Moments in Madness Jayson Drury

In this episode Andrew stops by to talk about a crazy episode of Kamen Rider X: Starfish Hitler.

We also discuss childhood war time propaganda shorts,  the difference in dealing with death in Japanese television and North American programming and much much more.

Be Warned the shorts contained have some incredible racists elements if that's not something you'd like to see please do not watch them. Also--the short entitled "Keep Your Mouth Shut" contains flashing images--if you are photosensitive please steer clear of watching this short,

WATCHING TELEVISION: THE SHORTCAKE STRATEGY:TOM ENGELHART 

Children Talking Television: The Making of Television Literacy

By David Buckingham, David Buckingham University of London in, David Professor Buckingham

This week the always incredible Sophie joins me to discuss depictions of pregnancy and television as we explore the I Love Lucy classic episode Lucy is Enceinte.

After a really dark last episode I'm joined by Andrew and Valeska to hopefully bring a little light to your life with discussion about a holiday classic. 

This week we are back with a bang with a near 2 HOUR episode--featuring Adam Norton The Spaceman Lawyer me to discuss the Designing Women episode: Killing All the Right People--the AIDS epidemic,  COVID and how governmental negligence always impacts the LGBTIQ+ community greater. We also debate whether anyone has ever had their mind changed by a television program before---and much, much, much MORE.
