Listen "47: “Sense and Sensitivity” (Angel S1E6)"
Episode Synopsis
Content Warning: discussion of police brutality, acts of violence, and racism
“No, I don't think 'urgh' is the magic word, if one would *call* it a word. And even then it's certainly not a magic one."
The Scooby Duo rip into this episode that plays police brutality and sensitivity training for laughs. Kara’s background as a prosecutor really comes in handy illuminating some of the realities of the criminal justice system. The wide ranging tangents include: infomercials, Mad Men, Nickelodeon Slime, Jane Austen, media depictions of daddy issues, Herb Saunders from Baltimore, gangsters at the gym, rape culture, diet culture, the patriarchy (of course), the history of policing, art vs. commerce, David Tenant, and weasely lawyers, and we have a Still Slaying first, a double “Does Not Still Slay.”
Next time, we’ll be covering Buffy, Season 4, Episode 6, “Wild at Heart.”
Be a rainbow… not a painbow.
Keep Slaying!
