Hello everyone!!
Today we're starting off with our new kinds of episodes, as we discuss a more broad element... the discourse on the new Oddyssey film!
We've often talked about historical representation, mythology, and what "historical accuracy" can mean, but not as directly as of yet. So this time we went full into some of the terrible ways those are all used, distanced from any interesting or useful cultural critique, and only a terrible weapon to brandish.
So come along as we seek to prepare ourselves and others to not fall into those same pitfalls and traps that are misrepresenting and confusing all at once.
Enjoy!
