How Hollywood is bad (and sometimes good) for the environment, plus the Marvel debate Brainwaves

And we're back! We kick off a new season of the Brainwaves podcast taking a look at movies ahead of the Academy Awards. We'll look at the environmental toll of filmmaking, ways movies can inspire us to be better, and we'll take another look at a longstanding debate: Is the Marvel franchise a hero or villian to American movie culture?

Have a big idea you want us to explore or other feedback? You can now email us at brainwaves@colorado.edu.
