The TV shows we watch say a lot about us. A cynical person might prefer light-hearted comedies as an antidote to the crushing existential weight of their everyday life. A former youth-group leader might be obsessed with religious iconography and pop-culture depictions of the devil. People are weird, and it shows in their Netflix queues. Made You Look is a podcast that tries to work out why we love the things we love. And if Jane and Kurt have to watch each other's favourite TV shows to do it... They're willing to make that sacrifice. One week Jane will select an episode of one of her favourite shows for Kurt to watch. He'll recap it, try to figure out the missing pieces, and then comes the criticism. Together they parse out the episode in detail, touching on world-building, story construction, theme, production context and personal connection. The following week it's Jane's turn...

On our second Holiday BONUS EPISODE of Made You Look, we watch everyone's troupe of intrepid babies, the Rugrats!

In the lead up to the holiday season, we're looking at cultural celebrations outside of the standard Christmas episode, and Rugrats showed us both Hanukkah and Kwanzaa! In this episode we attempt to educate ourselves on both holidays (probably poorly, corrections welcome), and look at the the importance of family and community in different cultural celebrations. We also look at the role of didacticism in exploring diversity in children's entertainment, and spend a surprisingly long time looking at the plotting.
