    66. Women in Games I - From Lara Croft to Gamergate

    Mackenna yells a lot into the microphone this week. Which is surprising because this week's topic is the completely uncontroversial conversation surrounding women in video games. We track the hot girls of the video game boom of the 90s (like Tomb Raider's Lara Croft) through the downfall of booth bathes all the way to the rise of the alt-right, aka a little thing called Gamergate.  Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Logo design: Freya Sierra Theme Music: Josh Capati Send us an email at informedattraction@gmail.com Listening notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSiD0hEVps8kgSM-8z39Mt4eS6VyDPG-zxXUxWuV-G2FmF-tMBDvmZKCjcBa8U23tq_SC_ZregdqDaK/pub

    65. Mormons II - Kody from Sister Wives Sucks (ft. Peyton Flake)

    This week, we are joined by Mackenna's friend and actual ex-Mormon, Peyton Flake, to talk about how mormons have influenced and been depicted in the media. We run through some thoughts on Twilight, Big Love, Under the Banner of Heaven, Sister Wives, The Book of Mormon, Dancing With the Stars, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It's a TV grab bag with LDS flair. And Mackenna learned just how ANNOYING Kody from Sister Wives really is.  Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Guest: Peyton Flake (@peytonflake) Logo design: Freya Sierra Theme Music: Josh Capati Send us an email at informedattraction@gmail.com Watch Peyton's short film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiR2qxnY22w

    64. Mormons I - What Are Temple Garments?

    My brothers in Christ, welcome to a nearly two hour podcast just about special Mormon underwear. Just kidding! (We will touch on the undies though.) This week, Aubrey launches into a series about the Church of Latter Day Saints aka the Mormons. We give a brief history of Mormons in the United States as well as an intro to what Mormon culture is like. And Mackenna finally gets to scream about one of her sworn enemies: Brigham Young.  Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Logo design: Freya Sierra Theme Music: Josh Capati Send us an email at informedattraction@gmail.com Listening notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPic6eS7L15sPKcmv-NZrEBvly5IVTakybfUFYt6riDvrQ0bWYZBaf0jGCmKovU39jTLsPpIBUIvnL/pub

    63. Body Hair - The Goatee Is So Back, Baby

    Hello! Happy Monday! Wow, we're back just in time for your commute. This week, Mackenna and Aubrey are talkin' hair, body hair specifically. Aubrey walks us through a detailed history of body hair removal practices throughout time. They also discuss trends in facial hair, whether it is woke and based to be a hairy woman, and is shaving your legs participating in pedophile culture? Tbh, we get raunchy in this one because there's A LOT about porn and pubes. Enjoy!

    62. Muppets III - Miss Piggy and Kermit's Beloved Toxic Relationship (ft. Andie Fuentes)

    This week, we are wrapping up our convo of the Muppets (for now!) by talking about the #1 Diva, Miss Piggy, and her commitment-phobe boyfriend, Kermit the Frog. We talked with comedian Andie Fuentes about what makes Kermit and Piggy attractive and why we root for them despite them being... kind of toxic?? Also, we assert who has that "Piggy energy" in real life.

    61. Muppets II - Who Is the Hottest Muppet? (ft. Kenjiro Lee)

    Listen, last week, Mackenna got really in their feelings about Gonzo, so this week we are doing a DEEP and SCIENTIFIC and OBJECTIVE look at a very VITAL question: what makes a Muppet hot? To answer this question, we are joined by puppeteer and Muppet fanatic, Kenjiro Lee. We dissect the rules of attractiveness in the Muppetverse and then tier list a whole bunch of these dogs, frogs, and whatevers.  Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Guest: Kenjiro Lee (he/him; @kenjiromakestheater @softshellpuppets) Logo design: Freya Sierra Theme Music: Josh Capati Send us an email at informedattraction@gmail.com Listening notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRvNXG3XP-f8DE0G7zBqOD9mMS2PWQ1SuDoB0y95s0L6f-QKq_MPIGRvoe5gnCExvg-Cc8-qL5rBbVS/pub

    60. The Muppets I - Is Gonzo Nonbinary?

    Thank Kermit, we are finally talking about muppets. As a post-Pride episode, we're yapping about why so many non-binary folks identify with Gonzo. And uh-oh, we get extremely personal about Mackenna's gender and sexuality. Plus, a special guest appearance by Gonzo and Camilla! Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Interstitial starring A.J.

    59. Male Victims II - May December!!!! ...That's My Boy...

    ...I mean, it's not even a competition. This week, Mackenna and Aubrey are comparing and contrasting two pieces of media inspired by the Mary Kay Letourneau case: That's My Boy, a raunchy Adam Sandler movie that thinks being abused by an older woman makes you a celebrity, and May December, a movie about how good of an actor Charles Melton is.  TW: major discussion of sexual abuse of a minor throughout, minor discussion of suicide at 1:42:30 Hosted by: Mackenna Goodrich (she/they; @mack3nna) and Dr. Aubrey Hoffer, PHd (she/her; @hoff.phd) Logo design: Freya Sierra Theme Music: Josh Capati Send us an email at informedattraction@gmail.com Listening notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSmC1ZNKDxKKTAf9rQ9-X3rYkOpwRpvsCpTX8tcO84bL6g-T0epQCjFuiu9W02fYlTUXimIwDIxR1l7/pub
