A Critique Of the NETFLIX Series Adolescence And Toxic Masculinity | HN172
Description
A little while back, the Netflix mini-series “Adolescence” was all the rage. From a right-wing perspective, there were all manner of reasons given to be critical of the show, and many people just wrote the series off for that reason. Was the criticism justified? Why or why not? Adam Haman and Charles Melchin dive in and get to the bottom of the controversy!
00:00 — Intro. Does Netflix’s “Adolescence” suck? “On-call curmudgeon” Charles sez it does. Adam isn’t so sure.
02:21 — Adam plays the trailer for the 4-part series and describes the political controversy over “Adolescence”.
08:27 — Does “Adolescence” work as a piece of art, independent of any political issues?
18:40 — What does “Adolescence” say about our society? Does it hit the mark and say something meaningful, or is it just a crappy piece of political propaganda?
46:23 — A piece of art is one thing. The way the creators and critics describe the art is a completely different thing. Sometimes art isn’t completely understood even by those who made it.
1:15:46 — Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature!
Haman Nature articles mentioned:
”Go ahead, keep treating boys and men like they are inherently garbage. What could go wrong?”
”The War on Boys has predictable, devastating, and murderous consequences.”
