Illogical Political Critiques
Let’s start with the good — the three hosts are intelligent, have good chemistry, and are willing to go deeper than most other mainstream outlets. The Hogwarts Legacy episode is emblematic of the political issues which often mar these conversations. Maddie in particular has the strange idea that if an artist doesn’t support the “shipping” of their characters, it’s valid to critique the work for that. She’s levied this charge against both the “Harry Potter” and “Bayonetta” franchises. It’s bizarre to complain that if art / storytelling doesn’t match your personal head cannon, that that is a failure on the part of the artist / work. The fact that “Harry Potter” isn’t about a trans witch using magic to alter their body … isn’t a legitimate critique. The fact that two characters you’d like to be lesbians, aren’t? Not a valid critique. Art doesn’t owe anything to your personal agenda. It’s fine to enjoy things that you align closely with, but to find fault with expressions that don’t perfectly match your own is weird. Artists / storytellers are perfectly within their rights to say “your theory is wrong — the characters I’ve invented aren’t who you say they are.” Art is open to interpretation, but it isn’t a “choose your own adventure”.

I am not a fan of the new format of the show. I felt like the Splitscreen format was refined over many years of iteration to find what worked best. Why throw that out? There is no need to rethink everything that took you years to perfect. It’s like a great restaurant getting rid of all of its...Read full review »
