Interesting to note that a few of these took the same tactic of "we had a fun idea for the final moment years ago, but didn't adapt it to the changing context of the several seasons of character development in between".

Yep, I've got a History degree and the lessons from it are far less predictive of what will happen in contemporary society than Gender Studies and Critical Race Theory, which are like that sports almanac in Back to the Future II.

Fantastic new @magic.wizards.com set trailer with puppetry by the Jim Henson Company! Even if you aren't a Magic player, a fun little song to enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCQ5...

Our show returns next week as we enroll in Intro to Media Studies with @jotorresbarth.bsky.social! It's the first in our new "Class Notes" mini-series, complete with its own new intro music. 🎓

The soundtracks to Chris's book are fantastic companions to the text (which also happened to be one of my favorite books of 2025!). Hear us talk about indie rock, The OC, the growing field of MySpace Studies, and Kranzberg's Six Laws of the History of Technology here: youtu.be/aT0uTQ4NdRc?...

My sincerest apologies to everyone I'm circling back to today.

*E.P. Thompson has entered the chat*

We were honored to contribute to this, there is so much great work included this and every week in #ScholarSunday (and sometimes Wednesday). It was hard to pick one, but we had to go with the guy whose book we named the show after!

If you haven't heard it already, our predictions for the end of #StrangerThings can be heard in both our season 1 episode on the Satanic Panic AND our recent bonus "Best Of" episode. The Satanic Panic episode is on YT, and all our episodes are on ad-free on all podcast apps. youtu.be/FE9dTPua_sg?...

I believe these are the same ones mentioned in my interview with BDM. Hear about cookie recipes and so much more in our talk about fandom studies and #mtg! And don't worry, you don't have to be a lifelong gamer to enjoy this one. 😁 youtu.be/CK0I_ShSYL4?...

Including a piece by former guest Dr. Lauro! Can't wait to check this book out, but make sure you all check out our episode on the cultural history of zombies! It might come up again later in the season... youtu.be/-as825gbnvo?...

Proof that Nicole Kidman exists outside of the concept of linear time, like the Observers.

HoFCast is on holiday break while we work on the next batch of episodes, but make sure to check out our past episodes, available ad-free wherever you listen to podcasts! We'll be back in two weeks with @jotorresbarth.bsky.social! Check out our guest starter pack as well! go.bsky.app/GdRX8PP

Here’s today’s #ScholarSunday thread for the brunch crowd. Please share widely! @jbf1755.bsky.social 🗃️

"The Wicker Man" (1973)

Hayes Code, Comics Code Authority, PMRC, ESRB- if anyone has a book or wants to talk about how America spent a hundred years letting cultural industries police themselves, let me know. 🤔

Name your favourite film that nobody else knows about.

Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union could do HEAT, but Pacino and De Niro couldn't do BRING IT ON.

Mask of the Phantasm is a masterpiece, serving as both a Batman origin story and a defining adventure. All of the threads of his life, personal or otherwise, come together and clash explosively amid the ruins of a future that will never be.

"Gremlins" is a Christmas movie. "Gremlins 2" is a perfect movie.

There may be something rotten in the state of Denmark, but it sure isn't in the Danish Butter Cookie factory 🤤

Being treated with a lot of hostility for fact-checking "Do They Know it's Christmas?"

It's Christmas Eve Eve & we're traveling back to 1978 & CHRISTMAS EVE ON SESAME STREET! It was a time when loving your fellow man (& Muppet) was encouraged! @bellacissa.bsky.social joins me to talk PBS, Sesame history, GenX childhood & MORE! OUT NOW podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c... #sesamestreet

Make sure you don't miss our recent holiday episode about how The Cold War changed Christmas with @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social! And if you want to do something nice for us this holiday, just leave the show a rating and review on the podcast app of your choice! 😁 youtu.be/JxTBiLdeKFI?...

Here is Scholar Sunday, promoting the episode of our show wherein we promote Scholar Sunday, which regularly promotes us...

Two great episodes for you this week, including our HoFCast holiday special with @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social and a Season 1 Best Of! Both are available now wherever you listen to podcasts!

I mean, good on him for the effort, but this is like me trying to teach my dog about Gramsci

@talkinghenry.bsky.social @bobservo.bsky.social On Lisa's Rival, when Homer says God lives on a sugar plantation in Hawaii, I wonder if that is supposed to be a Fantasy Island reference? I was hoping you guys would know and mention it in the show, but I assumed Homer would think Mr. Roarke is God.

Don't forget to check out this week's interview with @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social about how the Cold War changed Christmas! No new episode next week as we settle in for a warm winter's nap, but there is a BONUS episode coming out Thursday! youtu.be/JxTBiLdeKFI?...

NEW EPISODE ALERT! This week, @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social comes on the show to talk about Christmas on film, and how Hollywood and the Cold War reshaped our view of the holidays! Hear about holiday movies of the past, present, and future PLUS common holiday questions answered! youtu.be/JxTBiLdeKFI?...

We light the first Hanukkah candle this evening, but we could all use some light right now, so here’s my 254th #ScholarSunday thread of public scholarly writing, podcasts, new & forthcoming books from last week. Add more below, share widely, & solidarity, all.🗃️ blackwhiteandread.com/scholarsunda...

This week's episode hits on two of the primary themes of this season: "The End of History" and "Catnip for Millennials".

I am asking for your help. For a future talk, I‘ll need a movie scene where books are being burned to condemn the content and judge the author. Medieval and early modern, even 19c would be fine. What movies would you recommend or remember? Thanks so much. #skystorians #BookBurning #bookhistory

Don't forget to check out this week's all-new episode with returning guest @ptklein.com! We discuss The End of History as seen through 1995's #GoldenEye (as well as the iconic #N64 game). NEXT WEEK: @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social teaches everyone the meaning of Christmas. youtu.be/_1TbIejcyoI?...

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Returning guest @ptklein.com is here to talk about all things #GoldenEye! We discuss #Bond as a media-mix franchise, remaking 007 for the 90s, and OF COURSE the iconic #N64 adaptation. This episode is more fun than 4 player Remote Mines in the Temple! youtu.be/_1TbIejcyoI?...

Thanks for including mine and @dianearodgers.bsky.social' episode on @historyonfilm.bsky.social Ben!

Don't miss this week's episode! What other show gives you Textual Poachers AND a potential real-life Wicker Man?

A book I keep thinking about is @dabnet.bsky.social's The American Robot, and how so much of technology has been used to reinforce rather than challenge the status quo. I was so happy to get to talk to him about it, and it just keeps getting more relevant. shows.acast.com/the-history-...
