Hello fellow fanboys and fangirls. In the world of fandom, this week had some highs & lows. Adam Lance Garcia joins FANGIRL FORUM for an unplanned yet necessary discussion about recent news regarding Joss Whedon and Gina Carano; we also talk about how we as fans respond & engage in the tension while finding hope in the midst of darkness. On a lighter note, Adam & I review the first half of WandaVision. Plus, Adam gives a crash course in Doctor Who 101 for a first-time viewer and shares his latest prank on YouTube's Patrick H. Willems. Stick with the heavy discussion and find the hope: listen now! **Disclaimer: When the recording finished, it was announced minutes later that Gina Carano is no longer employed by Lucasfilm. In a statement made: "Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.” ***This episode only scratches the deep rooted problems in entertainment industry and the world around us. FANGIRL FORUM doesn't have the answers nor claims to have everything figured out in this episode, but I think having this conversation is a step in the right direction. The work is far from done, and there was/is so much more to be heard, taught, & shared.

Of the many films to be delayed due to the current calamity of the pandemic, one whose absence is felt most profoundly is The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson's tenth film.

Just when I thought the pandemic took out this podcast, Taylor Swift drops a new album and brings the FANGIRL FORUM out of its coronavirus slumber! My friend, Jasmine Carr, is back to review & break down Taylor Swift's eighth album, folklore. Plus, we rank all of Taylor's albums so far. Where does folklore rank? Which albums top our lists? There's only one way to find out. Wrap yourself up in your favorite cardigan and let's get back to doing what we do best: fangirling! At FANGIRL FORUM, Black lives matter and so does mental health. Therapy for Black Girls is a space that was developed to present mental health topics in a way that feels more accessible and relevant when so often the stigma surrounding mental health issues and therapy prevents Black women from taking the step of seeing a therapist. Please check out https://therapyforblackgirls.com/ how you can help support the work they encourage mental wellness to Black women & girls. **Disclaimer: Throughout the episode, Taylor Swift's collaborator on folklore, The National's Aaron Dessner, is mentioned a few times. Unfortunately after recording, I realized I said Dressner instead of Dessner. This was a mistake. I mean no disrespect to Aaron Dessner. I think he and The National are amazing. Seriously, their album is High Violet is a work of art. Follow Meredith on Twitter/Instagram: @MeredithLoftus Don't forget to subscribe, rate, comment, and share with the masses!
