Description
On Reese Grey Analyzes, Reese takes a look at creations & experiences in art, media, music, & even video-games to explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, question what we believe, and learn something new.
The media we consume undoubtedly impacts our lives & interactions and that doesn’t have to be an inherently good or bad thing. What is important is that there’s an awareness that we have that our minds and hearts...that we are in fact, being effected whether we like it or not.
Join Reese on her journey, clutching tourist pamphlets in one hand and an iced coffee in the other. Reese will be the best tour guide she can. Sarcastic quips, apathetic meltdowns, and when you need it, reassuring hi-fives—all included.

The Japanese animation industry takes on some very mature topics. So, you’d see an anime titled “Bunny Girl Senpai” and immediately think…”fanservice trash”. But conceptually, the anime handles very complex themes such as depression, loneliness and struggling to find a healthy sense of self during puberty, and all in all had the promise of being a pretty wholesome and complex show.Culturally, we’re taught to largely ignore emotional pain and scars. Many teens learn that in adolescence, you mu...

Hey Guys :) Join me as we analyze TikTok creator Mol & "Karen" Memes. Mol is a LGBTQ TikTok influencer who was recently "cancelled" via unfounded sexual assault allegations via TikTok. His mannerisms and speech patterns are mocked, as well as his content highly criticized. We'll use Mol's TikTok account as a case study to analyze why people choose to hate and bully, and if the public ridicule is in this case, or any case for that matter, is deserved or not. We'll also be a...
Whether you want to start your own country, or wonder why others have such a difficult time being recognized in international law, there are a lot of politics that goes into the recognition of statehood. There are currently 195 countries in the world that are recognized by the United Nations, however there are countless others all over the world who are struggling to advocate for their people and independence of their land. Territories like Somaliland are rich in culture and have history of w...
Comin' in hot today with a little bit spicier content than usual, so I hope you all enjoy. Today, we're going to be exploring both the sentiment of "white privilege is a myth" and "systemic racism still affects people today". Can there be an agreement between both sides? I think it's possible if we genuinely value each other. There is a lot of nuance needed when talking about subjective experiences to understand the sentiment of White Privilege in the United States. Let’s adventure together t...
Disneyland. Branded, the happiest place on earth. But why? What about the park’s aesthetic makes people happy? what makes people feel so good when they are there? What gives Disney it’s magic? Here, I’ll go into an in depth explanation of what the philosophy of aesthetics encapsulates which includes anthropology, architecture, culture —and most importantly your own personal experiences. This adventure explores how entertainment is not value neutral, and the most mundane story lines ...
In this era of “branding yourself”, there's this unspoken feeling that your success is measured by the influence that you have. The bigger the number of subscribers—the bigger the number of views—the better that you're doing. The barrier for entry for content creation is low, nonexistent even. This is simultaneously both the best and the worst thing about the internet. This popular notion of "selling yourself" and "self-branding" romanticizes content creation in a way that makes it seem...
Social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube have democratized fame & notoriety. Anyone can upload any content they wish, at anytime they please. Although this can be an incredibly freeing and cathartic experience for both creators and viwers, allowing both anyone to express themselves and create an audience, while simultaneously giving power to the consumer to choose they type of content they want to see. It also gives anonymous users with bad intent the ability to anonymously bully...
So is there a female gaze? Yes. But it is not sexy men jumping around, like in Magic Mike, or a closeup of Thor’s badonk. This tends to confuse people. If hypersexualized depictions of female bodies, like up skirts in anime, and mega tight clothing in superhero movies (that shows a surprising amount of booba that is in no way tactical), why is it then, that the “female gaze” isn’t Magic Mike? How are they both the male gaze? Well, despite Magic Mike being about hypersexual and overly sexualiz...

With the rise of hustle culture, often times, people (especially adults) demonize video games, saying that it's a waste of time. But, what if that's the beauty of it? Let’s explore how maybe videogames aren't the bad guy.Gaming offers an outlet, a reprieve, and an escape from an often complicated, scary and stress inducing world. The world often tells us success is only deemed valuable if it makes you money or gives you prestige. As a recent graduate student who spent 7 years in higher educat...
I left the theater after seeing Everything Everywhere All at Once with the phrase “nothing matters” echoing in my brain— and I felt at peace about it. Mundane and common issues such as taxes and laundry are brightened up by the movies sci-fi themes while diving head first into exploring a multiverse, which isn’t actually as fantastical as it seems. We all can’t help but entertain our imaginations and wonder “what if?”. It’s a cruel reality that we don’t get to choose where in the world w...
All eloquence aside, being genuine is just — hard. People deemed “successful influencers” usually need to exist within a nuanced gray area space— an odd intersection between entertainment and impact. And of course, with most things in life, that influence that one holds can be a positive or a negative. For instance, an influencer can promote brands who are only trying to commodify social justice movements by using their stances to virtue signal and gain public support, which in the end encour...
I asked my little brother why zoomer humor was so confusing and he said "I don't know, I guess I'm always just so confused anyway so I laugh as a coping mechanism" On Reese Grey Analyzes, we look at creations and experiences in art, media, music, & even videogames to explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, question what we believe, and learn something new. And what better way to explore popular media than with memes.So have you ever wondered WHY younger people tend to pe...
Hey :) Let’s talk about Turning Red, and how it gives excellent depictions on how the male gaze in film effects the girlhood and boyhood experience.

Today, we are gonna be talking about the metamorphosis of Bo Burnham’s entire career and how all 3 of his comedy specials actually intertwine with each other, as they are very connected content wise. We’ll be talking about Bo’s struggle with his own concepts of himself and his authenticity. I was inspired to do this because I heard someone describe Bo’s Inside as “Pretentious Self-Importance, disguised as Woke Self-Reflection”. Fair enough, let’s talk about it! We’re going to try and br...
Join me, Bo Burnham & Socko as we try and figure out How The World Works? Spoiler: It’s complicated. Bo tries to tell us that “The secret is the world can only work, when everything works together”, but more than stating a fact, I believe Bo may be wishing the world worked that simply. This is a deep dive on just 1 song on Bo’s Netflix Special: “Inside” titled:“How The World Works”. This podcast works as a response to my original YouTube video. We Discuss: Realism VS. Liberalism...
Squid game is shiny new. Kinda. As per usual, I’m a bit tardy to the party. Released in September 2021, Squid Game is totally binge-able. Its only a 9 part series and 1 season long, so you have about roughly 8 hours of content to consume. So it’s all in a days work right? With Squid Game being such a worldwide phenomenon, we’re going to get into the shows depictions of human nature, violence for monetary gain and desperation vs. addiction. And of course, we’re going to get into some Korean cu...
Afong Moy | Barnum & Baileys "Chinese Lady": The first ever documented Chinese woman to come to the United States in 1834. Afong Moy’s case is a fascinating one, as it crosses lines between capitalism and exoticism. Afong Moy, as a Chinese woman, as a person rather, was used as an exhibition. And it sounds bizarre —because it is. She was marketed as a “Chinese Doll” and put into a literal box, ornamented with paintings as she drank tea, used chopsticks and spoke Chinese. This was done as ...
