35. Columbus: The Grand Voyage

YAR, MATEYS! In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we’re tearing to shreds Adventures in Odyssey’s awful episode celebrating colonialism: COLUMBUS: THE GRAND VOYAGE. The historical inaccuracy is as offensive as it is hysterically stupid, and Pigeon — our resident history degree holder — has the receipts. Join us on our own grand voyage through all the white Christian supremacist baloney that is this episode. Discussion topics include: -3-2-1 Penguins -Phil Lollar’s war against fun -Lawrence Hodges is canonically closeted -Lesbian Queen Isabella at Christian school -Isabella and Ferdinand were UGGOS! -Pigeon and Percy nerd out further on Spanish history (sorry) -Whit storyboarding child abuse for the Imagination Station -Third-layer God!
