Framed, Frozen, and Falling Flat

This episode unpacks how media framing influences our perception of events, focusing on the United Healthcare shooter—viewed by some as a villain, by others as a hero. Then it’s a critical look at Moana 2, a sequel weighed down by outdated visuals, lackluster dubbing, and forgettable songs. Finally, I dive into Ice Cube’s Man Down, an album heavy on anti-woke rhetoric but light on originality. It’s a journey through media narratives, cultural shifts, and the stories that shape how we see the world.
