Back from the hiatus, your nice emails (August throwback), Hannah Wilke at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation

Hey everyone! Sorry for our unintended and unannounced one month break, but the podcast is back on!!! Here is episode 9 of season 2 that we recorded back in August when Renaissance and Sunny were both in St. Louis and saw the Hannah Wilke exhibition at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation (more info here: https://pulitzerarts.org/art/hannah-wilke/) together, amidst doing many other things frolicking around Sunny's hometown. We discuss our thoughts on Wilke's multi-media art for the media analysis portion of the episode, and respond to your nice emails as our hot-take portion. We do fervently agree that Lover is a deeply underrated and under-appreciated Taylor Swift album, of course. For the recommendations part of this episode, Sunny recommends The Suicide Squad- the sequel- because it has surprisingly anti imperialist messaging, which lines up with DC's portrayal of Harley Quinn in the cartoon show as well. US military collaboration in superhero films and media a topic of discussion once again! Renaissance recommends Faye Webster's 2019 album Atlanta Millionaire' Club, her dream pop vibes giving Lorde but lighter. Thank you all so much for your lovely emails and messages and interactions on socials for the past over a month or so we haven't dropped a full episode, it's been tiding us over during our hyper-busy eras which have left you all, our dear The Lavender Menace listeners, in a content drought :( Although we did drop the unedited version of this video/episode early in September for our Patreon subscribers! BTW subscribe to us on Patreon.com/thelavendermenace for patron exclusive content, early access to episodes, merch, and other fun stuff. We deeply apologize for our absence and hope to hear from you soon in our email inbox ([email protected]) or on Twitter (@thelavenderpod)!! Missing seeing your proposed hot take submissions...! 🍑🍊🕊🌸🍄🍓🍒🍇♥️
