016 - What is Fantasy?

Gen and Jette breakdown - or at least try to breakdown - the Fantasy genre. Show Notes: Harry Potter mention counter – Gen kept it to a very minimal EIGHT (with one bonus Supernatural mention) The Raven Cycle – For the record, Gen was incredibly chill about this in this episode (so super chill) Are you afraid of capaill uisce? Nicolas Hoult is playing Tolkien. So... Bowie and a 12 year old Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth – creepy? Star Trek versus Star Wars – what genre do you think they are? Umbrella Academy – fair – this one is on Jette. UA counter – ONE Clearly Superhero stories are a genre unto themselves. What the heck is The Big Rock Candy Mountain? Bedknobs and Broomsticks holds up.
