The most common question we get asked is "what is empathy?" Our answer? It’s the consistent decision to understand yourself and others so that we can all have fuller and richer human experiences. It’s a simple statement with a lot of complicated implications. We love complications, to be honest, because the more complicated something is, it’s usually more real. In this light, we’ve designed a 2-day virtual masterclass to dig into some of what it looks like to do the work of empathy. We’ll have discussions about inclusivity, how everyone has trauma and none of it is comparable, how to set boundaries and why the Puritans were and are the worst, and more. It’s us and some special guests for this interactive experience. The next round is February 24 and 25, 2022 and you don’t want to miss it. Head to bit.ly/ARmasterclass to sign up. See you there!

Hope you all did your homework by watching Hulu's Dopesick because we are talking about the Sackler family and their relationship with the arts. More specifically Bianca takes us through a chapter of her thesis on The Dinner Party and discusses The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art— the person who acquired the piece and the space it is permanently housed in. Stick around to listen to our thoughts on how art was used as a tool to suggest the Sackler’s status and how acts of protest took place in influential museum spaces both IRL and in the show.

Vegas Film Critic (Jeffrey K Howard) speaks with creator and executive producer Danny Strong for the series, Dopesick on Hulu. 

After leaving us the other morning for his "Real Friends", Quad returns for good. While walking the trail of tears, he got lost in a world of Schmigadoon (or something like that on AppleTV) and realizes his true strength on the show is not his TV/Move knowledge. 

Neighbor Cole Geeks out about more Alone on Hulu, America's Forgotten Heroes, a podcast that you can't watch, but you can (and must) listen to, and teases something about he and codename Lady Charmin before bringing a Sling Blade to our Weekly Watch Party.

Ginger is kind of Meh about Suicide Squad and Jungle Cruise, but comes around through conversation.  He's not excited about the Addams Family casting in Netflix's 'Wednesday' series coming from Tim Burton for various reasons. 

We wrap the show up with talk about the trailers for Hulu's upcoming mini-series, Dopesick, starring Michael Keaton and Rosario Dawson. Cole almost screams himself out of his chair during the first 30 seconds of HBOmax's Malignant, and Quad is coming to terms with his feelings about women kicking butt after watching the trailer for Netflix's upcoming Kate.
