And if you don't like this movie? Well, then I suppose you can... get out!

Our analysis of Get Out shouldn’t be the only (or even the first!) that you hear. To provide a broader perspective, we’ve assembled this list of pieces written by critics of color.

• “Getting In and Out” by Zadie Smith
• “From ‘Get Out’ to ‘Nope’, Jordan Peele is Reframing the Act of Looking” by Kelli Weston
• “Get Out film analysis - Negrophilia, race-relation and the new dynamic” by Abdul Moiz
• “Horror Blackademics: The Get Out (2017) Syllabus” by the Graveyard Shift Sisters. This is an index of even more pieces, compiled for a course on Get Out created by Crystal Boson, PhD.

This week we talk about Age of Empires II, one of the greats of the RTS genre. In a world before Totally Realistic Battle Simulator, we used to have to fight our simulated battles over multiple hour-long campaigns. How doe Age of Empires stack up in a world where this slow burn design philosophy has fallen to the wayside? Tune in to find out.
