48 - Violence in The Lord of the Rings
August 29, 2019 03:29 - 38 minutes - 30.1 MBThis week, we look at LOTR through the theme of Violence and (unsurprisingly) there's a lot to talk about. We analyze both the Steward of Gondor and Gandalf, think about how violence impacts character development, and see where the books and movies diverge.

47 - Ability in Harry Potter
August 22, 2019 05:27 - 41 minutes - 31.8 MBIn this episode we look at the strengths and weaknesses of ability representation in Harry Potter. We explore ideas surrounding Neville and his parents, Lupin, and several characters that don't have access to magic. We also critique the Wizarding World for how they allocate resources and find other cases of ableism in and outside of the books. (Oh, and here is fair warning that we don't talk about PTSD at all this episode because trauma is one of our HP themes for a future episode!) If you...
46 - Play in Star Wars
August 16, 2019 03:51 - 30 minutes - 23.1 MBIn this week's episode, we explore the theme of Play in Star Wars. We talk about Han and Lando, consider if Droids can play, and wish those on the Dark Side had a more playful side.

45 - Compassion in Avatar + Legend of Korra
August 09, 2019 05:18 - 35 minutes - 27.7 MBThis week we discuss Compassion in ATLA and LOK! We talk a lot about Katara and Aang, consider if taking bending away is a compassionate act, think about Iroh and Zuko’s relationship, and wonder if Avatars feel compassion while in the Avatar State. We also announce that Chris’ new blog post about his experience as a presenter at San Diego Comic-Con is now up!

44 - Despair in The Hunger Games
August 02, 2019 00:56 - 30 minutes - 23.1 MBThis week, we look at The Hunger Games through the theme of Despair. We oh-so-shockingly look at Katniss, think about if generational despair can be a thing, and wonder if certain characters have defiance in the face of despair or if they aren't truly in despair if they still have fight in them. Basically, we go a bit back and forth on if we see despair everywhere or only in a few specific moments, depending on how we define the term.

San Diego Comic-Con Special!
July 27, 2019 01:58 - 39 minutes - 27.9 MBIn this very special episode, we interview some of the wonderful attendees at San Diego Comic-Con about their love for Harry Potter, Avatar, and Star Wars! From a professor who sends Hogwarts letters to his students to a number of amazing cosplayers, we hear lots of great perspectives on what they love about these series and what they'd like to see more of.

43 - Loneliness in Lord of the Rings
July 11, 2019 01:28 - 31 minutes - 24.4 MBIn this week's episode, we analyze LOTR (and a bit of The Hobbit) through the theme of Loneliness. We look at several characters, including Treebeard, Gollum, Gandalf, Éowyn, and Aragorn. We also consider how the ring diminishes or extenuates loneliness, how certain hobbits help break through its hold, and how Sauron would have been more interesting if he was lonely without his best bud blood ring.

42 - Courage in Harry Potter
July 03, 2019 23:04 - 44 minutes - 34.1 MBThis week, we tackle the theme of courage in Harry Potter (although there is so much in the series, it's more like we just graze the surface). We discuss the Battle of Hogwarts, ponder if Dumbledore is actually very brave at all, and re-sort some characters. In the end, Brittany gushes about Harry while Chris finds himself falling in love with that green-eyed, messy-haired boy.

41 - War in Star Wars
June 26, 2019 19:43 - 36 minutes - 27.4 MBThis week, we look at war in Star Wars. We examine Padme Amidala's efforts to avoid war, think about how war does and doesn't impact relationships in the series, critique the absence of significant elements of warfare, and wonder about underlying causes of Star Wars conflicts. While this week's theme sounds overly apparent, we actually find that SW isn't as good at war as it really should be - come on, it's in the name, people!

40 - Leadership in Avatar + Legend of Korra
June 20, 2019 00:21 - 33 minutes - 25.9 MBThis week, we dive into the theme of leadership in ATLA and LOK. We have a fun discussion on Katara, the Earth Kingdom, non-powered character tropes, missed opportunities in the Northern Water Tribe, and even come up with a new fossil fuel company.

Sorting Chat - Legend of Korra
June 13, 2019 00:46 - 14 minutes - 11.1 MBIt's been a while since we last sorted any beloved characters into Hogwarts Houses, so we decided to have a go at LOK this week! While we really don't find a plethora of Ravenclaws, the other 3 Houses abound. In an uncharacteristic manner, Chris wants to force characters into neat little boxes while Brittany enjoys being more open. (Yes, we can still surprise you after all these months.)

39 - Privilege in The Hunger Games
June 06, 2019 02:23 - 38 minutes - 29.2 MBThis week we look at privilege in The Hunger Games, while trying not to step too far into our future themes like race, gender, and ability. We discuss Finnick Odair, the full Prep Team, missed opportunities for intersectionalality, and even areas that Katniss has privilege compared to many others.

38 - Courage in Lord of the Rings
May 30, 2019 00:53 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBIn this week's episode, we look to the hobbits for beautiful examples of courage. We also spend time discussing smaller acts of courage throughout the series and don't quite agree on if Gollum showed courage by leaving the Misty Mountains to seek the Ring that Bilbo took. It's good to note that by the end of the episode, Chris admits that he's a coward and wishes that the epic warriors in the Fellowship had revealed more of their own fears along the way. If you enjoy this episode, conside...

37 - Friendship in Harry Potter
May 23, 2019 06:14 - 39 minutes - 29.5 MBThis week we enjoy diving into all kinds of friendships in the Harry Potter books and look at Luna, Hermione, Harry, Dobby, 'The Marauders', and even Fleur! From powerful to disappointing, adorable, enabling, and life-saving, we praise and critique so many kinds of HP friendships. And while Chris misinterprets Brittany's words to mean she likes James Potter, she ultimately sets Chris right during this episode's takeaways.

36 - Defiance in Star Wars
May 15, 2019 20:37 - 34 minutes - 26.6 MBThis week, we touch on the originals, prequels, sequels, and even the Solo movie! We discuss Luke's use of (and failure at) nonviolence to defy Palpatine, ponder the difference between defiance and rebellion, wish the series went more into defiance among the Sith, and basically find that everything comes a bit up short in comparison with the brilliance of Princess Leia.

35 - Fear in The Last Aibender & Legend of Korra
May 02, 2019 06:09 - 36 minutes - 28.3 MBThis week, we look at ATLA and LOK through the theme of fear. We think about how the nature of fear as a motivator changes each season in Korra, wonder if the Avatar state renders its user fearless, discuss how the rulers and the ruled in ALTA experience fear, and make up a great new hashtag.

34 - Nationalism in The Hunger Games
April 24, 2019 02:19 - 34 minutes - 26.3 MBThis week, we look at nationalism in The Hunger Games trilogy, and of course Brittany brings up how the old white male president is the perfect symbol for nationalism and imperialism. We also think a lot about what made certain districts exhibit nationalism vs revolution, and wish the books addressed international applications a little more overtly. (Let's face it, the U.S. is the Capitol after all.) To get the sources we mention in the episode (and learn how optimistic Brittany's doom stat...
33 - Gender in The Lord of the Rings
April 17, 2019 06:03 - 36 minutes - 28.3 MBThis week, we finally get to analyze LOTR through the theme of gender! We obviously talk about Éowyn a whole lot, geekily critique representation, look at Sam and Frodo's relationship, and realize that a character is essentially #killedbytoxicmasculinity. Unsurprisingly, Chris makes use of his grad school classes yet again while Brittany uses host of sarcastic tones and air-quotes.

32 - Shame in Harry Potter
April 11, 2019 03:28 - 36 minutes - 28 MBIn this week’s episode, we look at how several beloved characters interact with shame very differently - from Neville Longbottom to Severus Snape, Ron Weasley, Book 5 CAPS LOCK Harry, and the most admirable Luna Lovegood. We also analyze the function of shame in House Elf culture and wish an element of shame had been integrated into the concept of Dementors.

31 - Pride in Star Wars
March 27, 2019 20:19 - 36 minutes - 28.4 MBThis week we look at the theme of pride in our Star Wars podcast episode. We oh-so-shockingly talk a lot of about Anakin, Darth Vader, and the Sith, but look at where pride becomes a problem for the Jedi, too. Also, get ready for a mention of Boba Fett’s sick Mandalorian armor, the new trending #rhythmofpride, and Chris being too Ravenclaw to let Brittany’s jokes be jokes.

March 21, 2019 01:48 - 34 minutes - 25.4 MB“Please listen to me! We don’t have to fight. You have the power to end it here and stop what you are doing.” “You are right, I do have the power. I have all the power in the WORLD!” This week we look at the theme of Greed in our Last Airbender and Legend of Korra podcast episode. We analyze the underlying greed that various villains manifest and think about how different governments systems in each nation may or may not foster greed, all while Chris puts his grad school fascism class to g...

We take a look at the cast of characters, laugh at the film’s cleverness, celebrate the phenomenal artwork, and analyze the multiplicities found in identities, relationships, and neighborhoods throughout the movie.

February 28, 2019 00:14 - 18 minutes - 14.3 MBThis week’s Sorting Chat covers some of the characters we get to know in first Hunger Games book. It is particularly difficult for our hosts to sort some of the characters into tidy boxes, so expect a lot of dual-house sortings...and also a ton of Slytherins (because, of any Hogwarts House, they would make it past the cornicopia).

February 14, 2019 22:37 - 45 minutes - 35.3 MBThis week, we look at race in our Harry Potter podcast episode, and - wow - there’s a lot to discuss! We look at Hagrid and Maxime’s relationship, analyze motivations of the so-called Half-Blood Prince, think on the intersectionality of Hermione as a young black girl, and unsurprisingly critique several things about representation throughout the series. #representationmatters There’s so much more on race in HP and we are in no way experts, so please share your thoughts with us!

December 05, 2018 20:41 - 37 minutes - 28.4 MBThis week we’re back on our normal rotation and discuss death in our Hunger Games episode (a topic we really had to wrack our brains to find). We touch on the different kinds of death Katniss experiences, which character death hit us the hardest, the multi-functional role of death in the games themselves, and – believe it or not - even find a couple missed opportunities.
