e363. Is The Mummy a Bad Movie?

We’re a pop culture analysis podcast. As such you’d think we’d analyze a lot more movies than we do. Maybe we should do more. That’s a question for another day. But every once in a while we realize that one of the hosts of the show absolutely adores a move that maybe isn’t as beloved…

e357. The Museum Dilemma: Ownership, Ethics, and Colonialism

e346: Over the Rainbow: Examining Wicked, Oz, and their Cultural Impact

Did you know there was a movie adaptation of the film Wicked released this week?

That’s to be expected; the play…

e345. Superpowers, Sex, and Science with Diana McCallum

For a show that was originally created in a comic book shop, we do surprisingly few episodes about comic books. Today is an opportunity to fix that. A few weeks ago, Mav was contacted by a publishing agent and asked if we could interview the author of a book that was all about comic book…
