Did You Do Your Homework? | A Pop Culture Podcast

Maren and Martha take a brief detour from rom coms into the world of teen dance movies to discuss the Norwegian film BATTLE! They discuss their histories with dance movies, the tragedy of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's divorce, and never actually say that you should watch this movie (but please do, it's really good!)

Martha takes her Twitter meme addiction to the podcast! She and Pete discuss their reading wheel houses, favorite bad movies, describe themselves in four fictional characters, and more.

It's so nice to watch a movie unambiguously set in Chicago! Martha and Maren are examining The Last Summer, something KJ Apa apparently filmed in between whatever is happening on Riverdale.

It's summer and we're busy! Here's a recap of some of the media Pete and Martha have been enjoying this summer.

This sure was a movie we watched! For the 5th episode of Love YA!, Maren and Martha try to find something worthwhile in the Netflix retelling of the Cinderella story. We kind of wish we'd just watched A Cinderella Story.

Pete and Martha go guest-less in an episode all about recommending the perfect book for your vacation.

Martha and Maren dig into the debate team vehicle Candy Jar, starring Jacob Latimore, Sami Gayle, Christina Hendricks, Uzo Adubo, and an inexplicable Helen Hunt.

Friend of the show and returning guest Sarah is back to talk with us about animation. Sarah tells us about teaching animation to her classroom of small children, and then we all gush super hard over how incredible animated movies can be and how frustrating it is that people dismiss so many of them as "just for kids." The homework for the episode: Pete: The Breadwinner (2018 from Cartoon Saloon) Sarah: ParaNorman (2011 from Laika Studios) Martha: Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse (2018 from Columbia Pictures)

For our third episode, Martha and Maren turn their critical eyes on the Netflix original Alex Strangelove, starring Daniel Doheny and Madeline Weinstein, and directed by Craig Johnson. Love YA! releases on opposing Wednesdays from Did You Do Your Homework.

Pete and Martha are joined by return guest and friend of the podcast Austin to discuss modern interpretations of Greek Mythology. Our homework for the episode: Circe by Madeleine Miller, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? directed by the Cohen Brothers, and the webcomic Lore Olympus written and drawn by Rachel Smythe (find it on Webtoons.com!) Mark it on your calendars, folks: all three hosts loved all three homeworks! Truly this is a watershed moment for the podcast.

Maren and Martha are back with an all new episode - they take a deep dive into the Shannon Purser/Noah Centineo flick Sierra Burgess is a Loser (available on Netflix). Does this movie simply exist to capitalize on the SAVE BARB initiative? Maybe!

It's an all ladies episode! Martha is joined by previous guests Maren Hagman and Michelle Ruegg to get into Mary Sues: what it means, who it describes, and is it even a useful phrase anymore (spoiler alert: no). Pete will be back next week for our discussion on Greek mythology adaptations. In the mean time, make sure to check out Martha and Maren's new podcast Love YA!, which appears on this stream and Martha fails to actually name in the podcast!

Welcome to the debut episode of Love YA! A guided tour through the world of streaming teen romcoms. DYDYH host Martha is joined now and forever with cohost Maren, and to kick things off they are here to discuss the Noah Centineo vehicle The Perfect Date (available on Netflix). Love YA! releases on opposing Wednesdays from Did You Do Your Homework.

Pete and Martha go guestless to get down and dirty with Game of Thrones - what the showrunners got right, and what they really didn't, with that finale. We also talk about the impact GoT has had on our pop culture landscape, and make some predictions about where we go from here. Stuck in our heads this week: Pete: Jamilla Woods, The National, and Carly Rae Jepson Martha: His Dark Materials trailer

Your hosts are joined by returning guest (with a new name) Lizzie Buehler Meyer to talk All Things Marvel Cinematic Universe. We spend a lot of time talking about whether Endgame worked for us (lots of spoilers!), then have a freewheeling conversation that includes our top 5 MCU movies and whether the 10-year MCU experiment has been successful. And we have a pretty long sidebar about just how far Spoiler Culture has gotten out of hand.

Your intrepid hosts go guestless on this episode to catch up on all the media they've been enjoying so far this year, and what they're looking forward to for the rest of 2019.

Family: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em, but sometimes you can choose your own. We pick apart found family dynamics in our latest episode, where we are joined by podcast aficionado (and husband of return guest Sarah Caputo) Joe Caputo! After talking enthusiastically about what's stuck in our heads this week, we get into the nitty, gritty, and bodily horror of some found family stories. The homework for the episode: Runaways, vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughn and Adrian Alphona, the 1988 animated film Akira, and select episodes of Firefly, that 2002 sci-fi show we all love and miss so much.

Did Martha want an excuse to talk about Sorry to Bother You for a solid hour? Possibly! Luckily she has a patient cohost and a good natured guest to join her. We break down classism in media (specifically from American and British perspectives) by looking at Boots Riley's debut film, Jeeves & Wooster, and the Mark Millar graphic something Kingsman: The Secret Service with guest (and fellow librarian!) Hannah Rapp.

We've read all the listicles and seen the TV specials, but the question remains - for those of us who were there, DID we love the 90's? Return guest and 90's expert Josh Brown (from 40 Going on 14) joins us to get into it. Leave your nostalgia at the door, because we do not have time for it today. The homework: Scream (1996, dir. Wes Craven), The Maxx (1993, wri. Sam Kieth), Boy Meets World (1993, ABC).

We are not a true crime podcast, but we are discussing it thoroughly in today's episode. Return guest Sarah Caputo joins us in our deep dive on why we can't get enough of true crime. Homework includes In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Zodiac by David Fincher, and the Onion's satirical podcast, A Very Fatal Murder.
