    The Blerdz Exploring Adult Animation

    The Blerdz Exploring Adult Animation

    Ever reminisce about the "kid-friendly" cartoons from your youth, only to discover their secret adult edge? The Iron Blerds crew – Zeref, Azarie, and the 'drop the 07' Blackstar – invite you to walk down memory lane, unpacking the covert grown-up gags in shows like "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" and "Daria." As we chuckle over the unexpected maturity in "Regular Show" and "Adventure Time," we'll peel back the layers of animation that simultaneously charmed our past and present selves.

    Animations aren't just background noise—they're the soundtracks to our lives. Join us as we champion the unsung heroes of animated series; from "Hazbin Hotel's" character-driven escapades to "Bob's Burgers'" Tina Belcher, who might just steal the spotlight in her own spin-off. Our exchange is sprinkled with personal favorites, like the heart-tugging performances in "Carmilla," and the hilariously poignant "Bless the Harts." We don't just  discuss the characters we love; we debate their potential to lead narratives themselves.

    Strap yourselves in for a final whirlwind discussion on the transformative power of myth in animation and how shows like "Hasbin Hotel" ask us to contemplate our own cosmic fate. With a playful yet contemplative tone, we explore controversial themes and the rich layers of personal growth mirrored in both mythical creatures and the all-too-human characters within these shows. By the end, we're not just talking animated worlds – we're discussing how we see ourselves within them. So tune in, and let's animate the conversation together.

    Unmasking Superhero Diversity

    Unmasking Superhero Diversity

    Is Hollywood's approach to race-swapping a leap towards diversity or a misguided attempt at inclusivity? Join us, Azarie, Zeref, Iceenotes, and Snow the protagonist, as we dissect the intricacies of this complex issue. From the authenticity of reimagining beloved characters to the creation of original roles, we examine specific castings like  The Little Mermaid, and debate whether these decisions truly serve the communities they intend to represent or if they're simply a consolation prize.

    The capes and cowls of superhero films have become a battleground for representation, and we're here to unravel why. Delve into the contrasting public reception of Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie and Anthony Mackie's Captain America, as we explore the challenge these diverse casting choices pose to traditional American identity. The episode peels back the layers on the historical and changing portrayal of Black heroes in the media, inviting you to consider whether criticism against such representation overlooks their deep comic book roots.

    Finally, this episode doesn't shy away from confronting the stubborn myth that minority-led ensembles won't perform at the box office. Our conversation challenges the repetitive nature of 'cookie-cutter' productions and the rarity of original characters in major franchises. We don't just stop at the 'too woke' criticism either, emphasizing the importance of involving communities for authentic stories and the necessity of carving out inclusive spaces in media. Tune in as we navigate the complexities of representation and advocate for an industry that's educated and open-minded.
