Omg the transphobia discussion is so upsetting. Any woman who has been punched or held up at gunpoint as a result have trained very hard to have a strong body … and can look mannish and I mean that’s the trade off for a choice to feel like you can protect yourself in a violent world. So now they attack you for looking feminine. They attack you for looking masculine. I think one of these transphobic people should challenge her to a boxing match and she can beat them to a nice squishy pulp (but remain alive bc I don’t believe in violence. Just sports.)

2024-08-12 13:01:29 +0000 UTCI like that he already said "Death" referring to the horseman only to say un-aliveness later. Behold a pale horse. And his name that sat upon him was... Unaliveness....

2024-08-11 04:49:49 +0000 UTCThere’s a black person in Reanimator that is described in horrifically racist ways. Also his famous poem “On the Origin of N-words. And he had quite a few jabs at Asian people too.

2024-08-10 22:21:32 +0000 UTCFor some reason I started thinking about the movie Munich, then I thought you gotta do a ep about movies about black opps. So far I only got that and Charlie Wilsons War. Im sure there are more.

2024-08-10 19:54:36 +0000 UTCTerfs really did listen to people saying their insane witch hunt was and is going to negatively affect any woman who doesn't conform to a fairly narrow aesthetic conceit of a white, cisgendered woman, and responded with 'ok cool, they aren't women either then'.

2024-08-10 03:05:22 +0000 UTCObviously transphobia is very very bad and it would be preferable for it to just not exist but I am not going to lie, I cannot wait for the day when the transvestigators come for JK Rowling herself. If you watch interviews about why she carries such distaste for trans women it (originally) seemed to boil down to "these MEN can't come in here and act like they're women, don't they understand how hard and shitty being a woman is?" Implying, at least on some level that she would rather be a man. She's also written under a male pseudonym. They will eventually come for her.

Andrew
2024-08-10 00:38:29 +0000 UTCI’m so glad you aren’t a sports podcast … satanic panic is so much more fun. Stop the Naked Olympics! Ban all blue people! 🤣. Julian you nailed it, online outrage is an addiction for these people. They apparently love to pay for it
C’mon
2024-08-09 23:50:16 +0000 UTCThat's a weirdly specific baggage to assign to it. Maybe you're the one taking it too seriously?

2024-08-09 20:49:12 +0000 UTCIt's always funny to see people think Lovecraft racism was towards black people When it was fairly tame And the real racism was towards non wasp white people

2024-08-09 19:42:08 +0000 UTCPasting my favorite post about the gender controversy by tumblr user jerrycummblr, because it’s been swirling around in my head like a smoothie in a blender for days: “It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.”

2024-08-09 18:55:02 +0000 UTCJake, that wasn't Ezio from AC. That was the Man in the Iron Mask - an iconic French figure.
J
2024-08-09 17:22:37 +0000 UTCIt's me, Tom Cruise. The actor. Have you already a done a Strange Days movie night? Because you totally should, its pretty damn pilled. Plus it gives us more Jake enthusiasm over cult films he "really wants you to love, but understands why you might not, but c'mon guys it's a banger of a movie, but sure it has a few flaws, but that's why its charming".

2024-08-09 17:03:19 +0000 UTCI love it when Julian speaks French! Don’t forget he’s the Beanbag King, and thus meets world leaders.

Sarah Wolf
2024-08-09 17:01:12 +0000 UTCI’d love to see an Olympics where Jake is in charge of deciding what the competitions are, because they’d all be based on movies. Gold medals for busting ghosts and moving in bullet time!
Sarah Wolf
2024-08-09 17:00:07 +0000 UTCUnderwater hockey is real but it’s not in the Olympics. Climbers do get regular medals so I’m not sure what liv was talking about there.
Brittany Rubinstein
2024-08-09 16:02:47 +0000 UTCIn the future I look forward to a new Olympic event; Speed Pilling. It works like speed dating. Contestants have two minutes to pill a room full of random Boomers, Yoga enthusiasts, and washed-up rock stars. The contestant who pills the most people wins.

2024-08-09 15:24:32 +0000 UTCI dunno man, if you look at a metal band playing on the facade of a castle while a headless Marie Antoinette sits in the window and think anything other than “this rules actually” that’s a skill issue
Andrew Lenahan
2024-08-09 12:59:34 +0000 UTCNot sure if this is unpopular but after a few months of hearing the new intro, bring back the old one. The new one has too much of a self-important vibe for me

Alex Anderson
2024-08-09 12:05:01 +0000 UTCNPR did a great podcast series about the history of sex testing under their "Embedded" series, called "Tested". Policing of women's bodies in the context of sport, specifically scrutiny of degrees of "femininity" is a problem with deep misogynist roots and as the QAA team mentioned is intersectional af, affecting women athletes from the Global South primarily, if not exclusively at this moment in time

2024-08-09 10:39:44 +0000 UTCnot to be too catholic partisan here but the paranoia about the opening ceremony is kinda why i think american protestantism is like the closest we get to actual devil worship even moreso than like actual satanism

2024-08-09 08:07:10 +0000 UTCAs a metalhead, I can vouch that Gojira kicks ass and is a very apt choice for France. They're getting big but are also still widely liked among more discerning fans.

2024-08-09 06:42:49 +0000 UTCLove that painting parodies became taboo suddenly. Seeing an ad with Bart and Homer Simpson or Rick and Morty posed like Creation of Adam and fuming, "They aren't even hiding it anymore."

2024-08-09 06:03:14 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Animatrix was the only shit that came close to the og movie. The Last Renaissance (with the Revelations references) was impressive, but the real highlights are Matriculated (by Peter Chung, creator of Aeon Flux) and Detective Story and Kid's Story (by Shinichirō Watanabe who gave us the fucking amazing Cowboy Bebop).
