The American Film Institute has released lists of their top 100 films in many different categories over the years, but in today’s episode, we discuss the lists that started it all: The 100 Greatest American Movies Of All Time (as of 1998 and 2007, at least). But is it really a list of the very best movies of ALL TIME? We certainly don’t think so!

Fan fiction! Fan art! All fan made works that show just how much we love the media we consume are valid works of creative expression, which is what we discuss today.

Ah, love is in the air. But why do so many people scorn those of us that read/watch/write things in the romance genre? In this episode, we talk about the awful tropes that have persisted over the decades, the shining light that is modern media made BY women FOR women, and how we can reclaim it for the better.

Ever notice how a lot of movies these days are based off a video game? We certainly have!
