9. Daredevil ACAB?, Jubilee Neo-Nazi is Canadian, Seth Rogen Returns with Hollywood Satire

In this audio version of my livestream on twitch, I discuss: 00:23 - according to Deadline, 'Stranger Things' actress Sadie Sink has been cast as the new female lead and co-star of Tom Holland in Marvel Studios' Spider-Man 4, seemingly disproving rumours that she would play Jean Grey in the upcoming x-men film, but leading to new ones that she would somehow be playing a version of mary jane, despite Zendaya already portraying the MCU's take on the character. 15:25 - After the repeated misgendering and harassment of Sarah McBride, the first trans congresswoman in the united states house of representatives by republican colleagues, one of her democratic colleagues finally decided to stand up for her and demand that a republican committee chair who introduced her as "mr. mcbride" show her the respect and dignity she deserves. instead, the chair chose to end the meeting before it even began. 21:42 - a far-right political activist and commentator who participated in a Jubilee debate with progressive commentator, comedian, and host of the Majority Report, Sam Seder, and who made headlines by arguing in favour of what she described as "xenophobic nationalism" and the dominance & assimilation of European Christian culture over ethnic and religious minorities in the united states turns out to actually be a Canadian immigrant who used to work for Ezra Levant's far-right Rebel Media, whose alums also include Faith Goldy, Gavin Mcinnes & former tradwife Lauren Southern. 43:40 - Seth Rogen returns to the front of the camera with his new Apple TV+ show "The Studio", a comedy satirizing the hollywood film industry starring rogen as a lifelong movie fan who becomes head of a major film studio, and featuring cameos from stars like catherine o'hara, kathryn hahn, adam scott, martin scorsese, and others, undoubtedly drawing on Rogen's long experience in the hollywood system. hopefully Jay Baruchel pops up as well! 01:01:02 - Daredevil: Born Again episode three: is the show actually doing an ACAB show criticizing the police at a structural level, through incorporating the real-world use of the punisher logo and ethos by some police officers? tags: politics, american politics, queer rights, LGBT rights, transphobia, transgender, canadian, canadian politics, canadian podcasts

8. Indigenous Resistance & The Haka Protest in NZ Parliament

In this episode I discuss the now viral protest in the New Zealand Parliament by indigenous Māori MP’s. Led by Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, members primarily belonging to the Te Pati Māori party used the Haka, a traditional dance, to express their outrage at the far-right ACT New Zealand’s ‘Treaty Principles Bill’, which seems to extinguish indigenous rights in the country by redefining the country’s foundational Treaty of Waitangi as actually affording indigenous rights to all citizens of New Zealand/Aotearoa, in contradiction to how the treaty has been interpreted for the entirety of the country’s history.
