- Cine y TV
A media retrospective podcast where we emphasize on discussing and learning about media that are either cult hits, underappreciated contemporary games, or older stuff that deserve a modern recontextualization. Despite having academic and literary pretensions this show aims to remain grounded in the humor and focus delivering good analysis with the level of enthusiasm of a drunk grad student running a discussion section. If this still sounds cool to you then congrats you are in main intersection of our weird Venn diagram and we invite you to listen and play or replay these games along with us.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Spaghetti
In this episode Barry and Clay talk with Seldom Needy, a friend of Barry's and a long time member of the My Little Pony fan community. We talk about how we feel abut the show seven seasons in now, including a discussion of the MLP fandom, Barry and Seldom argue about whether you should worry about being stereotyped, and many MLP world building theories are discussed including a big showdown about whether Princess Celestia is actually a good ruler. If you're a kid don't listen its boring and go do your homework or something.
Some useful terms:
Headcanon – A persons personal idea of what counts as being canonical or true about a work of fiction.
Lauren Faust – The creator of the current incarnation of the show
Equestria – The fantasy world of the ponies
Equestria Girls – A spinoff movie series where the ponies are humans in high school.
Spaghetti – Spilling Spaghetti is slang for slipping up and revealing something embarrassing or contextually inappropriate. In this episode its used in the context that bringing up being a fan of MLP is considered “spilling your spaghetti” and implicates you in negative stereotypes of MLP fandom.
Clop – If you can’t tell from context don’t worry about it
Brony – The popular term to describe adult male or any non-target demographic fans of the show.
