Release Date: 10/06/2020

Description: The Game of Nerds Podcast is back! I'm so happy to announce that I'm returning to host the podcast that started it all. Over the past seven years, over a hundred writers, and I have created an entire written fandom library that we are so proud of. As we've entered 2020, we think it's time to create an entire audio library now. The goal is to create a podcast of all different fandoms, books, movies, games, shows, cosplayers, conventions, and more. Of course, I'm not an expert in all things nerds, so these episodes are great for fans who want to learn more about a specific topic in an hour. In this first episode, we are talking about The Game of Nerds. Jon Hicks and Natalie Griffin are the guests. They are veteran TGON writers, cosplayers, and general nerd bad-asses. We cover everything from their experiences with The Game of Nerds, the fandom life, and how much things have changed in the last few years. We even dive into our predictions for the next seven years. Don't worry Spaghetti Tuesdays are still a thing. Find out more about our amazing guests: Natalie GriffinHer TGON Articles can be found here!

The Game of Nerds Podcast #18: Cruella & Disney Villains

Release Date: 06/02/2021

Description: I'm sitting down with fellow mom and Disney Villians scholar Kaytie Ohashi on this episode of The Game of Nerds Podcast. Before we dive into the evil side of things, we chat briefly about what we've been obsessing over, including Falcon and Winter Solider. Kaytie recently got a ManiMe which makes custom-designed nails based on your nail size. We then jump into how Kaytie became known as the Disney scholar. This is, after all, our first podcast episode touching on Disney. Kaytie was completing her Master's program, and her instructor told her to do something different. So she did an entire mock podcast episode where she did a detailed character analysis on Regina Mills from Once Upon a Time. This hour and a half episode impressed her instructor so much that she decided to turn it into a podcast when she went on maternity leave. I ask here, though, why did she choose Villians? Since her background was in social work, she used Disney characters and Villains to describe various social identities in children and adults. As we all know, we aren't just one identity but made up of multiple identities. After seeing Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, the idea for the podcast only grew for her. What if we did not hear the Villians side of the story? We then jump into a rousing discussion of our favorite villains. For 90's kids, it's safe to say, Ursala, Jafar, Scar, Maleficent, The Evil Queen from Snow White, and Cruella top off the list. Gaston is usually also added to the list, but we talk about how he isn't really evil per se. There are really different levels of Villians. Some are true evil like Maleficent and Ursula, while others are just misguided or arrogant like Gaston. Captain Hook is one of those Villians that is somewhere in the middle. I ask the question all of us parents are dying to know, what's the deal with Pete? Is he a friend, or is he a foe? To childcare professionals like me, he sends such mixed signals. In one episode, Pete is our enemy and ruining everything, and in the next episode, we are helping him get coconuts. What's the deal? Kaytie believes that he's the Frenemy. He's the one you really don't want to be friends with but not enemies either. I bring up Marie's point from episode 13 that "Everyone is Mickey's Bitch" and Kaytie states that there is a scholarly review that looks at how Mickey Mouse uses everyone. Queue my mind being blown. We jump back into talking about villains that get little recognition. Kaytie states how much she loves Cruella for being the outspoken feminist she is but can't get behind the puppy killing. I personally think that's why the latest release of Cruella with Emma Stone will be amazing. She also loves Jafar. I personally have always found an attachment to Hades from Hercules. Growing up, I was a huge fan of Rattigan from The Great Mouse Detective and Madam Mims from Sword in The Stone. Kaytie talks about passive-aggressive evil, which sums up Melificinet and Mother Gothel to the T. Both took on and had to wait for their evil to pay off in the end. Robin Hood is another great example of villains that necessarily aren't bad. They are just not the greatest or misguided. The real evil villain is The Sheriff of Nottingham in that movie. Prince John is just a different version of Kuzco from Emporers New Groove. Did you know Emporers New Groove is the only movie with a pregnant woman throughout the movie? Any other Disney movie has either a pregnant mom for a few moments or no mom at all. Kaytie had a screenwriter on her podcast where she talked about Tamatoa, the crab from Moana. According to this guest, a villain must be in most of the movie and change the plot. Tamatoa was only in one scene and didn't really change the plot. He only furthers it along. Does this mean Madam Mims and some of our other favorite Villians aren't really Villians? Thanks to the success of Maleficent, we got Cruella along with a lot of other live actions.
