Les mer Unwrapping The Mistle-Tones

A Christmas deep dive nobody asked for... but you’ll be glad exists. Unwrapping The Mistle-Tones is a smart, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt look at a made-for-TV Christmas musical. Host Nick Jaworski (Where There's Smoke, Shame Rules) uses the 2012 ABC Family movie The Mistle-Tones to explore race, grief, work, nostalgia, and the magic of the American mall. Featuring experts in psychology, sociology, and music culture, this is a holiday show for anyone who loves pop-culture analysis, storytelling, and delightfully overthinking the things we love.

episode “You’re Just Not Snow Belle Material." cover

“You’re Just Not Snow Belle Material."

Today, we’re asking a tough question: What exactly does it mean to be "Snow Belle Material"? We're diving deep into the racial politics of the movie and the tragic, true history of a forgotten American musical icon named Mama Lou. Thanks to Dr. A.D. Carson.

episode “That’s All I Remember of Her.” cover

“That’s All I Remember of Her.”

In our first episode, we're not only figuring out how to make this thing, but we're also exploring whether or not Joseph Campbell's monomyth (aka "The Hero's Journey") can help us understand perhaps the central theme of The Mistle-Tones: grief. Thanks to Dr. Candi Cann! For more information about what's done done and what she's doing next, visit www.deathscholar.com [www.deathscholar.com]. Thanks to Jason Rogel for both speaking with me, but also kinda blindly accepting what this whole project is.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
