<![CDATA[Overthinking It (On Purpose)]]>The purpose of this podcast is to recognize that fiction in all its iterations affects us, teaches us, and propagandizes us. The best antidote to that is critical thinking and recognizing the patterns we are given to follow. 

We are going to talk about movies and shows that we love and hate through the same lens, starting with how it affects heterosexual relations and how patriarchy functions, but we will also be touching on different topics because intersectionality exists and matters.

This week, we are going to tackle the movie 'Materialists' and the gender dynamics at play with humor, frustration, and a lot of cursing.

TRIGGER WARNING: We will be discussing sexual assault, which happens to one of the characters in the movie, throughout a large portion of the podcast, so please take care of yourself.

We are just getting started, and this episode was recorded the same day we recorded "Ready Or Not", so please bear with us as we learn to share our opinions with you and not over each other, as well as the microphone situation. We ordered some starter mics so hopefully in a couple weeks the sound will be a lot better.
