I've been mistaken for a man
The epic two-part saga concludes with an epic runtime, but what else can you expect when it’s finally time to dish about Spider-Man and Godzilla? Also, Barbie, Chill Kill, Blue Beetle, Killers of the Flower Moon, blaxploitation, and the worst anime of all time! What do you think? How did 2023’s entertainment stack up to previous years? … More Year End Review 2023 Part II
Taking an unorthodox approach this year, the QNA hosts are counting down 2023 entertainment from January to June. Ninja killers, zombie dramas, and grasshoppers on motorcycles, it’s been a year of surprises and high points. Low points, too! Was there a Thor: Love and Thunder of 2023? (Ancient astronaut theorists say “yes.”) … More Year End Review 2023 Part I
This week, the guys take a deep dive (short end of the pool, RIP) into Korean cancel culture, which would seem to be far more effective than America’s. Is this a good thing? … More QNA Digest: The Strange Case of Kim Sae-ron
There’s this terrible feeling that grips me any time there’s a global tragedy – “I have to say something about this. Online.” It’s almost defensive, as if failure to share my take constitutes the complicity of silence. And that’s a real thing. Or at least, it can be. … More How Do You Say Less?
For this third installment in a series that surely won’t peter out after this, we’re joined by Peter himself to discuss the crumbling state of Twitter and the large man largely responsible. … More Why Does Social Media Suck Hard with a Vengeance?
This week, Donovan and the Gang talk about growing up. It’s a largely speculative episode. Ha! In all seriousness, friends, we’re all mortal beings, and while Millennials are the main characters now, they won’t be forever. Will they instigate a generational culture war of their own, or will they be where it all stops? How do we understand the next generation and adapt to a changing world? … More How Do You Pass the Torch?
This week, Donovan and Harrison follow up on a question that’s been brewing over their coverage of police procedurals, which suck and are terrible forever and evermore amen, which is: well, if it doesn’t look like that, then what does it look like? … More How Do You Fight Crime?
On this week’s episode, Peter from Dead Times returns to discuss the slow-moving apocalypse that isn’t so much ever around the proverbial corner but upon us already, in a staggered arrival. We take turns sharing our own experiences with climate education before delving into the facts of the case, from the UN, NOAA, and the groups actively working to combat the problem. It’s a difficult conversation, and one that’s been going on at least since the 1990s. While there’s reason to be hopeful, it’s far past time we got serious about the realities. … More How Do We Fight Climate Change?
This has been a long time coming. Almost thirteen years! Blue Bloods is a CBS juggernaut that’s developed a reputation for being your grandfather’s favorite show. It’s also perfectly symbolic of everything that’s wrong with the broader police procedural genre — when it’s lucid enough to even be coherent. It may not have the on-screen violence of its neighbors, but the racism and sexism and cultural relativism is so pernicious, quietly inflecting every moment of every last godforsaken episode. … More Why is ‘Blue Bloods’ Still on TV?
