With the help of Abdul JanMohamed’s manichean allegory—an aspect of Orientalist literature—Marcelle leads us through a conversation that digs into the history of the “Disney vault,” the American values implicit in the movie, the relationship between exploitation and representation, and much, much more!

Smells like the commodification of teen spirit! In this episode, we welcome beloved friend of the pod and returning guest Marshall Watson (he/him) to talk all about Nirvana and the grunge culture of the 90s. Together, Marcelle, Hannah, and Marshall dig into the anti-establishment ethos of Nirvana, the grunge genre as an act of musical resistance, and what happens once counter-culture becomes mainstream. To do this, they’ve obviously gotta dig into Adorno and Horkheimer’s theory of the culture in...

When Hannah and Marcelle go to Disneyland, you can pretty much bank on them returning happier, out some cash, and deep in the throes of processing the experience!

Material Girls revisits "Heated Rivalry" to delve into its Canadian cultural significance, joined by John Batt of @canada.gov.ca. The discussion covers the show's subtle Canadian elements like architecture and apologies, its depiction of hockey as "drag," and the complexities of Canadian arts funding, including the historical Massey Commission. The hosts and guest explore how the show's success challenges the idea of a singular Canadian culture, celebrating regional specificities over a monolithic national identity.

See you next week for the FINALE!!! Music Credits: “S...
Welcome back to Pitty Party! Yes, the first five minutes of this episode are devoted to discussing hockey, and not even the gay kind! Sorry if you're not into that.

We’ll be back next week to talk all about season 2, episode 14, 8:00 PM. Do we think there are gonna be beers in the park this season?? It's not loo...
Feast your magic-loving ears on THIS! Today we are doing something very exciting. We are re-publishing the first-ever episode of the original run of Witch, Please. Back in 2015, Hannah and Marcelle were just two hot young things working in academia living in a world a bit different from the one we’re in today… and they decided to create a podcast about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Many of our listeners joined us while that show was on air — but a good number of you arrived after the fact...
Welcome back to Pitty Party! NOTE: This episode discusses a storyline involving self-harm starting around the 29 minute mark. We wrap up the specifics around 33:33 and move into the rest of the conversation between Santos and Whitaker for the rest of the segment.

In this week's episode, Hannah and Marcelle talk about the changing zeitgeisty-ness of the Academy Awards through a deep dive on the awards' early days, its legacy and what we might make of the show's move to Youtube starting 2029. Drawing on theorist Robert Boucault's new book, Oscar Bait: The Acad...
Welcome back to Pitty Party! Editor’s note: Gaby misspeaks at one point in the episode and refers to the “slash trach” that Dr. Al-Hashimi does as a “slash crike.” Another reminder that none of us are medical doctors :) It’s another jam packed episode full of “mommy issues” of all kinds, waterslide accidents, a stairwell confrontation between Garcia and Santos (Siri, play “Casual” by Chappell Roan), and our own invented fanfic about Robby, Whitaker, and Robby’s friend Duke. Arguably our most NSF...
