Rise of the Environmental Dystopian

05/06/15 • 39 min

Common Room: Passionate Discussion of Pop Culture, Food, Fitness, & Fashion!

Join Lydia, Hadas, and Kendall aka Distracted Blogger in our Common Room as we talk about the Rise of the Dystopian genre. This time, we'll be focusing on what we call Environmental Dystopian and its popularity.

Why are there so many dystopian movies and books shoved in our faces in the last five years? We discuss the difference between Political and Environmental, what effect they might have on minimalism in general and our feelings towards sustainability efforts.

Topical Dish and Obsessions (TDO) are now on their own special mini eps.

Ep 35: Rise of the POLITICAL Dystopian can be heard HERE.
