Yellowstone

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +0000

On Taylor Sheridan's modern Western, 'Yellowstone', industrialization and real estate sharks threaten to take the Yellowstone ranch away from the Dutton Family.

The show's narrative also includes the struggles of modern day Indigenous people who face substance abuse issues, kidnapping, sexual assault, murder, and more. For its unflinching look at Native struggles which are ripples from colonization, we're reviewing the show this week.

Evacuate the city! Engage all defenses! ...And get yourself some headphones!

This week we’re releasing a never-before-listened-to episode from the vault: Black Panther! Released in 2018, the MCU film was the first major Marvel movie to have a person of color as the lead and a majority-Black cast. Returning from the Get Out episode is my friend Josh who helps us delve into the symbolism, story, and overall coolness of the film! If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you do so before listening because there are detailed plot spoilers! Grind up your heart-shaped herb and enjoy!

The Psychology of Batman ft. Mind Waves Talk

Tue, 24 Apr 2018 01:48:44 +0000

Grab a comfy pillow, sit on a comfy couch, and put on your cape and cowl. It's time to let all of the emotions out.

A special collaboratory episode between The PolitiPop Podcast's own Mike Booch and Mind Waves Talk's Antonia Little. We take the lore of the Dark Knight Detective and discuss his deep-rooted emotional trauma. Primarily focusing on the Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy, we compare the psychological trauma of Batman to the real-life trauma we are confronted with every day and how we cope with it. An episode you won't want to miss!

Mind Waves Talk is a weekly radio show hosted by Antonia Little and Gregory McLellan on WHCS Radio of Hunter College.

Remember, we are not experts or professionals regarding the subject matter in this episode, but do not hesitate to reach out to those who are! If you are in immediate physical danger, always call emergency services, and reach out to hotlines and other supports for emotional/mental trauma or abuse.
