Episode 13 of Pop Culture Case Study - Alien and Female Empowerment

In this episode, Dave discusses the "Strong Female Character."  Is it a good or a bad thing?  Can it be both?  In order to do this, he watches maybe the original strong female character, or at the very least, the first female action hero badass.  Ellen Ripley in Alien is definitely the original female action hero.  He also details research on gender inequity in film and television.  You know, keepin it light :) Listen!

Episode 62 of Pop Culture Case Study - The Terminator and Fight or Flight

In this episode, Dave watches The Terminator to get the bad taste of Terminator: Genisys out of his mouth.  Yikes!  Remember when this series was good?  Let's go back in time to 1984!  You see what I did there?  Anyway, a very tired Britt joins us for Fangirl Fixation to find out if the original holds up.  After this, Dave teaches you a bit about humans natural reaction to stress, the fight-or-flight reflex.  And of course, we tie it into the situation of poor Sarah Connor in The Terminator.
