In a world of adapted comic book characters and stories, reborn old franchises, and endless brand-excavation of old TV shows, toys, and video games, our entertainment culture is something different than we've previously seen.
“I.P.'s” are dug up repurposed endlessly, in order to try and make a ...

Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 25, 2018Quackcast 358 - Damaged Characters
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2018 LISTEN!
This week we mine Banes's ideas about damaged protagonists. Does having physiologically damaged protagonists (as opposed to merely flawed), make them more realistic or relatable? I think we came to the conclusion that this isn't necessarily the case at all, in fact it can mean the opposite ...

The Origin Stories of Webcomics | Part 1
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 19, 2018

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Dec. 15, 2017

The Main Character Decoy
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 25, 2017
One reason why the movie Psycho is so iconic is, aside the expert directing and artistic cinematography, the fact that the one we’re led to believe is the main character of the movie gets brutally killed in the shower quite early into the movie.
What did killing her off ...
Quackcast 349 - Bad Gods
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 21, 2017 LISTEN!
This is the Quackcast where I get things wrong! Haha, I DO love to imagine that I know everything but fortunately Tantz and Pit are there to correct me! For this Quackcast I was thinking about the way we assign villains when there's a religious theme or anything ...
