Thots and Fears
Manage episode 340300590 series 2821649
In preparation for spooky season, this episode is all about fear. We talk about the fears of today (and fears experienced by your co-hosts) that are exploited within pop culture by taking a closer look at House of the Dragon and She-Hulk. We think critically about the relationship of fandom and violence and how contemporary fears are used to drive TV plot lines.
Taking fear back to its roots, we look at the use of fear in art history as a visual tool of propaganda in religion, politics, entertainment, and storytelling.
CONTENT WARNING. When discussing House of the Dragon, we talk about violence against women and child bearers and bodily freedoms concerning abortion.
