atlantics

In this episode of Water we discuss a hauntingly poignant tale by French director, Mati Diop. Her masterpiece, Atlantics, is a refreshingly unexpected story that we both consider a must watch. Join us as we break down the duality of water as both a comfort and a threat and the way it centers the movie. Yes, we talk about the love story that lies at the surface, but we also discuss the way in which this story is a meditation on possession of the female body, the physical stress of socio-economic disparity, and colonialism in Senegal. 

The origins of baseball, America's most cherished pastime, are often seen obscured through a magical fog of legend and myth - and we're sick of it! Alex Smith (writer of They Create Worlds and host of the They Create Worlds podcast) helps Nate separate fact from fiction on this whirlwind tour of the early history of baseball. Did baseball really come from a British game called rounders? When did they decide on three strikes and four balls? And is there a lazier team name than the "Portland Portlanders"? Find your seat in the grandstand, hunker down with your favorite boiled meat snack, and enjoy this sporting episode of the Memory Machine!
