Episode 03
In this episode we investigate the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and discuss how the Marvel Cinematic Universe represents or misrepresents themes of racism, activist politics, masculinity, and male friendship. We also examine the show’s depiction of men in therapy. Host Jonathan McIntosh is joined by writer and filmmaker Imran Siddiquee for this conversation.
