Opportune June comes to a close with "The Great," the anachronistic take on Catherine the Great's rise to power in 18th Century Russia from the writer of "The Favourite." Did we think it was, in fact, great? Answers await you.
Also this episode, dipping our toes back into the world, the merits of using a scalpel instead of a hammer to dismantle systemic racism in the world of entertainment, and the things we've been checking out this week including all the Studio Ghibli on Netflix, Avatar and murder puppets, y'all, murder puppets.
As is tradition, this will be our last episode until we return for August Watch-O-Rama. We'll still be kicking around on social media, come find us at twitter.com/geekdownpod.
Stay safe, friends. Look out for each other, and try to be 15% more.
If you'd like to support the show, we'd prefer you take that money and give it to an organization fighting to protect Black lives. There's a good list of them here: https://nymag.com/strategist/article/where-to-donate-for-black-lives-matter.html
