Adventure With Me | HewwoReese: Recent Episodes
Reese
On the Adventure With Me Podcast, 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. Welcome to the Adventure With Me podcast! 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 must simply endure emotional pain and not necessarily heal from it. Seeing the depth of these emotional issues manifested physically with scars and invisibility gives us perspective into the severity of emotional pain. I appreciate anime as a visual medium that can take those abstract feelings of loneliness and “feeling invisible” and personify them by physically effecting the characters bodies.
Though Bunny girl Senpai left a lot to be desired, I appreciate it. A lot of the time, in many different art mediums, we are used to seeing characters be blindly infatuated with one another with characters lacking chemistry and basically falling in love for no reason. However between Mai and Sakuta their connection and intimacy hinges on something as innocent and mundane as simply spending time together, and studying for a test. These simple and seeminngly mundane moments can leave us with something beautiful, intimate, and real. Though cliche, at the end of the day, appreciating simple moments of togetherness is such a special part about being human, and it’s these small shared intimate moments that makes us—-us.

15:53 The Subjectivity of what is "Appropriate"
Critiquing the way anime sexualizes characters, mostly women, and albeit — very young women, isn’t something that is particularly new or revolutionary to the video essay or critical analysis space. However, what we don’t hear discussed as often is the use of “meta-sexualization” in anime. A simple definition of meta-sexualization explains sexualization of a character for narrative’s sake, or comedy sake, so basically any sexualization of a character that is not necessarily strictly for fan-service or viewer pleasure.
Parallel to the conversation of sexualization of characters we also have the conversation of what constitutes as a legitimate plot point and/or character motivation when it comes to a characters sexualization. This is where we get into conversations about morality and things begin to be much more subjective. Overall, this leads to the conversation of when is the depiction of sexual abuse, rape, and manipulation appropriate and respectful for a narrative basis and in what ways is disrespectful, unneeded or in some cases, fetishization.
In the video essay below we discuss specific scenes in Evangelion & Dangonrompa that explore the conscious artistic decisions that lead to the viewers subconscious normalization of sexual content and asks if anime’s pattern of adding extreme sexualization could possibly be a commentary on the sexualization of anime girls in itself (truly meta) or is it explicit for explicit sake. As it’s easy to simply test the boundaries within anime because anime is a medium where boundaries of sexual exploitation are most easily tested on not-real people. Creations in art, media, music, & videogames influence how and why we think the way we think. explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, and often, entertainment is diminished into an activity that is done passively instead of one to ponder and learn from, so when someone expects more from artists or creators or questions artistic decisions, the opposition is quick to reply with “chill, it’s just a song/movie/show”, and it is. But nothing artistic breathes air that is value neutral.

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 analyzing the Karen meme, and why middle aged ;white ladies fall under this stereotype of inherent entitlement. We explore the social implications of white privilege and how it intersects in popular culture and comedy.

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 war and conflict while other territories such as the principality of sealand exist as more of a fun little place to call their own.
Life is complicated and extremely dependent on not only individualistic belief, but communal ones as well. A country's boarders can exist because we agree they have legitimacy, and a territory can be internationally regarded as non-sovereign for the simple fact that the majority of people believe it shouldn't. The fact that our collective beliefs make abstract concepts tangible is something that is as equally beautiful as it is terrifying. Join me on today's adventure to question why we think the way we think and learn something new.

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 today to try and understand why we think what we think, question what we believe and learn something new.
What We Discuss:
- The Sentiment of “White Privilege”
- Peggy McIntosh "The Invisible Knapsack"
- Can Systemic Racism Still Be A Thing in This Day and Age?
- Modern Individual Accountability

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 may introduce either moral judgements or want to influence your wallet (looking at you Autopia presented by Honda). All this being said, I love the Disney Parks, and I want to visit all 13 around the world. So let’s deep dive into just 1 today—- Disney Land Los Angeles.

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 sexualized sexy men dancing for women, it still views people not as people, but as bodies, a habit the female gaze argues cinematographers should get out of.
Linguistically, I completely understand how the female gaze sounds like it should be defined as "what women idealize" if the male gaze is of course what men are taught to idealize. But it is however, much more complicated and abstract. The "female gaze" and "male gaze" don't actually gender the abstract ideas they hold, though they are colloquially "gendered" terms. I believe these types of intricate differences between colloquial language & academic language is such a huge barrier to the understanding such abstract ideals, and at the risk of sounding pretentious, this video essay attempts to delve into the Male Gaze VS. Female Gaze debate.
Conversations about the male gaze and female gaze can easily get really heated and muddled and people can argue about definitions, subjective experience and even biology. And the most complicated part of that conversation would be that nobody’s argument would be incorrect, but all parties must accept there are multiple lenses to the same issue. Without acknowledging both subjective experience and empirical evidence, we will never be able to to enact meaningful change. Having these sorts of conversations are pivotal because figuring out why we think the way we think isn’t as simple as it sounds. To acknowledge that the reason why we find something or someone attractive has to do with what we’re taught, what is expected, and what is shown to us, and that is terrifying.
So, if we understand what the male gaze is, and how it hypersexualizes women and has the ability to even degrade men too into being hyper masculine macho people. We then recognize how ridiculous it is to value someone’s attraction based purely on bodily aesthetics, and how much more important it is to value a person's personality and what makes them unique and different. This then goes into a deeper recognition that men and women should both be allowed to wear whatever they want. Like Harry Styles in a beautiful dress or Demi in an awesome pantsuit. They are just clothes after all, personal, how an individual chooses to showcase themselves to the world. Expression should be personal rather than performative, for instance a woman dressing “girly” or “sexy” just to attract men. The problem arises when you act or dress in a way that you don’t want to and you feel out of place and uncomfortable. These biases and these ways that you act in your everyday life can even be unconscious, and this is why we try to understand the world around us, question what we believe and learn something new.

Most of the questions came from TikTok, and in this segment, the topics vary but they all have a common theme of interpersonal communication. The TikTok questions brought up situations where they found it difficult to hold conversations with people who are unwilling to discuss things from another person’s perspective, and how it inhibits interpersonal communication, and at times even destroying relationships. Topics also include the concept of optimistic nihilism, and with an empathetic view, explore why parents, despite trying their best, can slip into narcissistic tendencies and bully their children with harsh truths, and the generational trauma that causes. That’s a lot, to let’s dive into it! Let’s explore why it’s ok to question our beliefs, and why staying self critical is integral to growth.

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 Adventure With Me, 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 perceive older people as not funny, bland and boring & younger people are perceived as really weird and absurd. For example, older people tend to literally NOT understand a younger person's meme. Have you ever showed your parents a meme and they ask “who is that”, they need background, they’re asking questions because they don’t understand what is supposed to be funny. And this has A LOT to do with the metamorphosis of ironic humor, needing to have an understanding of “cringe” culture coupled with the understanding of how sincerity or in Gen Z’s case the lack of sincerity works in the generalitional divide of comedy.

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 break down his expressions and attempt to evaluate Bo’s authenticity.
This special features a variety of songs and sketches about Burnham's day-to-day life indoors…and despite being released in 2021, this isn’t about COVID or quarantine, but it’s easy to empathize circa it’s release in 2021 because of the current social climate. In general, Bo depicts his deteriorating mental health and explores themes of performativity and his [seemingly unhealthy] relationship to the Internet and the audience he has almost grown dependent upon. Bo, as he does, addresses issues including climate change and social movements and how performativity has creeped into those type of forms of expression as well.
I love Bo’s content & honestly this was a treat to make, it’s a bit different than what I usually make for sure, maybe just a bit more surface level. We don’t really talk about theory, but we don’t always have to. I believe discussion of art & expression is integral to growth, and what better way to do that than by gushing about one of my favorite performers ever. I guess, much like Bo, I’m just a creative person trying to express myself (but on a much tinier stage).

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 Debate in International Politics. [The question are humans good or are they evil is a question as old as time. But as we all know the world is not so black and white]
-Bo Burnham’s nod to Marxist Critique on capitalism: Seeing exploitation through a global lens. Many times, exploitation is thought of as a national issue, but our world is a global economy and when valuing human rights we must look further than our own backyard. -Bo’s “Neoliberal Fascists ’ Destroying the Left” Argument : Discussing the Left VS. Right Divide & how harmful the Us VS. Them mentality can be.
-History’s Bias taught to children in class [In terms of Racism, Classism & Nationalism]-Critique on the use of Jargon by Socko (Could Socko be alienating Bo in the conversation? This could be an explanation for the tense argument)

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 cultural nuances you might have missed if you’re either not familiar with Korean culture or you watched the dubbed version witch has some notable differences.

Today, we’re going to be taking a look at 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 a capitalistic strategy to garner American interest in buying Chinese goods. Unique for her time, Afong Moy experienced the conjoining of two worlds—that of the market and the theater.
