Podcasts about problematic faves

Whether it's a husky-voiced puppet master creeping on his unrequited love's daughter or a charming '60s romantic comedy that also happens to periodically feature a ghoulish yellow-face caricature of a Japanese man, we've all got faves that simultaneously have some deep-seated issues. Listen in with Leigh, Brendan, and Chris as we discuss some of our own, be they characters with their own gross issues or movies that have aspects which have aged like a fine milk. Also, our summer of Failed Franchises continues unabated with our next episode, a long-gestating adaptation of a middle schooler book that surely seemed like a safe bet at one point, and the accompanying drink that will make the whole ordeal go down (mildly) easier.

Pop Culture Pastor takes a hilarious and eye-opening journey down memory lane in our latest episode!

Spring Break may have delayed this upload, but our discussion has remained relevant! We're just a few months into the new year and we have already heard so many chaotic stories. Let's talk about the truth tellers who some may see as heroes, and the villians they have exposed.

Intellectual expansion! Youthful passion! Exploited innocence! Genius writer, musician, and professional flame-throwing shit-starter Meredith Yayanos, comes on to talk about their problematic fave: Liberal Arts Education. What does college MEAN in the social imaginary? What did it mean to us? Cronyism, elitism, pranks, nubility, narcissistic faculty, racism, classism, date rape, Jeffrey Epstein, the hangover of … Continue reading "Problematic Faves: Liberal Arts Education (with Meredith Yayanos!)"

This week, Taryn is joined by Ruth Etiesit Samuel to discuss how we deal when the artists we love do problematic things, and the effect that "stan culture" and "cancel culture" have changed our relationship with celebrities. But first, Taryn breaks down the news of the week, from the stories that make us say "I know that's right" to the ones that make us say "hell no".Follow Taryn: @_TARYNitUP Hosted on Acast.

We're all guilty of loving problematic faves. Is it still OK to read Harry Potter or watch Woody Allen movies? How do you reconcile your love for murky pop culture with the ethics of being a good person?In this special episode, Benjamin Law and Wenlei Ma confess to their problematic faves and attempt to determine whether it's still OK to declare their loyalty to them or if it's something to be disavowed.We also chat to Karyn Moynihan and Anna Carey about Double Love, a podcast which recaps and re-litigates the blockbuster 1980s teen publishing phenomenon, Sweet Valley High.

The three of us talk problematic faves, guilty pleasures, comfort food (literal and metaphorical), and the dangers of nostalgia. We focus on thinkers who have been crucial to our own intellectual formation – and who have likewise been meaningful to so many people who have turned to psychoanalysis for answers and ideas.

When we put out the call for Problematic Faves, *multiple* listeners asked us to break down John Carpenter's 1980s cult fave. Can the history of American Chinatowns help us unpack the ongoing appeal of this dated flick? Why does this movie inspire so much DENIAL about how it traffics in the worst Yellow Peril stereotypes?

Crazy Rich Asians. This 2018 blockbuster is, in the words of director Jon M Chu, “not a movie. It’s a movement.” So many of us diasporic Asians flocked to cinemas to watch this film.

This week Anna jumped on Skype with the critically-acclaimed writer Nikesh Shukla.  Nikesh has four novels under his belt at this point, having released his third, The One Who Wrote Destiny, in April and his fourth, a YA novel called Run, Riot this summer! He's also the editor of the hugely successful essay collection The Good Immigrant.  Nikesh chats to Anna about how we can navigate pop culture when our faves keep being outed as problematic, how hip-hop influenced his school days, and how to deal with rejection.  Listen via your favourite podcast provider.   

I dette afsnit kommer vi ind på nogle af de ting, vi egentligt ikke ‘burde' gøre/se/købe ind. Det er mig, Naima, der har valgt dagens tema, og jeg føler, at næsten alt jeg elsker som en sort kvinde er problematiske. Som en woke, dannet, sort kvinde der gør sit for mere repræsentation i mediebilledet og generelt, gør jeg nogle ting/handler visse steder/ser visse film/hører specifik musik, der er problematisk eller måske ikke hænger sammen med min ‘wokeness'. (Må man godt sige det om sig selv?)En af de store “problematic faves” er det kommende royale bryllup mellem Prins Harry og Meghan Markle. Siden det blev annonceret har jeg fortalt pigerne, at vi var nødt til at tale om det. Vi er mildest ikke enige.Men hey, giv det et lyt og husk, at det er en ‘no shade space' her, så del endelig med os, hvad dine problematic faves er.Vi elsker at høre fra jer og I kan regne med, at vi altid skriver tilbage.Og nå ja, giv os en anmeldelse, så endnu flere kan finde os. Husk at abonnér lige her og fortæl alle dine venner, naboer, kollegaer og fremmede om os. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Lita and Zee join Enthusiasm Girl to talk about what it means and how it's perceived in fandom when you write or read about villains or morally grey characters. Some fans are in it for the redemption, others for the whump, while others come to it purely for the wrongbad dynamics. But no matter where the impulse comes from, we dig into why there's nothing wrong with it, the implications of defining it as "problematic" or feeling the need to call ourselves trash for liking it, and why villains are just as important and necessary as heroes both in fandom and in the stories we love.
