Episode #17 - Potato Journalism

Jul 10, 2017, 10:44 PM

OITNB. Dirk Gently. Baby. As in, B - A - B - Y Baby. These coincidentally rhyming properties are some of the things that we're currently recommending. But in the wake of MTV's recent announcement, we're passionately enraged by the ongoing dismissal of longform content. The issue of the alleged shortening attention span of the average internet user ties into several more of our gripes, including Jack's observation of online abuse in the RuPaul's Drag Race community and Karen's discovery of the world's most bullshit opinion article about franchise film gatekeeping. Meanwhile. Natalie is an utter hypocrite about a couple of book to screen television adaptations, Karen's stoked for Comic Con despite hating panels, and Brittany's Comic Con is wherever Natalie is.
