This week, we dig into Season 2 Episode 13 of Courage The Cowardly Dog: "The Tower of Dr. Zalost" in which a perpetually depressed mad scientist uses cannonballs infused with the essence of sadness to make everyone as miserable as he is. When Muriel is hit, it's up to Courage and (to a lesser extent) Eustace to bring her back.

With its themes of depression and the role that love and connection play in helping to combat it, this episode has a lot to unpack so join us as we take a look at it through a modern lens!

Content/trigger warning: Mentions of mental illness, depression, and suicide.

Introducing the Rerun Shuffle — a podcast about revisiting your favorite old comfort TV shows and discussing how they hold up today. In their debut, Viewpoints multimedia editor Tim Nacey (he/him) and editor-in-chief Leo Cabral (they/them) watched the memorable episode “The Outcast” from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” The 17th episode in the fifth season confronts gender and its limitations between the Starship Enterprise crew and an “androgynous race called the J’naii.” Tim and Leo get into the nitty gritty of how the show handles gender, representation and what it means in the real world.

In the debut episode of Field of View, Brian and Jesus dive deep into the first half of this year’s Formula 1 racing season, reviewing the races thus far and discussing the Hamilton-Verstappen rivalry before looking to the future of the league.
