Representation - Literary Merit Episode 3
Channel: Literary Merit
Date: 2017-04-17

It's unthinkable, but we stayed on topic, and even had sources! We're getting serious about this, folks. Today's episode is on the fun-filled topic of diversity and representation in Hollywood. Buckle up, friends, we're coming up on rocky terrain. Most of the discussion centers around the new movies Power Rangers and Ghost in the Shell. Also, Ashley almost got internet scammed, and Alex thinks it would probably be okay if Cate Blanchett wanted to kill him.

Things Discussed:
Power Rangers (2017)
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Iron Fist
