Revisiting the Death of the Teen Comedy: A year ago, I made the bold claim that the teen comedy as a genre was on the decline. However, my mind has since changed. Following in the tradition of films like Heathers, Jawbreaker, and Mean Girls, Netflix's latest release "Do Revenge" has since revived a declining genre and reminded audience how the genre can be again. So get in loser, because we're revisiting how the teen comedy came to be, where it went wrong, and where it's heading. by The Afternoon Special

2000's How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a Year Round Film: This week's episode is The Afternoon Special podcast's midseason finale and we're spending it by pleading with you for 30 minutes that you should watch 2000's How The Grinch Stole Christmas year round.

Snoopy: Gen Z's Animated Antidepressant: The days are getting shorter. The wind is getting a biting chill to it. Life can start feeling bleak around the holiday season and being frank, I know Seasonal Affective Disorder is kicking major ass right now. In this dark hour, we need a hero. A hero to save us all. And who know that hero would come in a little black and white mute beagle with the alias Joe Cool, or more commonly known as Snoopy. If you’ve been on any social media site, there’s been a bit of a uptick in Snoopy related content of all kinds. Merch hauls, edits, literally anything with Snoopy at the center of it. With most of us watching A Charlie Brown Christmas in the next week, I thought we’d take a deep dive into Snoopy, the world of Peanuts, and get to the core of what makes them effective depression ward offs. by The Afternoon Special

Why May December is the Sleeper Hit of the Year: Last Friday, one of the best films of the year dropped on Netflix. From director Todd Haynes and starring Julianne Moore, Nathalie Portman, and Charles Melton, MAY DECEMBER was a film that was only somewhat on my radar and now I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It's easily in the top 3 films of the year. This will be a spoiler review so if you’re remotely interested in seeing the film, GO WATCH IT and then come back here to listen. by The Afternoon Special

Irony is Killing Rom Coms: This week’s episode was born out of conversation being had on Twitter. The topic at hand was around why rom coms don’t really feel like rom coms anymore with our irony obsessed culture being the main culprit. We yearn for the days of classic films like When Harry Met Sally or even newer picks like To All The Boys I've Loved Before, an earnest rom com that didn't need to wink and nod to the audience that it was rom com. And that got the wheels of my brain turning. Has irony killed our ability to enjoy an honest rom com? Is an aversion to the cinema’s take on love a sign of our own qualms with love? Were rom coms of the past in need of a fix and this is the answer? This week, we’re going to get to the bottom of this problem with the modern day rom com. by The Afternoon Special

Scott Pilgrim is a Loser and I Can Prove It (Missed Connections): With the newest edition to the Scott Pilgrimverse, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, premiering on Netflix, I thought I'd finally right a wrong and watch 2010's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (I know). This week, in a new series (that may only have one episode, you know me) that I'm calling Missed Connections, I look back on Scott Pilgrim with fresh 25 year old eyes and give you my thoughts! by The Afternoon Special

Are The Looney Tunes Going to Save Hollywood?: When you think about Hollywood royalty, you may think about legacy studios or starlets of yesteryear, but when I think about Hollywood royalty, I think about characters and one group of characters that are the epitome of tinseltown nobility is the Looney Tunes. The Tunes of Loon have been in the news a lot recently with the shelving of the live action/animation hybrid film, Coyote vs. Acme by Warner Bros. and this week, we are taking a brief walk through the history of the Looney Tunes, why Hollywood doesn’t know what to do with them, and why they’re so important. by The Afternoon Special

The Curious Case of Betty Boop: Betty Boop. She’s a pop culture icon.

No matter where from, you know Betty. But who is she? Well, she is the subject of a bit of controversy in recent years on her origins and this week, we’re going to dive into it. by The Afternoon Special

It's Alive!: A Brief-ish History of the Movie Monster: Not too long after the invention of film, filmmakers began finding ways to put common emotions to the big screen. Happiness in comedies, sadness in dramas, love in romance. And of course, fear in horror. Horror films hold an important space in film history and is a genre that oftentimes uses a disguised placed mirror to society to source scares. And one common disguise used is the movie monster. Creature features, if you will. Beasts, mummies, lab grown monsters, aliens, and vampires have been terrifying (and/or arousing) audiences for decades and this week, we’re taking a look into a brief-ish history of the movie monster. So if that sounds good to you, let’s get started. by The Afternoon Special

A Dish Best Served Scary: A Look At How Food Can Scare Us in Film: A lot of what scares is centered around consumption, especially in horror movies. Zombies eating our brains. Demons eating our souls. Werewolves eating our flesh. Vampires drinking our blood. So it makes sense that food holds a really interesting place in films intended to terrify us. This week, we’re taking a look into how food is used to scare us in film. Unlike previous food episodes we’ve done, you might want to listen to this one on an empty stomach. by The Afternoon Special

Now before you start sharpening your pitchforks and placing a plague onto my house, this is not an episode to say whether he's right or wrong, is more so meant to provide context for what this discourse is getting at and how we can expand this conversation. Scorsese cinephiles, I come in peace. by The Afternoon Special

The Good, The Bad, and The Complicated World of Barbie: Barbie. What a contentious doll. To one group of people she is THE representation of female empowerment. A girl boss, if you will.

Now if you can tell from the fact that I just casually dropped Barbie’s government name or if you follow me on any social media platform, you know that I’m something of an amateur Barbie expert and this month, I’ll be taking you on a deep dive into the world of Barbie. by The Afternoon Special

In Defense and Opposition of Disney Princesses: When talking about Disney Princess for the last few weeks, I’ve highlighted briefly how complex they are. Depending on who you ask, they can be beacons for female representation and the power of dreaming or they are anti-women figures used only to hock Disney merchandise at young impressionable viewers. This week, in our penultimate episode on a month long deep dive into the world of Disney Princesses, we’re assessing the good, the bad, and the misunderstood about them. by The Afternoon Special

The Story of The (little) Mermaid Who Saved Disney: For the past few weeks, we’ve been exploring the history and music of the Disney Princess and we discovered that at many key points in history, they have been the guiding light for Disney. However, you’ll also remember that for a time, Disney was in a really bad place as a studio and a company in general. The studio needed something new and who do you turn to? A mermaid, of course. This week, we're taking a look at the production history of 1989's The Little Mermaid. by The Afternoon Special

Adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere: Exploring the Music of the Disney Princess: The songs of Disney Princess films have this prevailing nature to them about the power of love, the power of a wish, and the power of a dream. These expertly composed songs almost take on a life of their own and in some ways transcend the movies they’re from. This week, we’re taking a deep dive into the musical world of the Disney Princesses, exploring the songs they have on their hearts and how they came to be. (Warning: this episode might make you want to sing like a Disney Princess.) by The Afternoon Special

Disney Princesses Have Always Saved Disney: For almost 100 years, Disney Princesses have been a pillar of pop culture.

They’re Ani-many, Totally Insane-y: A Retrospective on Warner Bros' TV Animation of the 1990s: "In the early 90s, there was one studio that seemed to have an unassuming dominance on the saturday morning cartoon space and that’s Warner Brothers. From Tiny Toons Adventures to Freakazoid to Animaniacs, Warner Bros. was responsible for a golden age of animation that came at the tail end of the Saturday morning cartoon as an institution. This week, we're discussing this amazing crop of animated shows and how we partially have Steven Spielberg to thank for them. " by The Afternoon Special
