A podcast where we take a slightly deeper look at the media we all consume. Allayne, Kurt, and Blake take turns being the host and suggesting what maybe some of the hidden narrative and themes in a book, comic, movie, etc.

episode 72: [S]laughter is the Best Medicine - Part OOPS
So, basically... Blake screwed up.
My bad.
In lieu of a stand-and-deliver episode on cinematic theory (which, evidently, I was unable to stand up and deliver), I'm democratizing the process and giving you all the uncommented-upon side-topics and media that we DID try to discuss before I went and made a mess of things.
There's some really interesting stuff in here so please do give it a go:
1) Violence
Mike Rugnetta - PBS Idea Channel - Violence
Slavoj Žižek - Violence
Laura Tanner - Intimate Violence
Wikipedia - Scopophobia
2) Anarchy & Power
Oliver Thorn - Philosophy Tube - "Intro To Anarchy: Power and Violence"
Slavoj Žižek - The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (The Dark Knight)
Greg Scorzo - One+One - "Manners and Guilt: Audience Horror in Michael Haneke’s Funny Games remake"
3) Metafiction
Eric Taxxon - Unveiling Fiction: Funny Games
Daniel Podgorski - The Gemsbok - "Unfamiliar Slasher: How Michael Haneke’s Funny Games Wonderfully Accomplishes the Opposite of Haneke’s Goal"
4) Coda
Oliver Thorn - Philosophy Tube - "When Will Security Go Back to Normal?"
