Saving Criticism from the Corporate Marketing Machine

Published: Nov. 19, 2020, 5 p.m.

b'Cultural criticism has always been an essential part of our media ecosystem, especially when it comes to geek culture. And on the surface, it\\u2019s thriving. Every blog, every YouTube video essay channel, every op-ed page of every major publication pontificates on very important questions like \\u201cIs Wonder Woman a feminist icon?\\u201d \\u201cDid Thor fat-shame me?\\u201d and \\u201cIs Super Mario a queer ally?\\u201d But is any of this really meaningful, or is it just another part of the big corporate content marketing machine? In this episode, we\\u2019re talking to Kurt Schiller, editor of Blood Knife, on how we can\\u2014and must\\u2014create media analysis that goes sharper and deeper.
