This podcast examines the various forms of media that shape our lives: the stories we love, the music that moves us, and the art the inspires us. We meet with a variety of guests to explore a piece of media that shaped them in some way and explore that influence as if it were a piece of great literature. Whether we are dealing with the seemingly inane or the deeply profound, we will try to get to the center of how we define ourselves and our values. It's a course in media literacy that puts hearts and minds ahead of the nuts and bolts of the industry.
What We’re Hyped For: Recs, Reviews, and the Best of the Rest
It has been a busy year at Media/Lit, and hosts Randy & Kris need to catch up!

They also take some time to preview what’s ahead for Media/Lit, including some big teases for our upcoming 100th episode and the blockbuster release of Avengers: Doomsday.

Casino Royale (2006)
Shaken or stirred?
Do we look like we give a damn?
Randy and Kris are joined by special guest Bill George of the Should I Go See It? (https://www.instagram.com/shouldigoseeit/) podcast to revisit Casino Royale (2006). This gritty reboot of a beloved franchise took many fans by surprise when it dropped twenty years ago, but our special guest was always a true believer. Join our panel as we review our personal histories with James Bond and explore how this spy thriller holds up a couple of decades later.
