7th Heaven and Conservative Storytelling

Daejah and Justin end the first season of Screen Studies with a bang, by talking about their favorite franchise, The Fast and The Furious Saga.

Ahead of our season finale, we release our very first LOST EPISODE. This was previously supposed to be a trailer episode where we got to know each other. But we had so much to say, we had to release to full directors cut. 

Daejah and Justin are taking a break for the Fourth of July and will be back next week with the SEASON FINALE of Screen Studies. 

It's the most dramatic episode yet! Daejah and Justin discuss their love/hate relationship with the most popular reality show on the planet, The Bachelor.

Is the Legend of Korra really as bad as everyone says it is? Or is it just not what you expected? This week, we bring back Kenna the mouse slayer to discuss one of the greatest animated series of all time, Avatar: The Last Airbender & The Legend of Korra.

Daejah and Justin finally have a chance to explain why so much of their Spotify wrapped has mashups on it. They also discuss the incredible highs and the devastating lows of one of the most popular shows of the decade, Glee.

This week Daejah and Justin parse through their complicated feelings on one of the largest franchises in the world, Harry Potter. 

What happens when fandom reveals its own biases? And more inportantly-- How are gay pirates so cool? In the third episode, Daejah and Justin are joined by @KennaTheMouse Slayer to discuss one of the biggest things in television right now: Our Flag Means Death. They discuss the role of escapism, how race impacts it, and how we react to scarce representation. With lots of laughs along the way, the trio finds some wisdom about navigating TV as a marginalized viewer. 

Why do so many conservative movies and television shows look the same? In the second episode, Daejah makes Justin watch the hit show, 7th Heaven, and together they examine what it means to teach morality through our television screens.
