World War II on Film: Dunkirk and Saving Private Ryan

Why 5 Seconds of Summer is Not A Boy Band

In honor of me seeing 5 Seconds of Summer again tonight for the first time in 5 years, I'm taking you on a walk down memory lane in one of my Public Speaking presentations where I fervently beg people not to call 5SOS a boy band in 2015. It's a lot of rambling about how much I love my friends and why it's probably a good thing not to have a direct deposit option to your favorite bands as a 17-year-old. --- Written, Edited, Produced, and Artwork by Zoe Miguel-Nixon Theme Song: "She Don't Mind" by Mandala (@mandalact) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/popculturepapers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/popculturepaper Email: popculturepapers@gmail.com Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod [https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod]

World War II on Film: Dunkirk and Saving Private Ryan

Welcome back! In this episode, I talk about the haze of Fall 2018, World War II films, and obviously, Harry Styles. It's nice to be back to the regularly scheduled programming, lol. --- Written, Edited, Produced, and Artwork by Zoe Miguel-Nixon Theme Song: "She Don't Mind" by Mandala (@mandalact) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/popculturepapers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/popculturepaper Email: popculturepapers@gmail.com Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod [https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod]

Girl in a Country Song by Maddie & Tae

Welcome back! In a surprisingly angry past paper, I discuss one of my favorite country hits, "Girl in a Country Song," what it meant to me, and as you can tell one of my favorite topics by now, women's agency. Hopefully, my sunshine-y demeanor remains intact in your mind because I felt meaner than usual, lol.  Written, Edited, Produced, and Artwork by Zoe Miguel-Nixon Theme Song: "She Don't Mind" by Mandala (@mandalact) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/popculturepapers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/popculturepaper Email: popculturepapers@gmail.com Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod [https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod]

Little Voice by Sara Bareilles

Welcome back! Today, you get to hear me gush about Sara Bareilles, lightly rage over the gender inequality in music, and analyze the album cover for 2007's "Little Voice."  Written, Edited, Produced, and Artwork by Zoe Miguel-Nixon Theme Song: "She Don't Mind" by Mandala (@mandalact) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/popculturepapers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/popculturepaper Email: popculturepapers@gmail.com Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod [https://ko-fi.com/popculturepaperspod]

Religion in the Superhero Genre

Welcome back! Hot on the heels of the incredible Spider-Man: No Way Home and Christmas, I thought we'd talk about religion in the superhero space. Barring the technical difficulties, I go into my background with Christianity, why I wrote this paper, and where the genre is today with its religious content. Content warnings for mentions of religious trauma, antisemitism, and Islamophobia.
