Blatant Misreading
Blatant Misreading is a podcast where we take academic and political theory somewhere it was never meant to go: popular culture. In each episode, hosts Margie Tang-Oxley and Aaron Posner analyse a movie or TV show with a piece of theory that is, at best, kind of misapplied. Of course we all want an analysis of class dynamics in "Parasite," but we'll leave something that makes that much sense to the pros! We'll be over here applying Noam Chomsky to "Paddington 2."

Episode 6
This week we ask: who would win in a car race, Vin Diesel or James Joyce?
That’s right, in this episode we explore the implications of modernist conceptions of automobiles in the Fate of the Furious, the eighth movie in the Fast and Furious universe. To really prove our car know-how, we also offer advice to a distressed listener with car troubles.
