Previous Episode: Ep. 16: 'The Little Things' impresses only the Golden Globes, $GME goes to the moon (and back again)

Next Episode: Ep. 18: 'Framing Britney Spears' (#FreeBritney), Kanye West, and our disgusting obsession with the celebrity meltdown

To start, we discuss how recent events feel in 2021 as we continue through this period of pandemic response and social activism, both still being addressed culturally and politically. What's the impact of corporate marketing using both the pandemic and Black activism to sell products? Then, we briefly discuss Gina Carano's firing from 'The Mandalorian' (BYE!). Plus, a lengthy discussion on the value of a show like 'WandaVision,' which has its own style, but not its own purpose.

Hosted by Zack Miller and Stephen Williams
