Following this Season Seven focus on Communicating Fears in Film, cohosts Garret Castleberry and Scott McMurry pause to reflect on the season, examine course themes, and assess past and future potentialities for Special Topics in Media. In an homage to academic form, the dialogic duo engage in a bit of scholarly form that includes reviewing season seven's themes (00:54), the methods used to engage media analytically (7:42), a classical practice of peer review (23:21), an examination of formal arrangements aptly titled revise and resubmit (29:50), and finally Garret and Scott consider scholarly gaps (36:38) that recalls content left on the curriculum design cutting room floor.
