Ep. 71. Top Gun Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

This week on the podcast we have a brand new segment called "problematic Jukebox" where we talk about one of our favorite problematic songs, Blurred Lines! Then we get into what turns out to be a surprisingly tender portrayl of male friendship with Top Gun! It's not all great though, there's still plenty of sexism and white dudes being white dudes.
