Fri, 13 Jan 2023 22:54:17 GMT

Trigger/Content Warning: Race and Police Brutality come up for just a second in this episode of Taxi, and we discuss how nonsensical it was. The discussion lasts for just about 2 minutes, but it's there.

This week on the podcast, Leo and Tim dive into "Taxi," an ensemble sitcom about a group of cab drivers that work for a tyrannical boss played by Danny DeVito. We discuss strangely intense jokes, Christopher Lloyd's almost universal appeal, and why sitcoms were so politically and socially intense in the 1970s. Does this episode hold up? Tune in and find out!

In their debut, Viewpoints multimedia editor Tim Nacey (he/him) and editor-in-chief Leo Cabral (they/them) watched the memorable episode “The Outcast” from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” The 17th episode in the fifth season confronts gender and its limitations between the Starship Enterprise crew and an “androgynous race called the J’naii.” Tim and Leo get into the nitty-gritty of how the show handles gender, representation, and what it means in the real world.
