    EP2 - Knives Out, Toxic Masculinity, and the "Harlot Whore"
    Jan 18 2026

    Following the release of the third Knives Out movie, Wake Up Dead Man, we pick apart the story of the "harlot whore" and it's weaponization of religion, as well as take a step back to observe the trend of toxic masculinity present in the entire trilogy. Spoilers for all three movies are inevitable while listening, so we HIGHLY recommend watching them first for the best experience! (And because you simply MUST experience the all reveals first-hand...)


    ‼️ CONTENT WARNINGS: Spoilers (duh), brief discussion of death and murder ‼️

    EP1 - How Stranger Things S5 Fails Everyone (Especially El)
    Jan 11 2026

    After a lengthy hiatus, Fairer Fandom is back and better than ever! In this episode, we discuss the recent letdown of Stranger Things Season 5 and how its unexciting finale butchers its legacy, particularly in regards to our beloved Eleven. Part One tackles the myriad of plot holes and inconsistencies, Part Two delves into the reversal of El's character arc, and Part Three wraps up with the mass hysteria of Conformity Gate.


    ‼️ CONTENT WARNINGS: Spoilers for ST S5 (duh), brief discussion of suicide, death, and cycles of abuse ‼️
