Apres Culture

This week, with special guest April Maguire, we’re spoiling the heck out of a pair of zeitgeist-y TV shows. We talk rape, CGI, fan theories, and zombie Jon Snow in an uneven season of Game of Thrones. Then we dig into OITNB’s twisty treatment of its very human characters, the importance of faith this season, a much smarter and more considered treatment of rape, and one very unfortunate lapse in the show’s usually smart approach to racial stereotypes. Pull up a chair and keep an eye on that one kid who SO CLEARLY RESENTS YOUR NEW WILDLING POLICIES—it’s time for Après Culture.
