Culture Gabfest: Exploring Masters of the Universe, Is God Is, and Taylor Swift's Latest Release
The Culture Gabfest podcast is coming to an end after 18 years of cultural commentary, but before their final episode, there are still exciting discussions to be had. In this episode, Steve, Dana, and Nadira Goffe dive into the world of Masters of the Universe, the latest cinematic universe attempt by Mattel. They also explore the revenge thriller Is God Is and discuss its place in Black horror and revenge tragedies. And of course, they couldn't sign off without talking about Taylor Swift's newest release for the Toy Story 5 soundtrack.
For Slate Plus subscribers, there is a bonus episode where the panel reflects on the closure of Hampshire College and the changing landscape of the liberal arts. Additionally, the hosts share their endorsements, including Train Jazz, the Black Film Archive, academic lectures on YouTube, Patrick Radden Keefe's book "London Falling," and the song "Come Tomorrow" by Patti Scialfa.
