Ep 29 - Women in Early Pre-Code Hollywood

This episode is all about women in pre-Code Hollywood, and how a couple Catholic men and the Production Code Administration changed the course of the American film industry forever. What was the role of women in the early days of film? What about people of color? Was representation just as bad then? Who were some successful women in the early film industry? Listen to find out! I'm your host, Mixtape Majesty, inviting you to this solo mixtape as we dive into the early days of Hollywoodland.Sources and Further Reading

Ep 25 - Candleshoe Club, with Lindsay Armendariz

Hold on to your hats, cuz you’re in for a wild ride on episode 25! Featuring special guest Lindsay Armendariz, a training coordinator and program developer for children’s mental health — and a dear, close, special, personal favorite colleague of mine! In this episode we discuss Lindsay’s childhood favorite, CANDLESHOE (1977)! This little-known live-action Disney flick was Jodie Foster's 13th film overall, and 6th (and final) film with Disney.
Candleshoe is about a streetwise Foster child (get it? heh heh) who is forced to grow up fast to survive — but she makes cons look cute, and there's treasure, friendship, cute grandmas, and racism, because Di$ney! We had a blast diving down memory river with Lindsay and we know you will too. Pop some kernels and enjoy!Wondering what we looked like as we described the horrors of 1994?

Ep23 - Now and Then, Ironically: with Hannah Lyman

Greetings, creamy corn niblets! It is here: The annual droppings. A single episode. You know what, there just might be another one this year. Who knows what the future holds? No, seriously. Does anyone know? It might be good to know some of this shit in advance. I have a gift for you, dear cobs: this episode is 100 percent certified COVID-19 FREE. That's right. This was recorded before we knew what was happening, in the Before Times. Pre-Quar. In advance of the Great Isolation. This recorded discussion contains zero mentions of coronavirus, quarantine, or Tiger King. I could've added a little intro on it, but I didn't; I wanted to keep it pure for you. This is a safe space. Did we wash our hands carefully after we used Catbox Studios' screaming toilet? Sure, but it wasn't for fear of death, unlike now, and forever after. In this sweet, innocent little time capsule of an episode, Mixtape Majesty and bio-informatics scientist and educator, Hannah Lyman, lovingly tear apart the 1995 coming-of-age film, Now and Then. WHY? You'll have to listen. -- SPECIAL THANKS: Catbox Studios and Ovacord for manning the recording and support station! MUSIC: Adult Problems by Richard and the Julians Copyright Richard and the Julians 2015; Popcorn Frog by MC Chris Copyright mc chris llc 2013
