  • Shang-Chi, or the Castle of Simu Liu (feat. Seqarts)
    Dec 13 2024

    Friend of the show/Discord moderator of the year/Asian correspondent Seqarts returns to guide us through a discussion of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings that takes us on a journey through Marvel's orientalist source material, American liberal understandings of Asian identity, the limits of representation politics, and Simu Liu's sordid internet history. Shockingly woke discussion.

    Thank you to our $10 Executive Producers: Isaac, Walt Lewellyn of The Black Casebook, Kevin Feige doing the Shmurda Dance, Jim (shout out to Jim!), jprestonpoole, Sam, Lohik, bernventers, and Owen2.

  • TEASER: Cat People
    Dec 6 2024

    The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats are rather small Jellicle cats are merry and bright And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul Jellicle cats have cheerful faces Jellicle cats have bright black eyes We like to practice our airs and graces And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise Jellicle cats develop slowly Jellicle cats are not too big Jellicle cats are roly poly We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig Until the Jellicle Moon appears We make our toilet and take our repose Jellicles wash behind their ears Jellicles dry between their toes Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats are of moderate size Jellicles jump like a jumping jack Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes We're quiet enough in the morning hours We're quiet enough in the afternoon Reserving our Terpsichorean powers To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats (as we said) are small If it happens to be a stormy night We will practice a caper or two in the hall If it happens the sun is shining bright You would say we have nothing to do at all We are resting and saving ourselves to be bright For the Jellicle Moon and Jellicle Ball Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
