In this edition of THE BIG RANT, Chris, Andre, and friend-of-the-show Joe discuss the internet’s freak out over the Little Mermaid being played by Halle Bailey and the typical fury surrounding representation in pop culture.


The guys kick things off discuss race representation, with The Little Mermaid, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Titans, Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon (GOT HOTD?), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.


Next they move onto religion representation, discussing Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and the announcement that Sabra, an Israeli superhero, will be included in Captain America: New World Order.


Finally, they close things out talking about gender representation and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and the collective aneurysm the internet had over the main character twerking in a mid-credits scene.

In this episode, we get caught up on all the reviews we started and didn't finish, or ones that we should have done a while ago but are just now getting around to doing.


(00:03:18) Obi-Wan Kenobi: We give our review of the first season now that it's finally over and take issue with some of the things the show did while also giving credit where credit is due.


(00:15:22) Ms. Marvel: Two-thirds of us loved this show and really enjoyed the story it told, while one of us just couldn't get on board with it. We also address the 6-episode issue Marvel and Disney+ seem to be having.


(00:33:11) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Again, two-thirds us enjoyed the film, but one us absolutely hated it. Was this Sam Raimi's best writing job yet, or did this film get lost along the way?


(00:51:09) Thor: Love and Thunder: Only two of us have seen the film, but the third member of the show decided to weigh in anyways, despite only having seen the trailers. Does his hatred for Taika Waititi blind him from enjoying anything he touches or does Andre make some good points despite the fact that he HASN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET? You be the judge!

In this edition of THE BIG RANT, Chris and Andre focus in on the steady decline in news viewership and the seeming increase in the number of "info-tainment" shows designed to combine traditional news stories with humor.


Along the way they discuss a recent Axios article highlighting the fall in cable news ratings, the shift from news anchors and traditional journalists to tv personalities as hosts of longstanding news programs, the supposed need for sensationalism in news coverage, "bad news fatigue," and the consolidation of news outlet ownership.


Ultimately, the guys explain why they feel this is a bad trend for society as a whole and how this shift has led to people feeling that being aware is the same as being informed.
