Episode 22: Search: WWW (Part 2 featuring Flint Jamison)

Episode 24: Alice

In the first episode of 2021 Eunsong Kim and Kim Nguyen discuss Alice (2020) a show with a huge writers' room problem with too many plotlines that involve time travel and how Kim Hee Sun cannot age, ever. We go through and discuss: what was this show about?, was this show pro-life propaganda or no?, is this show about the endless divergence where anything is possible (kinda of like only fans but free), is male acting just staring and blinking or violent outbursts? Is there a subtle critique of liberal humanism? 3 of the cops majored in the liberal arts, and more, hope you enjoy!

Episode 25: Kingdom (featuring Jamie Hilder)

In this very special episode Eunsong Kim and Kim Nguyen discuss “Kingdom” (season 1 (2019) season 2 (2020)) the only zombie show we have ever watched, that we may ever watch with artist and educator extraordinaire Jamie Hilder. We go through: how it’s a lot to watch a show about a plague and the violence of state neglect during a global pandemic, Monarchy as a death cult, the amount of men willing to die for a monarchy wow, why is this show called “Kingdom” maybe it should have been “The Female Physician,” reform is never the answer the solution was and is to light everything on fire, how by season 2 you forget that the tiger killer is maybe a cannibal and def becomes hottest character for sure life is so bleak…hope you enjoy!

Episode 23: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (featuring Fatima-El-Tayeb)

In this very special episode Eunsong Kim and Kim Nguyen discuss the 90s phenomenon “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” with the most fabulous Fatima El-Tayeb. We go through: why being a girl sucks (then, still, always), the old old man (vampire) + young tween trope, the possibility of racializing the “work” of the slayer, the necessity of the scooby doo friendship pack, witnessing the rise of incel dudebro culture, and why we stan trash tv: trash tv rules!!! for your 2ndary pleasures: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mackage-Saige-Short-Leather-Jacket-With-Quilted-Detail-In-Black-sz-S-750/283614706066?hash=item4208c0f992:g:3sMAAOSwIlBeqOmU https://www.ebay.com/itm/GUESS-Womens-New-1393-Silver-Square-Neck-Spaghetti-Strap-Tank-Top-S-B-B/164593657582?hash=item26528be6ee:g:pjkAAOSw2gBf3-Tl https://www.ebay.com/itm/Harmony-Mini-SlipdressALICE-OLIVIA/274555605036?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item3fecca102c:g:k7kAAOSwF2tfnRNv&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%252Fn%252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkY3FSd4Ad8xn3oRtkVexxrAXw627HItrzPTkcFpG4kWaUaEq96ShHftPHca%252F4x%252FsO4FAB5IosUEtuXOQ7R0dyZ3SlVkFL2z8uoXuIqUa666F1wM3SS%252By5VZj%252BreNiRoVw95gvCTNjI99fJpCk%252F6tKMtQL7Jipy7Mn0PWkNaqCfa3s9FNTk0PIu8kFaASpK0FdTrhbbjOxQ3uUWng69B5Ybk2BsZKKNd0wwCtwwQAjE77ANKxWsEzkAtGD0OXWRpEbNp8DtlYIU0k3fBNNcSpV82VbKdBTO4K%252FwlA4dVsvQYY%252BZhi5Zp%252Fy8a3oHxRHGt09kYYESXqTyBQtQ4JNRILNmLnss03gfBDrV40NzZNiF4qsqLetKZGRDPLmdp5nnV9HU0UgaZyMtVClnxanlZleK7s%252BqcvLQWiMpHf0clBfuvKOK1mvlZslDdxGfS51%252BNT2YJEtlSsOwrpSGr8END08aER7ydvFNYlR9iB5yUqxAKF7XigEps8Ejgtx4Iqb8pRPz8kHt9jOwLRJ1Zgn3rseoG0UHK8zY7mMNSBEYl3dZ4khMg%252FRfOE2bdLRemak%252BZW7WPIl3O9wGR88nQeJLfUOkPaMRyljntFJPeWY8MR7tbFO3MP7VEX0XDoonYHaH%252BhrywUZIC2le5%252BYPTdT2fLhOfKfDvzdOWat%252Fzk9HmAKZN78Zwaj18wr%252FDDgEgtJC66RLqG%252FA8Il%252Bs8LRl0vM7AMdc9BxQaRbGedBeicascZcUavPHrndYaVo%252B2s1cLS0nulWasbaeXlNbxWE8aecNcHRP3NI9vkkvLGVbhp1i%252FE32o%253D%7Ccksum%3A27455560503645950b7dbfcd47c584cbe7cdb80afd9a%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2334524 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Isabel-Marant-Etoile-Faux-Leather-Zeffery-Trouser-Pant-Burgundy-Red-42-10US-/133246449445 Intro music by the glorious FKA TWIGS “closer”

Episode 22: Search: WWW (Part 2 featuring Flint Jamison)

In episode 22, Kim Nguyen & Eunsong Kim with special guest star Flint Jamison continue to discuss "Search: WWW" (2019), the most amazing show on earth about an all women-run internet search engine company, and its rival corporation. In this show we ponder: is the internet a public good, or a colonial archive or both? What is the political difference between "private" and "public" web companies? What is the allure of the fantasy of the internet as an egalitarian and ethical space (what the 90s said it would be...)? The representation of surveillance and resistance, and once again: why a show full of women and their hologram boyfriends is our fantasy! for your 2ndary pleasures: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tommy-Hilfiger-Zendaya-Womens-Long-Sleeve-Button-Up-Satin-Shirt-Purple-Size-2/153891805770?hash=item23d4aa9a4a:g:3ZEAAOSwPiFejjPZ https://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-ZADIG-VOLTAIRE-RULLE-MESH-DRESS-SIZE-XS-548/174520775543?hash=item28a23fb377:g:XBcAAOSwAadfZ~5K https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ferragamo-Studio-Leather-Handbag-Medium-in-Taupe-mud/254720938831?hash=item3b4e8d134f:g:iE4AAOSwORFfYn1s https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32964823649.html

Episode 21: Search: WWW (Part 1)

In episode 20, Kim Nguyen & Eunsong Kim discuss "Search: WWW" (2019), the most amazing show in the world about an all women-run internet search engine company, and its rival corporation. We examine how liberal feminism is trash and really more capitalism with a better outfits (the pantsuits in this show are nice), the 90s dream of the internet democratized possibilities, the Kdrama move away from the sacrificial and towards the abusive parent (there are almost no parents in this drama!), the romance of female friends and how refreshing it was to watch something where the villains and the protagonists were all female! Men in this show almost don't exist or only exist as handsome holograms we cannot recommend this show enough :) for your 2ndary pleasures: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Prada-Sidonie-Chain-Shoulder-Bag-Saffiano-Leather-Medium/124370221006?hash=item1cf50af7ce:g:fY0AAOSw54JffbNd https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fendi-Mother-Of-Pearl-Timepiece-With-Interchangable-Leather-Strap-Designer-Watch/303386399074?hash=item46a33d1162:g:TjEAAOSwt95d5BHy https://www.ebay.com/itm/Theory-DB-Tailor-Linen-Suit-Jacket-Pants-in-Pop-Fuchsia-Size-6-Total-940-NWT/293737853222?hash=item446423f126:g:meAAAOSwAx1fYhgy
