    S3E7 - Game of Thrones: House of Diversity

    Games of Thrones is an epic series that spans seven seasons. Like many of the other IP in previous episodes, Doni and Robert discuss why George R.R. Martin created a world that lacks ethnic diversity in positions of power and reduces the people of color to positions of slavery and savages. Was this a culturally tone deaf oversight or a creative decision in attempts to reflect the real world? Tune in to this episode of Mixed Take to hear what Doni and Robert have to say on that matter.

    S3E4 - DC Comics and People of Color

    DC Comics was first released in 1934. five years before Marvel. Since then, they’ve produced endless comic books, television shows, animated features, and movies. In this episode, we celebrate some of our favorite DC characters such as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. However, as we desire diversity in DC, we discuss whether that should come about via race-bending, gender-swapping, or the introduction of brand-new characters. Listen to the show and let us know your thoughts. Hosts: Robert Rivera, Doni Alicea Producer: Rich Hurtado Instagram: @mixedtake

    S3E3 - Lord of the Rings: Multicolored Middle Earth

    When it comes to character development, rich lore, and and an amazing story, there are few films that compare to the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. But before the release of the polarizing Prime Video series Rings of Power, we wondered, “Where is the diversity and where are the women?” In this episode, we talk about both our love for the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and our excitement for an ever-diversifying multicolored Middle Earth. Mixed Take Producer: Rich Hurtado
