RE-RELEASE: Gadsby x Soloway Revisited (ft. Rachey)

In anticipation of Sam’s upcoming blockbuster commentary track for Hannah Gadsby’s newest special Douglas, we are re-releasing segments we did in Episodes 30 and 39. In these back episodes, we respectively discussed Nanette with Rachey and Gadsby’s romantic partner Jill Soloway’s book She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy. It is crucial to note that our critiques of Gadsby’s special Nanette are not intended to minimize the trauma Gadsby recounts within it, nor are they intended to diminish the brutality of homophobia. These are sensitive and serious topics that we do not want to dismiss flippantly, so we zeroed in on its relation to comedy and the discourse around it. We also do not fault anyone who connected with Gadsby’s work on a personal level, and our criticisms of the special should not be interpreted as any kind of attack on anyone on that level. Art, especially when it is released on Netflix, is created for public consumption, and it should inspire constructive intellectual discussion and debate, which is why we chose to cover it. But we do not want any of our critiques to be taken as an attack against or rejection of the ongoing struggle for equity and fairness with regards to women, victims of sexual assault and the LGBTQ community. We proudly support the following organizations doing crucial work to advance the cause of equity for marginalized people, and we want to shout them out and encourage donations here: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ https://www.paypal.me/TransReliefFund https://www.nctsn.org/ https://www.rainn.org/ http://www.nacvcb.org/ https://www.safehorizon.org/ - for New York City https://transequality.org/covid19/mutual-aid-and-emergency-funds
