Hello everyone!

As we make our way through February we bring yet another collab with our friend André, and on another very liberal piece of media, the League of Legends based show: Arcane!

There was potential (some) to this show, as we elaborate on it, and yet, a rushed production, a terrible political perspective, and more, turn this into yet another, although worse, liberal and alienating show - reminds us of the previous time we had André on, for X-Men '97, what a shame!

And yet, although we are frustrated, we managed to make the most of it, with a better weighter episode than we expected, and no less fierce criticism, as it demanded of us.

Enjoy!

Check out André's stuff, in Portuguese (if able) and English!

Hello everyone!!

We start February in style, with Emma's return as she's got a new book out! The excellent The Quick and the Dead! Alchemy, romance, power, religion, and more!

As such we talk a bit about how these elements constitute historical representation, how to depict them and queerness in the Elizabethan era, and dive into matters of religion, State power, and belief!

Check it out and read the book!

Hello everyone!!

Kicking off 2025 with the Left Page we bring a very special series of books, the First Law trilogy, by Joe Abercrombie!

A series dear to Leon and, now to the pod itself. We dive into how these books actually achieve goals of engaging the psychological, the social and the political, while also making compelling literature, imagine that!

As such, we explore the building of this world, and how it depicts History, war, power, and even its own sense of mythology. A very strong recommendation from us, and a wonderful time for sure.

Enjoy!
