesinski, from CU Boulder, to talk about the women of GoT.

In this episode, we discuss Frank Castle, who he is, what he represents, and how confused some people must be to look up to him as a role model. 

Welcome to Office Hours with Dr. C, for the conversations about media studies and pop culture that can't happen in class. Dr. C helps to break down the stories told in media and what it all means.
