As we near the end of Phase Two, it's time to bid adieu to Joss Whedon's contributions, both good and bad to the MCU with Avengers: Age of Ultron. Sarah and Pat discuss why Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s role in the opening is both necessary and unnecessary; where they think the Barton farm might be located and why this film is a CHORE to get through.

Everyday Black men and women endure racial discrimination, prejudice, injustice, and oppression. Racism is a national crisis and has been since America’s founding. Reading the recent stories of George Flyod and Breonna Taylor, who are among thousands of other Black people victim of police brutality is upsetting and disheartening. I’ve thought very hard about how to approach this week’s episode, while also being conscious of my privilege. In this week’s episode I hope to continue a broader discussion of racial inequality in this country.

Eric was one of the 70-odd protesters who found refuge in Rahul Dubey's home on Swann St. in DC after the police trapped them and began to arrest for "violating" curfew. He joins Chris to recount what happened during the day, night, and following morning of that extraordinary event that not only showed the lengths to which the police are going to stamp out these protests, but also how united the people are in pushing forward.

We thought the world had already hit rock bottom when we took a week off. We're back to give our take on the current state of affairs related to protests around the country demanding justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other victims. DISCLAIMER: We endeavored to approach this week's discussion as allies, and do not claim to have all the answers. For rounded coverage from our black brothers and sisters, we recommend Code Switch (https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/) , The Breakfast Club (https://www.youtube.com/user/breakfastclubpowerfm/videos) , Jamele Hill is Unbothered (https://open.spotify.com/show/1SXD1U55jqbK9HHoPvdbsw) , 'Black Trauma And Showing Up At Work (https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/05/9841376/black-trauma-george-floyd-dear-white-people) ', and 'Okay, white people, here's what you can do now (https://www.al.com/opinion/2020/05/johnson-okay-white-people-heres-what-you-can-do-now.html) .' Andrew discovers quarantine birthdays suck, Lady Gaga drops 'Chromatica,' and John Krasinski can go to hell. Pam gives her review of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and her take on whether this is a compelling addition to the Hunger Games universe. This week in Corona: U.S. deaths have surpassed 100,000, and we're disgusted by the lack of national mourning. Theme parks won't let that stop them, though - Disney and Universal are set to re-open with strict social distancing and masking guidelines. We react to the horrific murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and give our take on the protests happening across the country. While the media selectively portrays the protests as violent, they seem to be missing the point: there are tanks in our streets, tear gas and rubber bullets flying. How the fuck did anyone think that would have a positive outcome?

We do what you'd normally expect from a mini episode, setting up the next film we'll be talking about on the show, but first we want to make it explicitly clear where we stand on everything that is happening around the country right now: Black Lives Matter.

In which I tell stories from past jobs I've had. On a more important note, I hope that people like me remember that this week is not the only time they will raise their voices for others. I hope that we remember that this is an ongoing issue every day, and it has been ongoing for a LONG TIME. Most acts of racism and prejudice are not documented, and we need to remember this fact. White people, we need to do more than we have been, and if you didn’t realize that before, I hope that this movement has taught you to reconsider. Feel free to correct me if anything I said in the podcast needs correcting.

Are you there Cher? It's us: Sarah, Kelsi and Jinger. We're talking about Judy Blume's seminal classic coming-of-age- story Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. We talk the lasting legacy of this, what it's like to grow up NOT reading this book, the truly controversial stuff about this book (spoiler: it's NOT the menstruation stuff!), and the stigma of women's health that needs to end. We also discuss the portrayal of black women in media and why society needs to do better. Give us a listen and a like please!

Friday Reading Series: Elaine Kahn With Coco Gordon Moore & Bridget Talone— February 21st, 2020 Hosted by Laura Henriksen. Join us for the New York City launch of Elaine Kahn's latest book Romance or The End (Softskull Press, 2020). In this highly anticipated collection of chaotic and gutting love, Kahn frays the literary membrane between narrative and self to give us this magnetic work of seduction, contortion, and repulsion. Elaine Kahn will be joined by Coco Gordon Moore and Bridget Talone. Elaine Kahn is the author of Romance or The End (Soft Skull, 2020) and Women in Public (City Lights Publishers, 2015). Her writing has appeared in Frieze, The Brooklyn Rail, jubilat, Poetry Foundation, Art Papers, and elsewhere. She received an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and teaches at the Poetry Field School. She lives in Los Angeles, California. Coco Gordon Moore is a visual artist and poet. She is the author of "A Sketch of Romance" and "Today I Hate The Sun". The proceeds from her latest chapbook went to The Brooklyn Community Bail Fund and her upcoming book will help aid Red Dot Campaign; a non profit working to destigmatize the period as well as collecting tampons and pads for shelters and underfunded schools. Last year Gordon Moore put together a group show at Reena Spauings gallery in efforts of creating a space of affordable art and working to raise money and awareness for the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund. She continues to try and find ways to use art as a tool for reparations. Bridget Talone is the author of The Soft Life and lives in Philadelphia. Recent work has appeared in A Perfect Vacuum, Pouch Mag, and Elderly.

You have the right to legal representation in a criminal matter but there is no guarantee that representation will have the resources and the access to represent you well. L. Joy brings Scott Hechinger to the front of the class to discuss the role public defenders play in our justice system and you will learn its not all Law & Order promised us. #FirstCivicAction Scott Hechinger’s #FirstCivicAction happened when he was eight years old. His grandfather ran for office and he went with him canvassing door to door in their district. Our Guest: Scott Hechinger is Senior Staff Attorney and Director of Policy at Brooklyn Defender Services (BDS), a public defense firm representing about half of all those arrested in Brooklyn each year, Scott bridges the divide between practice and policy. As a Senior Staff Attorney, he has represented thousands of low-income individuals accused of crimes ranging from low-level misdemeanors to the most serious felonies, from arraignment to trial, in and outside of court. As Director of Policy, he's leveraged his experience in court to lead criminal justice reform efforts outside of it on a range of issues, including immigration law and policy, pretrial detention, marijuana legalization, prosecutor accountability, and mandatory minimums. Scott co-founded the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, wrote the short film "Perpetual Punishment," conceptualized and launched the "Power of Prosecutors" media advocacy project, and most recently, co-directed, produced, and wrote the "We Have Rights" immigrant empowerment campaign. His work and commentary has been widely featured, including in the New York Times, New York Times Magazine, Washington Post, The Atlantic, NPR, Village Voice, Huffington Post, VICE, Slate, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and Al Jazeera.

Pre-trial cash bail predates pretty much every legal convention in our system, and yet persists because Americans love punishing each other and have even less creativity than empathy. Rachel Foran, Managing Director at the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, takes us through the crisis that is the cash bail system, and introduces us to the term “abolition” as referring to the ultimate end of our prison system.

If you like the tunes, definitely go cop the compilation over at: http://physicallysick2.bandcamp.com . it's pay-what-you-want but all proceeds go to the Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, an organization that bails people out of jail that are victims of discrimination in policing. kick them a few bucks!
