Aftershow for The Broski Report - Exchanging my Brain at the Brain Store

 

Link

I enjoyed this episode so much! And I was super excited this week because it's the first time I'm starting this "aftershow" blog series!

3:35 She compares herself to a raccoon. 

5:25 She compares her life to Wall-E

8:43 We see where the episode title comes from.

12:40 She starts talking about the music she's into this week. 
I don't care about diving this deep into music but I like seeing her nerd out and show off her passion for music. That is me but with video game stories and horror movies. 

And then later she talks about a musician who might be sexist based off his vibe in interviews. I like how carefree she is about sharing art she loves while not loving the artists. I find it hard to separate the art from the artist but I CAN sometimes do it. And I think most people can but wont admit it.  

It's very complicated when a piece of art moves you but you also don't want to promote it because of who created it. I wish fans wouldn't shame Brittany for talking about problematic artists. I think it's also important to let people know who might be toxic because not everyone watches interviews. I don't. 
(The only interviews I've watched were ones with Keanu Reeves. I had to know what type of person he was after I developed a crush on him after playing Cyberpunk 2077. I hardly ever get crushes on real people, only fictional characters!)

So, it's tricky sometimes when defining what is promoting an asshole artist and what is spreading awareness about them being an asshole. It's up to each of us to choose to believe if Brittany (or anyone) has good intentions and is self-aware when talking about art or not. 

I believe she has a good heart and good judgment so I'll continue to love her until I feel otherwise. 

37:10 She talks about her experience speaking Spanish. I love that she later mentions the hypocrisy of when White people speak two languages vs when POC speak two languages.

Also, a very good reason for me to make this "aftershow" of The Broski Report is because I instantly got annoyed seeing, in the subreddit, fans complain about her sharing "the songs of the week" for most of this episode. I'm frustrated that some of her fans can't appreciate the joy and happiness that is radiating from Brittany when she talks about music. I don't need to be into the same music to understand her obsession, just listening to others talk about their interests is fun for me. 

I will hate on a movie but see my favorite "reaction channels" watch that movie and I'll love seeing them love the movie I hate. All they HAVE to do, is be entertaining. 

If you don't find Brittany fun to watch when she's so fucking happy then keep skipping the music talk and deal with a shorter episode. 

At least here, I can rant or praise Brittany in peace without bugging too many people or being downvoted until my comment is hidden. (For now...)
