Podcasts about pop culture case study

Thirty years of America feeling the same way as Jerry Seinfeld about Bobcat Goldthwait. SHAKES THE CLOWN presented what we presumed to be a can't miss viable piece of cinema for a gap week in 1992 because it presented one thing we hate (clowns) with one thing we love (alcoholism) and by the end of the episode we may have found a cure for alcoholics. Watch this movie. Enjoy! Or Don't! Presented by Pop Culture Case Study.

2017 is winding down and we continue our exploration of the most highly regarded films of the year. This week we tackle the critically acclaimed love story from Luca Guadagnino, Call Me by Your Name. Guadagnino gets a world class performance from Timothée Chalamet that has the critics and fans frothing at the mouth with excitement. To help us wade through the oceans of praise, we are joined by the apricot of our eye, David Hart, of Mark As Played, The Grand Gesture, and Pop Culture Case Study.

This week, Dave of POP CULTURE CASE STUDY and Jairo of THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST do their best to help a relatively unknown actor take his career to super stardom. Inspired by the conversations on THE HAROLD & MAUDECAST and SPOILERAMA podcasts, Jairo and Dave discuss THE SNOWMAN and Michael Fassbender's search for stardom.   Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @markasplayedpod Theme music by Josh Nolan 'til the Words Run Out from the album Fair City Lights    

On HAPPY DEATH DAY we celebrate our previous failures (or the rare successes) in film discourse by checking out a couple of other movies podcasts giving cinema a second chance. THE POPCORN MUNCHER evaluate BLADE RUNNER 2049 and re-evaluate the original film and if they can separate the two as an individual work, while the hosts over at EX RATED have hopes that history will treat SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD with more kindness than its initial response. So join your hosts Michael Denniston of PROJECTING FILM and David Hart of POP CULTURE CASE STUDY as they discuss films that they have aged better or worse with the common thread that it is always our fault and never the filmmaker. Films discussed by our hosts coming to terms with their own idiocy: BOYHOOD CARRIE MISERY HIGH FIDELITY MY COUSIN VINNY Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @markasplayedpod Theme music by Josh Nolan 'til the Words Run Out from the album Fair City Lights

Two weeks in a row we have Dave Hart of Pop Culture Case Study to help us figure out our fixation with WONDER WOMAN, other than the fact that it's a very likable movie. We compare that summer crowd pleaser to the crowded love story in the new release PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN. This discussion focuses on the origin of this iconic superhero character and how that has shifted over time, but more importantly if it shifts our opinion of the character as seen in the Patty Jenkins film. Also because we can't behave ourselves, we pitch a sequel with Chris Pine flying the invisible jet in a very special way.

For our episode celebrating the release of BLADE RUNNER 2049, the sequel to the classic Ridley Scott sci-fi film, we debate the big questions. Not if Deckard is a replicant, but just who thought that this film was going to be a big box office success? Certainly not our guest, Dave of POP CULTURE CASE STUDY, who gives one super fan's response to this universe's continuation. Meanwhile our host Mike continues to lament not the darkness of this particular sci-fi world, but the fact that this visual feast of a movie looks much better on his iPhone than his local theater.

On this episode Andrew of AB FILM REVIEW and Michael of PROJECTING FILM try to heal the divide on Film Twitter with an episode on the charming MOTHER! and light hearted A GHOST STORY. To do so we highlight some of the great discussion currently being had on other movie podcasts POP CULTURE CASE STUDY and THE FINAL CUT in regards to these divisive films and the debate they encourage among cinephiles. As with everything else on the internet, this debate remains polite, engaging, and we reserve our insults for those that can't talk back. But if you would like to talk back, here we are!

We're back in the cozy confines of True Bromance HQ and ushering in the fall with the latest from Matthew Vaughn. Dave of The Pop Culture Case Study and The Grand Gesture is also back with us to help us discuss Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Can Taron Egerton, Mark Strong and Colin Firth recapture the magic of the original film or is this another cash in with little to offer its audience? MOVIES DISCUSSED THIS WEEK: Mother!, Saw, American Assassin, How To Be A Latin Lover, No Escape, Wilson, Greenberg, Personal Shopper, Guilty By Suspicion, The Mummy, Kingsman: The Golden Circle Give us a review on iTunes...even if you don't listen...please.

This week has a different feel as we stitch together content to appease the throngs of listeners that DEMAND that they get their fix of the True Bromance Film Podcast. We are short one of our cohosts but make up for it be recruiting two of the most rabid members of the True Bromance fan club to fill the void. Will of Exploding Helicopter joins Jairo to discuss the Charlize Theron and James McAvoy action flick, Atomic Blonde and Dave of Pop Culture Case Study and The Grand Gesture joins Jairo to provide deep analysis of the Anne Hathaway monster movie, Colossal.

For our second episode we discuss new release NOBODY'S WATCHING from Argentinian filmmaker Julia Solomonoff. This story of purposeful isolation which complicates creative pursuits not only describes our feeling of starting a new movie podcast after some minor success with a previous show but also inspires just a bit less navelgazing with a discussion on some previous like-minded films. In both Terry Zwigoff's GHOST WORLD and Chrick Rock's TOP FIVE we find lead characters passionate about art but who approach these endeavors with the precision and grace of a sledgehammer. A teenage girl who has just graduated (almost) high school struggles with moving on while still making discoveries in her small town meets a succesfull New York comedian adjusting to being engaged with and commenting on the world sober. Join us as we continue to adjust to this new podcast as we attempt to engage you with current independent cinema by referencing as many movies as we can in 40 minutes! GUEST: Dave Hart of Pop Culture Case Study stops by to give his reaction and projected film to the trailer for NOBODY'S WATCHING. Hint: it's just an excuse to think of Michael Fassbender in the buff.

Ann Turner's 1989 horror/drama Celia is a film that has almost been lost to time. It's a powerful film that stars Rebecca Smart in the titular role of Celia, a young girl who is questioning her place in the world after the death of her grandmother. Touching on themes of communism, politics and the desire to own a rabbit, Celia is a brilliant film that is crying out for rediscovery. With thanks to guest hosts David Hart from Pop Culture Case Study and Anya Novak from AnyaWrites.com and Daily Grindhouse, the film is covered in great detail. Even if you haven't seen the film, I highly recommend giving this one a listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oh hey! Gay icon, horror masterwork, AACTA award winning film The Babadook finally gets its due with a maxed out, two hour long episode which discusses Jennifer Kent's film in all the depth it requires. The main discussion was recorded after the internet deemed the top hat wearing figure that is the Babadook was a gay icon, so unfortunately we don't touch on that too much - but, there is still a Ru Paul's Drag Race clip though. As if talking about The Babadook longer than its own running time wasn't enough, there's a very short bonus discussion about Cate Shortland's Berlin Syndrome.  The Polygon article on how the Babadook became a gay icon can be read here.  Dave's great show Pop Culture Case Study can be listened to here, and the essential episode on Patty Jenkin's Monster can be heard here.  Support us on Patreon here Become a Patron!

The run of franchise films continues as Ridley Scott assembles another human buffet for his beloved xenomorphs in Alien: Covenant. To help us discuss this film, we're joined by #TheGrendel, also known as Dave from Pop Culture Case Study.

For episode 300 we did not select that particular Zack Snyder "classic" but we do have a number of guests doing their best readings from that film. Dwight of The Broken Brain, Dave of Pop Culture Case Study, Jairo of The True Bromance Film Podcast, Jason of Atlantic Screen Connection, Kevin of Cinema Geeks, Daniel of Get Reel Movies, and Jess & Non of Joy Sandwich are all here to blot out the podcast sun as we debate Our Future Identity as seen in new release THE CIRCLE. This disappointment leads us to look back at alternate futures in Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL and Richard Linklater's A SCANNER DARKLY. All of this and a debate on the future of cinema, Netflix, Marvel, podcasting, and the very nature of good and evil as seen in our hosts Chris and Mike. A breezy podcast listen all around. Thanks supporting any of the first 300 episodes, we promise at least two more.

We had to do it before we reached episode 300, otherwise we just wouldn't have the respect of our listeners if we didn't tackle the greatest question every filmgoer has these days... just why does everyone hate Katherine Heigl? To answer that question, Dave of Pop Culture Case Study discusses the arc of this leading lady's career from a budding romcom star trying to finally be the bride 27 DRESSES to the cold, controlling wife in HOME SWEET HELL. All of this and the new release UNFORGETTABLE which is here to keep Hollywood in business in between the latest FAST & THE FURIOUS and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

To help us recall our best Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp quotes, Dave of Pop Culture Case Study, is joining us again.

For this week's main review, we are joined by David Hart who does the podcast Pop Culture Case Study as he and I discuss one of the worst films of the year, "The Snowman" starring Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Val Kilmer & J.K. Simmons. This is from the same director (Tomas Alfredson) who gave us "Let The Right One In" and "Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy" and even he has distanced himself from the film. Never a good sign. Take a listen as we sharpen our knives for this one. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Well, it's finally here.  Our 2nd Annual Pop Culture Case Study Awards.  As all podcasters seem to think that the Oscars get it wrong, EVERY SINGLE YEAR, I have gathered all of them here to make their own choices!   This year, instead of numerous guests, Mike and I talk about all 7 categories, and the result is that our awards show, unlike many others, is about an hour long.     We discuss snubs, awards for the major categories, and 2016 as a whole.  Enjoy!     Subscribe on iTunes! ----Make sure to rate and review!

For new release 20th CENTURY WOMEN we take a closer look at Annette Bening's career (something the Academy should have done) by discussing a double feature where this great actress takes on the challenges of motherhood. In Stephen Frears' THE GRIFTERS Bening must deal with Anjelica Huston blocking her con artist plans for Huston's son played by John Cusack. And in THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT Bening herself finds her relationship with Julianne Moore challenged when Mark Ruffalo becomes a complicated third party to their non-traditional family. For these films on two people battling for the love of others I invite on returning guests Dave Hart of Pop Culture Case Study and Dwight Hurst of The Broken Brain to battle for mine.

Inspired by one of this year's Best Picture frontrunners MANCHESTER BY THE SEA we track down the other brothers in HUD and RAIN MAN for perhaps the biggest battle in War Machine vs. War Horse history: Paul Newman vs. Tom Cruise. From the podcast Pop Culture Case Study, Dave Hart helps us diagnose the black sheep of these respective film families while hosts Ben Zuk and Michael Denniston debate the likeability of gingers on screen.

We're back with the first sci-fi film of the podcast, Alex Proyas' Dark City. Conceived before Proyas directed The Crow, Dark City is an impressive science fiction film that presents an ever shifting world with some great set design. In the introduction of the episode, we ask, 'what exactly is an Australian film?' Andrew is joined by David Hart from Pop Culture Case Study to discuss the film in depth.

On this episode we discuss vulnerability in male sexuality with David Hart of Pop Culture Case Study. To do so, we reveal our own hopes, dreams, and desires such as the goal line stand of Jack Nicholson's hairline in CARNAL KNOWLEDGE. Or our innermost fears such as an inability to speak Spanish on a road trip with friends in Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN. All of that and a look at a frontrunner in 2016's Best Picture race with MOONLIGHT. Also: Our Oscars expert Ben Zuk blindly predicts the Academy Awards, and our host Mike struggles to name ten good movies.

For an episode that confronts the domestic terror that is Dakota Fanning we need three guests. Ben Zuk and David Hart of Pop Culture Case Study discuss new release AMERICAN PASTORAL which inspires a look back at Steven Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS and Kelly Reichardt's NIGHT MOVES with Andrew Pierce of AB Film Review and The Last New Wave. Do we prefer Dakota young, innocent, and running from an alien invasion with expert runner Tom Cruise OR plotting with Jesse Eisenberg on nefarious uses for fertilizer? Find out in this episode and also... Andrew speaks with great authority on the DVD black market in Thailand.

An early favorite for Best Picture, Birth of a Nation has taken a heavy beating because of Nate Parker's past.

It's finally here. The first episode of our Lost rewatch. These episodes will not be on the Common Room feed starting with the second episode. Frequency: twice a month. Format: Introduction of guests: First timer: Debbie of The Geeky Twin or Rewatchers: Dave of Pop Culture Case Study and Hadas (that's me!). Recap of the episode: In the pilot, we meet just a few characters but see glimpses of the larger ensemble cast. All we know is that Oceanic Flight 816 crash landed on an island. The pilot was off course and wasn't able to alert the base. There's an ominous distress recording made by a French woman. She says it killed them all and she's all alone. It's been looping for 16 years. Themes We Discuss: Characterization of Women: Sun, Kate, Claire, and Shannon are 4 distinct personalities. Yet Kate is slightly a different breed in these first two episodes. Many people I know seem to hate Kate. Do you know why? Characterization of Sayid: This is a post 9/11 show. Casting brown people as terrorists is an easy and popular thing, yet the character of Sayid is granted depth and easy likeability. Leadership: Who makes a good one? Why? This will be a running theme on our rewatch. And so we begin. No need to be afraid of spoilers. They're at the end! Want to be on the show? You can! Just email me hello@comrom.co and/or join the Facebook group Common Room Lost Rewatch. Never podcasted before? No problem! I'll teach ya. Enjoy and namaste. Hadas For SPOILERS, head to page 2 on the site!

It's time for another installment of Bromancing the Classics and this time we're going back to 1986 and checking out the Best Picture winner from Oliver Stone, Platoon. Dave of the Pop Culture Case Study is joining us to analyze the duality of Charlie Sheen as embodied by Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen. Dave also sticks around to help us figure out if Matthew McConaughey is the right man for the job of buoying the Civil War era picture, The Free State of Jones.

Happy Father's Day from the Broken Brain!  Dave Hart from Pop Culture Case Study returns to talk with me about being a dude. We discuss the complex psychological issues inherent to being a man in our culture, and our impressions of the psychological impact of the documentary "The Mask You Live In." by the Representation Project. Check out the documentary on Netflix or Amazon, and follow their Facebook page for ongoing discussion about this important topic. Follow Dave on Twitter, and listen to his podcast people! 

Dave from Pop Culture Case Study rejoins the show to talk addiction recovery, a specialty of his.  We tackle the difficult but vital issue of building (or rebuilding) social support in sobriety maintenance. Addiction has many costs, but a big one is the damage it does to our family and friendship relations. And few things are as helpful to recovery from addiction than a healthy support system. We talk about experiments with RATS, finding new friends, repairing existing relationships, and allowing for a damaged sense of delayed gratification.  Quick links from our talk: check out Refuge Recovery, the HAMS network, and Meetup.com (or any of the social meet-up sites).  Make sure to check out Dave's show, especially his latest few episodes about The Nice Guys, and X-Men movies.

On this episode we torture our listeners by bringing back former guest Dave from the podcast Pop Culture Case Study and we also talk quite a bit about the response to torture in Kathryn Bigelow’s ZERO DARK THIRTY. That film goes up against Stanley Kubrick’s PATHS OF GLORY in a theme of characters reacting to the distance between themselves and the killings they decide on, inspired by new release EYE IN THE SKY.

On this episode, I welcome TWO guests to the show to come over and play with my dolls. In our double feature matchup, Claire from the Filmback podcast gives me advice on if I should move to Stepford where there’s something just a little off about THE STEPFORD WIVES, and also answers the pressing question of if my man crush Ryan Gosling will ever notice me after ordering a sex doll in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL. But first, regular guest Dave of Pop Culture Case Study, joins me for a pleasant surprise in this January dumping ground of cheap horror films, new release THE BOY.

On this episode we welcome guest Dave from Pop Culture Case Study for a family friendly episode on films about sex addiction. In Steve McQueen’s SHAME, Michael Fassbender plays a man with very few attachments struggling privately with sex addiction until his sister comes to stay with him and threatens exposure and intimacy that he can not bear. While in Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s film, DON JON, he plays a man attempting to have an intimate relationship that is more satisfying than his connection to Internet pornography. But first we cheat on those films by doing a mini-review on new to video SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

It's time for another BEST OF 2015 show!! We assembled another panel to judge our judging of the films of 2015 and this year we have Dan from A Tale of Two Dans, Michael of The War Machine vs. War Horse, and Dave of The Pop Culture Case Study.Give us a review on iTunes...even if you don't listen...please.

On this episode Todd Haynes' new film CAROL inspires NOT ONLY a conversation with Dave from Pop Culture Case Study on this Cate Blanchett/Rooney Mara romance, but ALSO a previous Haynes' movie in FAR FROM HEAVEN. That film was inspired by Douglas Sirk melodramas such as ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS and for that particular Julianne Moore/Jane Wyman throwdown, I bring in the only podcaster I know with a Jane Wyman calendar on his wall, Andrew of the great AB Film Review!

On this episode we are joined by Matt and Ed from the podcast Shot Reverse Shot as we attempt to win the war on drugs, by watching the reviled Steven Soderbergh movie TRAFFIC and the classic Ridley Scott film THE COUNSELOR. And yes, this is shameless trolling in the hopes that you’ll keep listening to a movie podcast on THE COUNSELOR.   But before that mess of a movie we have one of the few great films of 2015, and a conversation with Dave from Pop Culture Case Study on new release SICARIO.

On this episode we celebrate Labor Day by hitting the road with journalists developing a professional and personal relationship with their subjects. The first film is one of those that is perhaps too famous among cinephiles to talk about with any objectivity or fresh insight, Cameron Crowe’s modern classic ALMOST FAMOUS. Nevertheless guest Rod from The Listening Party podcast helps us do just that by sending the film that won Jeff Bridges an Oscar up to the War Machine Horse slaughter with CRAZY HORSE.     But first, regular collaborator and man crush, Dave from the Pop Culture Case Study podcast hits the road for new release THE END OF THE TOUR.

On this episode we are joined by Web Bist from the podcast It's Terrific in a quest to change for love. Inspired by new release PRINCE we do our selfishly romantic research by breaking out our copies of CHASING AMY and THE SHAPE OF THINGS.   Special introduction from Dave of Pop Culture Case Study who agreed to maintain our friendship by avoiding a clinical diagnosis of our love lives.  

In episode 57, Peter and Phoenix take on the 1984 sci-fi Shwarzenegger classic, The Terminator! This episode is a little more focused on Phoenix's thoughts. Gave a little shoutout to Dave of Pop Culture Case Study and the Following Films Podcast Network! Also in this episode, you hear an updated intro to the show!Outro music: Mitch Murder - The Terminator theme (Remix)

On this episode we have TWO guests as Dave from the podcast Pop Culture Case Study was kind enough to accept my collect call from the awful state of Ohio, as we did a Trainwreck mini-review on the road to finish off our Sex With Judd Apatow triple feature that includes THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN or KNOCKED UP trying to seduce my co-host Shane Conner and Megan from the Screams and Moans podcast.  

Episode 62We are joined by the good doctor, David Hart of the great show, Pop Culture Case Study, to discuss the great new Pixar film, Inside Out. We pair that discussion with a debate about the best and worst animated characters in movies. Give us a review on iTunes...even if you don't listen...please.

DAPF #62. Dark Angels & Pretty Freaks #62. We thank Jason and our listeners for putting up with a 3 hour episode, More of Neil accidentally offending neighbors, Diamond Minds & Pop Culture Case Study,  Memorial Day, Annaleis’ Curb Assault, Another small Napa earthquake and so much more!    Check out out FREE app!     www.DarkAngelsandPrettyFreaks.com

We are joined by Dave, the host of Pop Culture Case Study, one of our favorite podcasts which pairs psychology with pop culture, be it movies, music, books, tv shows, or comic books. The new movie we will be talking about in this episode is a comic book adaptation, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers Age of Ultron.   This inspires a theme of Responsibility With Robots, where we look back at the Pixar classic WALL-E, which predicts a future where robots care for and ultimately control the survival of humanity, going up against the second older film which is only a few weeks old in EX MACHINA. This movie has the responsibility for one being of artificial intelligence being shared between a mad scientist and the young man brought in to test her humanity.   Along the way we come up with the appropriate defensive porn watching tactics to use against A.I. and wonder if lovable WALL-E was involved in an abusive relationship.

In this episode we look at murder in paradise, more specifically the serial killer hunting children and being hunted himself by Tom Hardy in CHILD 44. This inspires a look back at the controversial rendering of paradise in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of THE LOVELY BONES vs. the troubling utopia portrayed in the more critically acclaimed film adaptation of NEVER LET ME GO. GUEST: None this week, but we really could have used the analysis of Dave from Pop Culture Case Study. You can correct that mistake by checking out his great podcast.  

Episode 47The week we are joined by Dave from Pop Culture Case Study (http://popculturecasestudy.com) to discuss the latest offering from Will Smith and Margot Robbie, Focus.

Catching Up: (0:22) Laura finished season 6 of Doctor Who and she loved Baby Stormaggedon. Her DVR crashed and she lost all of her fall shows, which is really sad. Her brother and his assorted kids are coming for a visit and to go to Disneyland. And she's been dying a ton to catch up after selling at a bunch of fiber festivals and for some of the Mean Girls Yarn Club. She is starting a Sunnydale Club KAL/CAL on Halloween (but it's not too late to join--details are here). And she is starting to per for Stitches West, because it's coming up faster than you would think. Jen saw Dracula Untold with Melissa and it was entertainingly bad (this recap from the Toast is better than the movie). She is planning a party for Ron's big milestone birthday and is therefore cooking all the things and shopping for all the things. She finished her cross-stitch project from Watty's Wall Stuff. She's been spinning a lot, she plied up her Knitpicks Wool of the Andes roving in Amethyst and is now spinning her Wool of the Andes Sapphire roving. The cowl pattern she did for the first Sunnydale club patrol, I Flunked the Written, is available for general sale. Flu season has her very busy with work. She is also still taking her Shakespeare class and working on one of Emilia's monologues from Othello. In the Knitting Bag: (13:20) Laura is still working on her Yggdrasil Afghan by Lisa Jacobs out of Berroco Vintage Chunky in Mocha. She's working on the first border section and it's beautiful but it's slow going. She's also working on a hat for Halos of Hope out of orange, lavender, and sienna Knitpicks Brava. And she cast on the Motoring Madness mittens by Audrey Nicklin out of some custom-dyed Dizzy Blonde DK. Jen is working on her Chickadee Cardigan by Ysolda Teague from Little Red in the City out of Quince and Co. Chickadee in Rosa Rugosa, Slate, Egret, and Lichen. She just has to knit the body to length and then do the button bands/neckband. She wants to do cross stitch buttons like Ysolda did in the book. She's hoping to have enough yarn to do a Wee Chickadee for her niece. She's also working on her Heirloom Layette Set by Kerin Dimeler-Laurence out of Cascade Heritage in Snow. She's disappointed that she hasn't had any response from Knit Picks about the error, so she's about ready to make up her own edging and call it done. But for now she is working on the sweater. She's working on her plain socks out of FabFunkyFibres 15 Coloured Rainbow self-striping yarn. She's probably going to do the afterthought heel before she's done with the foot to make the sure the foot is the right length, especially because the shallowness of the heel doesn't always fit her well. And she worked just a little bit on her Watership Down KAL Shawl out of Unique Sheep Selene in the colorway Nature Walk. Finished Objects: (21:56) Laura finished her hat for Halos of Hope out of grey and brown Knitpicks Brava. Jen finished her Dump Truck Cardigan from 60 More Quick Baby Knits out of Knit Picks Stroll Sport in a bunch of colors. And she finished her Night Blooming Shawlette for Sunnydale Yarn Club Patrol 2. The shawl is inspired by Drusilla and is currently exclusive, but will be available for purchase in 6 months. Devil's Tower (24:25) Laura has a ton of stuff (booth samples) that need a reblocking or a first blocking. Jen also has some stuff that could use a good bit of reblocking/washing. She also wove in the ends of her Playful Stripes Cardigan so she can do the buttonbands and block. We talk about reblocking and storage of pieces. Frog Pond: (27:51) Laura had to tink back a bit on the edging of her Yggdrasil due to not paying enough attention. Jen had a red wine incident with her Heirloom Baby Layette sweater. Luckily it was only one drop and it did wash out, but she really, really, really should have known better. On Deck: (31:00) Laura wants to make her same huge list and also Owl Mittens for her friend's daughter. The rest of her list includes Dreambird by Nadita Swings, Ink by Hanna Maciejewska, and a pair of Iron Man style Knitted Scale Mail Gloves by CraftyMutt for her step-granddaughter's father for Christmas. Jen wants to make he Bobble Bearded Beanie by Topsy Turvy, the Porcupine Blanket from 60 Quick Baby Knits out of Cascade 220 Superwash, another Playful Stripes Cardigan, the Baby Yours Sweater), the Hitofude Cardigan, and a CustomFit top. We mention Melissa's feature in a recent Ravelry Community Eye Candy Post and also the Yarnover Truck. Knit Culture: (37:55) October's theme was Fall/Samhain/Halloween. Prize drawing next episode. November's theme for the Stashdown is Food! Post your FOs in the thread. And we review the fantastic Sock Architecture by Lara Neel (of Math4knitters), published by Cooperative Press. We both LOVE this book and think it is a necessity for anyone who wants to knit socks. It's brilliant. And the patterns have beautiful details. We mention Cookie A and Hunter Hammerson. We also mention a new knitting podcast, Schmevelyn Wees. Geek Culture: (49:11) We mention the podcast Pop Culture Case Study, which is hosted by Dave, a friend of Miss Kalendar (who hosts the Brass Needles Podcast). He discusses movies in the context of psychology and it's really interesting and geeky and fun. We also love the fangirl fixation segment. And we fangirl about Age of Ultron trailer, Agents of SHIELD, and the upcoming Agent Peggy Carter. Events: (59:15) We were both at WeFF on November 2nd, in Torrance. Dizzy Blonde Studios was a vendor. Stitches West is February 19-22 and both Jen and Laura will be there. Laura is vending and Jen will be taking a ton of classes, but come say hi! Our next milestone prize will be at 1000 members, so join the Ravelry Group. And don’t forget to post your finished October projects in the thread! Keep stashing down!
