Tired and politically juvenile

“At first, the podcast appears relatively novel. There are few programs within the board gaming hobby which offer substantive analysis. Mike and Mark display thoughtful critiques throughout multiple episodes. The problem isn’t that they — mostly Mark — get reflexively sidetracked by political commentary. The problem is: their commentary is politically juvenile.
They — mostly Mark — possess the kind of boiler plate, deconstructionist talking points you would expect from a first-year political science major. It’s tired and unimaginative. It’s cookie cutter rhetoric we have all heard a thousand times across every possible topic. It’s genuflecting shows of virtue that are amplified across Board Game Geek ad naseum. Yet, we are assured that these “conversations” aren’t happening often enough. In their effort to carve out a “social commentary” niche, they wind up making the show passé and redundant.
It’s unnecessary. It’s bland. And — to top it off — it’s incorrect. False anthropology does not equal “cultural respect”. A sad case study in wasted potential.”
