droincore is a safe space to wonder about how we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world. droincore is DIY, radical but also cosy... it's a conversation that tries to bring some difficult subjects into honest and open thinking. things like how we masturbate, where fascism hides in cinema, identifying with queer, understanding consent, divesting of privilege, and taking care of each other outside of capitalist trappings. stuff like that. droincore holds no authority over anything – it's where we can learn together.
there will be plenty of alternative culture to share - poems, stories and music – and some insight into creative process and what it actually means metaphysically to produce a podcast. there will be lots of sharp tangents, weird and unexpected flavours, passionfruit rants and we'll always wrap it up in tasty pastry.
the droincore psychedelic horror film club is back! this time we're talking about Toad Road. if you want to watch the movie but can't get hold of it, send us a message. if you don't wanna watch it, you should still find this podcast interesting!
we're doing a reading of the film which focuses on the divide between passionate, driven space cadet Sara and the chaotic, nihilistic drug taking of James.
we talk a lot about gender, a bit about skateboarding culture, and also compare this movie with our previous psychedelic horror film, Altered States.

DC33 - queering God of War - making hypermasculinity gay again
after another droinhiatus we are back with a banger!
after a brief introduction to toxic masculinity, we're looking at hypermasculinity and hyperviolence in videogames.
in particular - can we do a queer reading of God of War and reconcile our enjoyment of the hacking 'n' the slashing with our queer and our compassionate sensibilities?
&& - can we see games like Metal Gear Solid as camp art, militaristic and yet anti-serious?
how do ideas of pacifism sneak to these videogames at all?
its super interesting, and neither for videogame fans nor videogame haters - it's just yabb dabba interesting, folks.

DC32 - hyper-reality
this podcast talks about the notion of hyper-reality, the way that our reality is constructed largely through the media we consume. it is another call to be vigilant about what we consume, especially during this coronovirus sabbatical.
people are saying that things will not go back to normal after this pandemic. let's make sure our new reality is something better.
music this time is Boom Boom Raccon by Boom Boom Raccoon
