There is nothing I love more than a role where Channing Tatum gets to be a hot but insecure dweeb! 😍😂⚽🎭 Check out the newest episode at shows.acast.com/movies-we-di... or wherever you like to get your podcasts.

okay, if you think gAI is a positive, that its "here to stay", and you're so proud of using gAI to write create art, claim it. Disclose when you use it to read, write, think, create. Have the integrity to publicly declare that you used gAI--its all the silence and secrecy that is so interesting.

If you squint really hard, this almost works as a reception of archaeology (one of the four fields of anthropology) in pop media. Regardless, we had a great time discussing this film and doing our best Thermian accents. Except me. I failed.

Thank you so much to everyone that helped make this special #Takeover episode covering #Epic The Musical possible! @mythsbaby.bsky.social took a big chance on the premise and @joegoodkin.bsky.social and @sentantiq.bsky.social were the perfect duo to discuss this modern retelling!

So thrilled to have @voguearchaeology.bsky.social host a takeover episode to talk all things Epic! Today’s episode features the perfect guests, @sentantiq.bsky.social and @joegoodkin.bsky.social and endless insights into the musical (and the Odyssey)!

Had a blast talking about Epic with @voguearchaeology.bsky.social and @sentantiq.bsky.social as part of Liv’s @mythsbaby.bsky.social podcast. Come for the reception talk, stay for the preponderance of 90’s music references.

Loving this episode from @mythsbaby.bsky.social! Applying #archaeology to our understanding and interpretation of mythological women is just the best! I cannot wait to get my hands on Emily Hauser's boom Mythica/Penelope's Bones.

We packed our bags with recording equipment and made our way to the annual meeting of CAMWS to talk about the 2024 Netflix show, KAOS. Filling in for Colin as co-host is fan favorite @apistone.bsky.social, and our special guest for this episode is our first ever live audience! #AncientBluesky

While we might be at an academic conference, we can't help but do things the Movies We Dig way by drinking wine and dropping f-bombs throughout our analysis of #KAOS. We hope y'all enjoy the discussion as much as we did! Available now wherever you get your #podcasts! #AncientBluesky

And if you want to hear our initial takes on #KAOS with @apistone.bsky.social, check out this episode from October of last year! #AncientBluesky #Podcast

The context in which academics work is a political one--as is the context for any labor/ profession. And as people who think for a living, academics will explore that context. But it's the exploration that meets the mission, not the outcome. 12/

The S3 finale of The White Lotus being titled "Amor Fati" feels appropriate for this particular moment in time. Anyone else watching the finale? #TheWhiteLotus

And something about Freemasons? Seriously weird film, but always fun to chat with awesome guests like @baladria.bsky.social! Find the latest episode here: shows.acast.com/movies-we-di...

We talk cannibal cats, abused camera men and why Anubis is actually a good boy who did nothing wrong. #Archaeology #Horror #Podcast #ThePyramid #Anubis #catscratch #zombiesquestionmark And maybe take a moment to feed your cats. Just to be safe.

🎉NEW ARTICLE! Alexandra Sills (@belovedofoizys.bsky.social) reviews All Roads Lead to Rome, the new book by @rhigarthjones.bsky.social "...a book of dizzying scope, covering multiple empires and the men within them who couldn’t shake Rome." www.workingclassicists.com/zine/book-re...

OOPS. I searched out @mythsbaby.bsky.social and @voguearchaeology.bsky.social AFTER I hit post. THANK YOU for this discussion folks - it's SO good and so important.

Great first day at #CAMWS! We had a chance to check out a reception panel that was *chef's kiss*. Time to enjoy some amazing wine and Italian food at the nearby Napoli's. Come say hi!

"My brethren, soldiers may leap out of that statue tonight and kill me, but what’s leaping out at me right now is our total disregard for norms. What you see as an enemy threat, I see as a one-of-a-kind statue of a mare."

I am very excited to be a part of this @antiquitymedia.bsky.social panel! It's the first time I'll be talking about popular reception in an academic setting instead of just on the @movieswedig.bsky.social podcast. Who else will be attending #CAMWS2025 this year? #Academicsky #AncientBluesky

#Archaeology #Books Archaeology with Flint Dibble Decoding archaeology with Raven Todd DaSilva @flintdibble.bsky.social chats with @digitwithraven.bsky.social about her new book: The Other Ancient Civilisations: Decoding Archaeology’s Less Celebrated Cultures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfCk...

BMI is based on anti-Black race science....would highly recommend Da'Shaun L. Harrison 's incredible work....here are passages from their book 'Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness' they have also spoken about this on many podcasts, if u prefer that medium

Another great video from Philosophy Tube!

It's a rare occurrence on the show, but the whole MWD crew and the lovely guest Wren fully "dig" #Epic the Musical! See what we have to say about it in our latest episode! #AncientBluesky

Lizzo has paid tribute to classical myth and iconography in her music videos before, so I’m always excited to see what she does. And look at this! She takes a wronged woman narrative and turns things around. (Thread)

If you need a fun listen, check out this episode! We all love this new take on the Odyssey! And if you've not listened to #Epic yet, hopefully this will convince you to do so. #AncientBluesky

Part 2 of my conversation with @mythsbaby.bsky.social is now available! If we start to sound frantic towards the end, well...(waves hand vaguely). #AncientBluesky

The nerve of some European/Western countries to just show up in a boat and act like they own the place! 😕

I am a little shocked to see my alma mater Whitman College on this list. Mostly because it's just a small private college in eastern Washington. Hopefully it will react better than Columbia has thus far. The attack on higher education from this administration is truly horrifying.

Twitter down, a preemptive welcome to all my new followers. The rules are, alt-text your pics, don’t be dicks.

As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is. Any Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves. Our community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.

Since it's Women's History Month, I want to share a few quotes from bell hooks' text, Feminist Theory from Margin to Center. A term the general public THINKS it knows but rarely actually understands is "feminism". A quick 🧵:

many Americans love Trump more than they love their own family members. When forced to choose, breaking off from Trump is more painful for them.

Editing this episode was both rage-inducing and deeply satisfying. Part 2 next week because GODS we had a lot to say. Listen wherever you find podcasts (and ad free via my Patreon Oracle Edition!)

There is some much awful going on right now. This is my silver lining. Never did I think my research looking at women's role in ancient medicine would be so timely and (I guess) controversial. Give this @mythsbaby.bsky.social episode a listen and stay tuned for more! #AncientBluesky #Archaeology

We are so excited to finally have this conversation with @flintdibble.bsky.social! While we might not think much of The Lost City of Z, the conversation about #archaeology is excellent! Check out the newest episode at movieswedig.com or wherever you like to listen.

We are a huge fan of @digitwithraven.bsky.social's book! If you enjoy #archaeology, get your paws on The Other Ancient Civilisations now!

Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, grab your favorite smutty romance book and map of questionable origins as we explore a chaotically-fun film!

Petrify the Patriarchy Finally finished my Medusa drawing! I love the final product. It's always a fantastic feeling be content with a piece as an artist. Can't wait to make prints and stickers of her. #art #illustration #feminism
