In this Nutty Bit, I recorded (on Saturday July 29, 2017) a quick and dirty mini episode today about my adventures with makeup. Stay with me, this is more about my reaction to the world I’m living in and I love it.
It seems like Strong Female Characters are on the rise again. Nuchtchas and Laura Nicole are joined by Tek and Jason to talk about it. First of all, why are we seeing a resurgence of the strong woman? Which characters are the most relevant to our experiences? Thanks to the past popularity of strong female representation, society has changed, as a result those characters of the past don’t hold up to today’s standards. We also talk tropes too, especially what we like seeing in female characters, and what don’t we like seeing in female characters? Who are some of your favorite female characters?
In recent years we have seen Nostalgia Exploited to a gross degree. Nuchtchas, Tek, Jason, & Jen got together to discuss when Nostalgia works, and when it is a blatant exploit to suck dollars out of geeks.
Nutty Bites 104: Red Like Roses, RWBY Discussion from Balticon 51
RWBY is near and dear to our hearts, so Nuchtchas, Tek, Jen, & Jason joined the forces of Nutty Bites and Talk Nerdy 2 Me to discuss it at Balticon. Proving once again that these two podcasts share the same interests. This is the recording of that discussion. We talk about the series as a whole, the difference post Monty, and what we really thought about Vol 4. What did you think of Vol 4? What do you think about the show in general? Let us know for the next installment.
Nutty Bites 103: Intro to Ghibli – Whisper of the Heart
Whisper of the Heart is about growing up, the creative process, the work it takes to achieve your goals, and it’s a love story. Nuchtchas, Tek, and Jen are all newbies on this film, guided through by Jason.
Intro to Ghibli, a new regular segment of Nutty Bites and the Talk Nerdy 2 Me Podcasts. Jen & Jason guide newbies Nuchtchas & Tek through the movies of Studio Ghibli. We are starting with the Hayao Miyazaki films in order(ish), just bumping My Neighbor Totoro to the first. Once we finish those we will hit up the Isao Takahata films, then the Ghibli films without either director, then two non Ghibli Miyazaki films, and we also have some bonus shorts to sprinkle throughout.
I also thanks all the patrons who made this episode possible. If you’d like to contribute go to my Patreon Page and donate to the show and next month I’ll be thanking you.
