Listen "016 - What is Fantasy?"
Episode Synopsis
Gen and Jette breakdown - or at least try to breakdown - the Fantasy genre.
Show Notes:
Harry Potter mention counter – Gen kept it to a very minimal EIGHT (with one bonus Supernatural mention)
The Raven Cycle – For the record, Gen was incredibly chill about this in this episode (so super chill)
Are you afraid of capaill uisce?
Nicolas Hoult is playing Tolkien.
So… Bowie and a 12 year old Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth – creepy?
Star Trek versus Star Wars – what genre do you think they are?
Umbrella Academy – fair – this one is on Jette. UA counter – ONE
Clearly Superhero stories are a genre unto themselves.
What the heck is The Big Rock Candy Mountain?
Bedknobs and Broomsticks holds up.
