Fandom at its Finest

Love listening to these ladies talk about all things geek culture! A great combination of feminist thinking, fan culture, and silly quips that will always get me laughing AND thinking. A great place to find new fandoms too!

A little much...

I saw this podcast, listened to episode 0 and got pretty excited about it. I have been looking for something that looks at geeky stuff from a brand new perspective. The first episode was great the thoughts, the points, and takeaways were valid and I could understand where some of it was coming from even if I did not particularly agree with one or two things. The second episode...was a little much. I got through the review of Wonder Woman and had to stop. The points that they were making I thought were too much and a little out there and did not take into account the history of the comic book, writer, creator, etc...which was more what I was looking for.
