A VERY meandering discussion of the Siede article "If you like Return of the Jedi but Hate the Ewoks You Understand Feminist Criticism." We discussed this article and its application to literary criticism in our classes this week. Our students who missed that discussion, wish to review, or want to hear Dougie and B-Man converse in a mostly intelligent way should listen. The ideas we discuss inform our understanding of why we read literature/ingest media and the ways we can/should critique it and what we can learn from that critical thought. 

You must forgive the sound. We recorded this on my phone and the mic is pretty good. So, you can hear us well, but you can also hear me getting text messages, opening the phone to check the recording, etc. Also, so many chair squeaks. SORRY!
