Joss Whedon and the Girl Geek Archetype
I may have mentioned once or twice that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. Aside from being a self-proclaimed feminist, he writes stories, characters, and dialogue that entertains me and intellectually stimulates me in equal measure. I won’t pretend … Continue reading
Gender Roles in “The Cabin in the Woods”

Sketch Comedy Monday: “Game of Thrones Behind the Scenes”
I’ve written before that the show Game of Thrones might as well be called Game of Tits because of the amount of gratuitous nudity on the show. People in the legitimate press (e.g. critics who get paid to write about … Continue reading
Community’s Changing Character Dynamics
Can I take a minute to say how happy I am that Community is back on my television every week? Because I am so happy that Community is back on my television every week. The show is both as delightful and … Continue reading
