Examining TV and movies through the lenses of politics and genre: its definition, its limits, and what we can learn by exploding them.
Madeline is a writer, cultural critic, and the author of 'Comedy Against Work: Utopian Longing in Dystopian Times.' Dave is a comedian and actor, who has appeared on 'This American Life' and FX's 'The Bear.' Sometimes it's just them. Sometimes they have guests. Each episode, one person chooses a tv show or movie to discuss. At the end, we do a "genre reveal" where we name the highly specific genre the movie or series belongs to, such as Meta-Clusterfuck, Child Liberationist Anti-State Vision, or Hoodiecore.
There will be spoilers, partially because it’s our goal that you don’t need to have watched the thing to enjoy the podcast.
