Over The Lit-Knitters

“The Lit-Knitters” podcast, hosted by Jace Einfeldt, Sam Jacob, and Preston Thatcher, 'knits' great works of literature together with popular TV shows, films, or anything else from pop culture. Whether a poem, a character, or entire novel, “The Lit-Knitters” not only connects our world of TV to literature in unexpected ways, but also discusses why those books still matter. http://podcastlab.byu.edu/podcast/the-lit-knitters/ https://twitter.com/litknitterspod

Episode 10 - Cartoonized Evil and the Constraints of Empathy: Maus and Jojo Rabbit

Midway through Season 2 of The Lit-Knitters, Sam, Jace, and Preston reconvene over Zoom to discuss the 2019 film Jojo Rabbit, directed by Taika Waititi, alongside Art Spiegelman's renowned graphic novel Maus. In the episode, the guys discuss  ways in which satire either extends, limits, or abuses the power of empathy, and the degree to which "cartoonizing" evil can both prevent evil and rectify its damages and horrors.  Email us on our gmail (litknitterspod@gmail.com) or follow us on Twitter or Instagram (@litknitterspod) if you have comments, questions, or suggestions! We'd love to hear from you!  New Yorker review of Jojo Rabbit by Richard Brody: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/springtime-for-nazis-how-the-satire-of-jojo-rabbit-backfires [https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/springtime-for-nazis-how-the-satire-of-jojo-rabbit-backfires] Intro music: www.bensounds.com Outro music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT-_O65c9T0 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT-_O65c9T0]

Episode 8 - Realism and Romanticism in War: 1917 and The Red Badge of Courage

In this episode, Sam, Jace, and Preston discuss the 2019 Oscar-Award-winning film 1917 (directed by Sam Mendes) and the 1895 American Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. They discuss both works in relation to the Romantic and Realism literary periods and philosophies related to those movements, the romantic and realistic elements of both works, and how both the film and the movie address the issue of honoring those who fought and died in WWI and the American Civil War. (SPOILERS FOR 1917 and warning for descriptions of war scenes in both works) Intro music: www.bensounds.com Outro music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0CXa69GMp4&feature=youtu.be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0CXa69GMp4&feature=youtu.be]

Episode 7 - Monstrous Anti-Heroes: Grendel and Shrek

Welcome to season 2 of The Lit-Knitters! Despite our lengthy hiatus, we're back in business with a new season full of great (albeit nerdy) connections between literature and movies/TV shows/music records/anything else we randomly think of! On this episode, we discuss anti-heroes, alternative fairy-tales, and monstrous apathy in Dreamwork's 2001 animated film Shrek and John Gardner's 1971 novel Grendel. In this episode, we also introduce a new co-host, Preston Thatcher. Preston is also a fellow student with us, Sam and Jace, and we're stoked to have him on the show! Thanks for sticking with us, and let us know what you think by emailing us at litknitterspod@gmail.com or hitting us up on our social media @litknitterspod.  DISCLAIMER: we recorded this episode about two and a half weeks ago before the coronavirus pandemic became more publicly widespread, so please view Jace's joke about the coronavirus in that light. THANKS!
