We discuss iconic and disappointing fictional moments of fridging as well as our take on the concept as a whole. Enjoy this extra long discussion before we get back to Berserk next episode! What is “fridging?” The trope, which we discuss at length in this episode, was described by Gail Simone (the comic writer who coined the term) as such:“These are superheroines who have been either depowered, raped, or cut up and stuck in the refrigerator. I know I missed a bunch. Some have been revived, even improved -- although the question remains as to why they were thrown in the wood chipper in the first place.” Link to Women In Refrigerators blog: https://lby3.com/wir/index.html  Follow us on social media and shoot us an email if you have any questions for us or ideas!

We're two friends, Cal and Chevall, who decided to start a podcast where we analyze media under a critical, appreciative lens. To start, we're reading the legendary manga Berserk together for the first time and recording our reactions, analysis and BSing about the manga from the late Kentaro Miura, who died May 6, 2021 at the age of 54. This week, Cal and Chevall talk about the Elden Ring gameplay reveal and more Soulsbourne based content before finishing the Band of the Hawk's Fight with Nosferatu Zodd after he massacred Guts' unit. Then, somehow we talk about wedding dresses Sorry for any audio issues, there was a ton of delay during the recording we tried to reduce in editing!
