Two recently-turned adults discussing, discovering and reminiscing all things exciting, from Marvel fan theories to deep conversations to growing up in a brown household, in an enthralling and comedic podcast.
Is Marvel even trying anymore? With unnecessary productions like Secret Invasion and The Marvels, bad CGI in She-Hulk and Thor: Love and Thunder, and nerfed characters like Thor, Hulk, and Daredevil in She-Hulk, Marvel's future hangs in the balance. There is a glimmer of hope though if Marvel continues to work its magic in upcoming productions like it did in Spider-Man: No Way Home, GOTG3, Loki, and Moonknight. Listen to the Brown Expats as they discuss the downfall and future of Marvel.

The Brown Expats speak with author and Professor, Dr. Garry Leonard in this episode of Deep Conversations. The advancement of technology marked the shift from the age of faith to the age of science, which capitalized on these weapons and resulted in the age of consumerism. The age of consumerism is also called the age of depression because of the deleterious effects it has had on society, individuals, and relationships. The world does not seem to understand the gravity of the situation and even when they do, they are already so dependent on this lifestyle that they cannot escape the insidious cycle that will never satisfy them.

Introducing Book vs Movie; a segment where we compare a book that has been turned into a movie or vice-versa. This segment had to be started with one of the best American novels and one of Leonardo Di Caprio's best movies- THE GREAT GATSBY!!! Set in the 1920's, The Great Gatsby, is a gripping novel, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and a movie directed by the talented Baz Luhrmann, which explores moot themes such as parties, opulence, infidelity, racism, etc. The book is a tragic love story on the surface, but it's most commonly understood as a pessimistic critique of the American Dream. Excited to hear the Brown Expat's take on it?
