This tv show finally gives us didacticism done correctly, giving us an opportunity to discuss how complex issues can explored for a young audience. But among our very serious conversation, we also get VERY side-tracked talking Saturday Disney, netball and popular 90's children's names.

Is it any surprise that an episode about a children's show based on a card game based on a Manga leads to a great deal of frustration? If you're a fan of this classic Anime (like Kurt is) then you should be prepared to hear Jane complain about... pretty much everything! From the over-explained characterisations, indistinct motivations, to the basic assumption of children's stupidity that seems to be at the heart of this tv show. The words "This show is a waste of the time of everybody making it" appear in this episode - you've been warned.

The excerpts in this ep come from:

Episode 19 - in an episode that was technically about Crazyhead, we discuss the many haircuts of Thor, God of Thunder.

Episode 21 - Jane literally yells about male privilege and the patriarchy as related to Commander in Chief.

Episode 33 - Kurt explains faith-based reactions to painful life experiences in the From Dusk till Dawn episode.

Episode 14 - Some people lick faces... others don't. This fabulous discussion brought to you by Wonderfalls.

Episode 54 - Unsurprisingly, Kurt has diffiiculty distinguishing the names of the Charmed Ones.

Episode 39 - We use our exceptionally limited knowledge of philosophy to talk about The Trolley Problem, as brought up in The Good Place.

EPISODE NOTES:

Happy 2020! In this episode you will find some of the best excerpts from our old, hard-to-find episodes of Made You Look.

Unless you're one of our 12 original listeners (hey guys - we see you!) you've probably never heard these fabulous discussions. In this ep you will hear:

Episode 40 - Part of the epic ship-war we had over Veronica Mars (pre-season 4)

Episode 43 - Jane attempting to explain why she really hates Game of Thrones

Episode 32 - A discussion on the obscure and short-lived musical career of Australian actress Tammin Sursok

Episode 25 - Just some of the many complaints about the poor writing decisions in Smallville

Episode 45 - The origins of Jane and Kurts friendship, and how it pertains to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Next will be another clipshow, and then we'll be back with Season 8 on January 21.

In the lead up to the holiday season, we're looking at cultural celebrations outside of the standard Christmas episode, and Rugrats showed us both Hanukkah and Kwanzaa! In this episode we attempt to educate ourselves on both holidays (probably poorly, corrections welcome), and look at the the importance of family and community in different cultural celebrations. We also look at the role of didacticism in exploring diversity in children's entertainment, and spend a surprisingly long time looking at the plotting.

In the lead up to the holiday season, we're looking at cultural celebrations outside of the standard Christmas episode, and The Nanny gives us the perfect opportunity to look at Passover and Hanukkah. We also try to reexamine jokes that we found funny in our childhood, and try to work whether it's okay to laugh at other cultures if the jokes are written by people from that culture.

On a more technical note, we also discuss how lighting and cinematographic techniques can be used to create a sense of unease and unnaturalness, and how the exploration of character backstories help to push past tropes into complexity.

Revisit a familiar paradigm - Kurt (a former pentecostal Christian) trying to get Jane (a lifelong atheist and existentialist) to understand and enjoy shows with a strong biblical basis. This week on the pod we chat about storylines that lack a satisfying conclusion, trope-tastic retellings of myths and bible stories, and the unique combination of wooden acting and weird accents that makes this show... special.

This week we talk about demonising ambition in teenage girls, goofy plot mechanics that clash with the overall tone, and relationships that are immature, yet still strangely compelling.

This is a rough one for poor old Kurt when Jane really pulls apart one of his fave nostalgia-driven shows. Together we pull apart gaping plot holes, discuss secret identities as a coming-out analogy, and try futilely to connect Alexandre Dumas' literary works to this superpowered teen drama.

In this episode we're going to reflect on manifestations of trauma in children, growing up too fast, unconventional family dynamics and, most importantly, Charlie's hair. There's also an extensive reminiscence about pillow forts and sleeping in loungerooms, so sorry about that.

It gets a little heated in this episode, when we talk about distinctive yet consistent aesthetics, destructive relationships (and why Kurt gets such pleasure out of watching them) and how normalising different body types is essential in today's media.

This seminal coming-of-age tale brings about such topics as intricate friendship dynamics, painfully realistic character development and the inter-generational mimicry of gender dynamics. Don't worry, it's less heavy than it sounds.

In this episode Jane and Kurt talk about Zombies as an allegory for Xenophobia and Islamaphobia, disturbingly realistic depictions of bureaucratic nonsense, and how great worldbuilding can be completely dismantled by one tiny imperfect detail.
