Nutty Bites 85: Intro to Ghibli - My Neighbor TotoroNutty Bites 85: Intro to Ghibli – My Neighbor Totoro

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. Starting with My Neighbor Totoro, we bumble our way through figuring out how this form of IntroCast works.

I’m also really pleased with the show art, I drew this of the four of us with Totoro. I will be using this art for all of the Intro to Ghibli episodes because the imagry from this movie has become so iconic of studio Ghibli. You can look forward to a future post about this Daily Creativity piece on it’s own.

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. I read the names at the beginning of this episode, I am still getting a feel for how this patreon thing is working. Let me know if you like it at the beginning of the show, or the end? Thanks!

Nutty Bites 83 – Whitewashing in Hollywood

Nutty Bites 83: Whitewashing in Hollywood

Nutty Bites - Whitewashing in HollywoodNuchtchas, Tek, Jason (Podcasting’s Heartthrob), Claire, & Shane, gather to talk about the pervasive problem of Whitewashing in Hollywood. That’s right, four white people and one person of color tackle this topic, are we part of the problem? Likely.  Listen as we get enraged and try to play devil’s advocate but still can’t understand why this is still a thing.

Also included an Englishman saying Benidact Cumberbatch :) And the explanation of how Into Darkness didn’t have Kahn.

Yes we understand, but didn’t clearly state till we turned off the recording, that yes Ben Kingsley is part Indian but he is so white passing and they used brown face on him when he played Ghandi. I suppose it was progressive casting for the time, but we still aren’t happy.

We make some mistakes, and leave some stuff out, but that’s what happens when you are impassioned about a topic. Some people may say this isn’t a big deal, but this panel of geeks all seem to think it is a big deal.

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.

What makes a good revival and what makes a painful revival. Some special features include comparing Fuller House to Girl Meets world, and talking about the best TV Show Revivals like Red Dwarf, Veronica Mars, and Doctor Who. We also discover that Nutty really needs to watch Twin Peaks. Listen and tell us your thoughts, what shows do you want to see come back and what shows just need to stay gone for good?

Women in Fiction - Nutty BitesWomen in Fiction, the first of a few podcasts on Nutty Bites that discusses the topic of gender and fiction. In this episode Nuchtchas, Philippa “Pip” Balentine, and Melissa Bartell, discuss the concept of girl books, chick lit, and gendered fiction. They discuss how irrelevant these concepts are and how to combat the idea.

This is also the first episode created since the Nutty Bites Patreon campaign has been launched. Listen till the end to learn more about the campaign, the goals, and reward levels, including a limited time/quantity reward level!  Also this is the first time I read the names of the patrons on the podcast to thank them. This time it was in order of pledge.
