| Not into it, but I'm familiar with it. The merchandise is everywhere. I'm actually quite surprised with Bluey's level of success, since it's probably the first Australian cartoon to be a global phenomenon. Mostly, Australians don't export their own media to America. Usually Australian celebrities on... |

| One thing I will admit that did come out of the recent J.K. Rowling controversies is that now it's finally acceptable to not like Harry Potter. When I was growing up, you were considered a loser if you didn't like Harry Potter. If you were British it was pretty much considered sacrilege to not like ... |

| Do you think it's wrong if two people who have kids with the same name date each other? Let's say a man and a woman start dating. They're both divorced. The man has a son named Michael and the woman also has a son named Michael. If this couple ends up marrying, the two Michaels will be stepbrothers.... |

| I feel like the real problem with game journalists is that they're too political these days. A lot of game reviews these days quickly devolve into complaints about racism, sexism, and transphobia. Wired hosted a review of Hogwarts Legacy that focuses almost exclusively on Rowling's anti-trans views,... |

Neighbours is Australian.
I hate soap operas. I think they're among the trashiest genres on TV, next to reality TV. |

| Did any of you get chicken pox as a kid? What age did you get it at? I got it when I was about 5. I don't really remember it, but my mom told me that I had to celebrate my birthday late that year because I got it around my birthday. Thankfully you only get chicken pox once. And at least I got it you... |

| Do you think media aimed at women and girls tends to be judged too harshly? Honestly, I feel like it is. Not all the time, but in some cases it is. I feel like you see it the most with music (especially pop music), but it happens with movies and TV shows too. This attitude (called the "girl sho... |

I always hated the texture. - Baked beans. Even looking at them can me gag. - Lima beans. Seems like in America, this is a pretty hated... |
