Introduction Christopher Columbus: Hero, brutal conqueror, or both? Today we look at Columbus, and a lot more; statues, movies, and teaching American History. This is an exercise in seeing ourselves and others as we and they really are. Isn’t that kind of honesty fundamental to any kind of development; individual, societal, financial, physical or spiritual? That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode.  Continuing The 1969 movie “Goodbye Columbus”, adapted from a Philip Roth novel of the same name, focuses on the differences in the main characters in this boy meets girl story. We are looking at the differences between those of us who want to remember and learn from, grow from, our past as it truly was, the warts and the horrors along with the heroic and miraculous, and those of us who want to denounce and erase everyone and everything that does not meet their current standards of approval. Much has been written and said about various statutes, and we’ll get to those. But let's start with a couple of movies; one very recent, and another older, made in the glory days of the big Hollywood studios. “The Help” was made in 2011 and set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi. I found it difficult to watch in places, primarily because it exposed the horrific way that Black maids were treated by the middle class White housewives. I also found it hard to watch because virtually every one of the White housewives was portrayed as vapid, nearly useless in the home, and neglectful of their children. The White husbands and one boyfriend played very minor roles. The Black maids were portrayed as the heroes. The young White woman, Skeeter, displayed courage, but was shown as more of a catalyst and a woman coming of age than a heroine.  It was not a well made movie, nor was there much of an effort to show any kind of balance. But it does the needed work of shining a harsh light on a part of American life that we all need to see, understand, remember and correct. But there are voices demanding a different response, a different kind of imbalance. Here’s Natasha Reda writing for Glamour, “A lot of people are watching The Help right now. In fact, according to Entertainment Weekly, the 2011 film is the most-viewed movie on Netflix amid nationwide Black Lives Matter protests...Well, the film was written and directed by a white man, based on a novel by a white woman, and centers the story around white people—particularly Stone’s character (Skeeter), who is a prime example of a white savior. It’s understandable that many Twitter users have slammed The Help as a tool to educate yourself about systemic racism in this country, especially when the streaming service and other platforms offer better options by Black filmmakers.” Here is a representative quote from the review by Kim Renfro at Insider.com, “The 'white savior' trope is tiring, and it's also counter-productive to real change when it comes to systemic racism.” And another voice, “I beg of you: stop watching The Help, it will not make you better at facing your privilege or whatever,” Elamin Abdelmahmoud posted on Twitter.  In other words, these people are saying the movie does not deal with the American Black history in exactly the way they believe it should, so don’t watch it. You might develop incorrect thoughts, and we can’t have that. Fact check: The movie made it clear the real hero was the Black maid, Aibileen, played by Viola Davis. Skeeter’s privilege (the young white writer) was slight at best. She was a recent college graduate living at home, and had to scramble to get a low paying job writing a cleaning advice column for the local paper. She had a strained relationship with her Mom, and apparently no relationship with her Dad.   The 1939 Academy Award winning movie “Gone With The Wind” portrayed a deeply false and romanticized version of plantation life pre Civil War. Anyone who has seen that movie and knew nothing else about slavery would have come away belie...

Game of Thrones Season 8 is almost here! Game of Thrones Season 8 trailer was released just a few days ago and in this video I will go over the Season 8 trailer. I look at the three topics that intrigued me the most. How Bran and Arya will impact the War against the White Walkers, the dragons Drogon and Rhaegal flying off to who knows where, and the return of the pieces of Ned Stark's sword Ice to Winterfell in the swords Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail wielded by Jaime and Brienne. See how there maybe more dragons coming than we realized, how the ancestral sword of House Stark may be reforged, and how the humans can actually beat the White Walkers in this final season of Game of Thrones.

We’re back with a super-sized wrap up episode for our coverage of our new book, Gods of Thrones, as well as putting George’s Fire & Blood to bed as we consider the final third of the book, starting with “The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant”. Anthony and I get things kicked off with a discussion of Lord Cregan Stark and his “Hour of the Wolf”. Then I welcome our old pal Kim Renfro (follow her on Twitter!) back to discuss women in Westeros, our theories on Game of Thrones and GRRM himself. Finally, I interview illustrator Chase Stone, who did the cover and interior art for Gods of Thrones, about life as a professional artist, his work on Magic: The Gathering and The World of Ice and Fire, as well as his influences and techniques. Finally, we wrap up with a mammoth edition of feedback! As always, you can purchase our book, Gods of Thrones on Amazon!  It’s available in book and paperback editions!

In a bonus wrap up SpoiLore episode for Game of Thrones season 7, A.Ron is joined by Kim Renfro, Senior Culture Writer for INSIDER, to discuss our thoughts on season 7 as a whole, leaks, how production spoilers impacted our coverage of this season, and what we think about the far off season 8.  Be warned, at the very end of the episode we do dish a bit on the last remaining unconfirmed leak for this season, which may come up next time.  If you’re a serious spoiler-phobe, make sure you shut off the pod when we get to that point.  If you need more Kim in your life, check out her podcast series, Showrunners, or follow her on Twitter.  Our regular edition of SpoiLore will be out tomorrow!
