The purpose of this podcast is to recognize that fiction in all its iterations affects us, teaches us, and propagandizes us. The best antidote to that is critical thinking and recognizing the patterns we are given to follow.  We are going to talk about movies and shows that we love and hate through the same lens, starting with how it affects heterosexual relations and how patriarchy functions, but we will also be touching on different topics because intersectionality exists and matters.
