Alejandro Montoya Marin from Rebel Without a Crew
Alejandro Montoya Marin is someone I've been hearing about for quite a while. I've been lucky enough to see many of his shorts (including the first version of Monday) and am so excited he was handpicked by Robert Rodriguez to take part in the show Rebel Without a Crew. Alejandro and I chatted about Monday, the RWaC show, movies in general, growing up with pop culture, and more. It was a blast. I can't wait to chat with again and am excited for all of his future projects. On January 6, there will be a mini-marathon of the current episodes. Head to find out where you can watch.

Potterweek: Race in Harry Potter
When Noma Dumezweni was cast as Hermione Granger in the stage play of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, many praised the casting choice. Fans around the world wondered if a black Hermione could possibly be canon. JK Rowling applauded the casting by saying "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever." But is this world capable of producing a black Hermione without ever commenting on her blackness? Is it capable of producing a main character of color with a rich story? My friends (Hugo Award nominee!) and (the famous Geek Girl Strong) suggested discussing race in the Potterverse for this Potterweek episode. They really opened my eyes and made me think.

Talk with Travis the Grimm and a bit of Twin Peaks Season 2
Instead of an in-depth discussion on Twin Peaks listen in to Travis the Grimm and Hadas (that's me!) get nerdy. Sometimes not everything goes according to plan! When it came time to record our second episode of the Twin Peaks rewatch focusing on season two, one co-host had to miss the recording and the other didn't finish watching the season. Such is the life of podcasting. You really never know what will happen even if you try and plan well or you overcompensate with multiple prepared cohosts. For a more accurate Twin Peaks discussion, please listen to the IGGPPC rewatch of season one. It features Rosa as a true blue fan of Twin Peaks, Lulu as the first time watcher and immediate hater on the show, and myself, Hadas, as the lukewarm pop culture consumer. Travis has been a long time friend of the show and one of my absolute favorite people. Where can you find him? Oh boy, don't get me started. Listen to the ep and you'll see that Travis is everywhere doing so much! It's pretty impressive. Heads to to find links to what he's working on and to make a fantastic new friend. :) The IGGPPC are great friends that created a friendly inclusive community of passionate people aka geeks.You can find a friend that is into what you're into.

Religion in Potter

Religion in Potter
As you know, on Common Room, we are religiously and politically neutral. We'll never post happy holidays for any holiday or support a political candidate as a site/podcast. So, when I asked friends and strangers to be on the show for #Potterweek and got a request to talk about religious allusions, I was a bit nervous. Stefani, a friend who I met through work suggested this for a reason that was pretty interesting. Stefani and her siblings were not allowed to have Harry Potter in the home. Stefani has a personal connection that she generously shared. We moved on to talk about bigger Harry Potter themes, favorites, and even took some time to do some sorting and discuss those large introspective questions. Enjoy this last episode of Potterweek on what I'm calling Potterday. Happy First Day of Hogwarts!! Check out Stefani- nowhere! She hates the internet! And check out James on social media as thejacksonjd! More from Potterweek 2016: 7/25 with Megan Gotch aka The Nerdy Girlie and Katie Elhoffer of Elhoffer Designs.

We Have To Go Back! Lost Rewatch: Pilot 1 + 2
It's finally here. The first episode of our Lost rewatch. These episodes will not be on the Common Room feed starting with the second episode. Frequency: twice a month. Format: Introduction of guests: First timer: Debbie of or Rewatchers: Dave of and Hadas (that's me!). Recap of the episode: In the pilot, we meet just a few characters but see glimpses of the larger ensemble cast. All we know is that Oceanic Flight 816 crash landed on an island. The pilot was off course and wasn't able to alert the base. There's an ominous distress recording made by a French woman. She says it killed them all and she's all alone. It's been looping for 16 years. Themes We Discuss: Characterization of Women: Sun, Kate, Claire, and Shannon are 4 distinct personalities. Yet Kate is slightly a different breed in these first two episodes. Many people I know seem to hate Kate. Do you know why? Characterization of Sayid: This is a post 9/11 show. Casting brown people as terrorists is an easy and popular thing, yet the character of Sayid is granted depth and easy likeability. Leadership: Who makes a good one? Why? This will be a running theme on our rewatch. And so we begin. No need to be afraid of spoilers. They're at the end! Want to be on the show? You can! Just email me [email protected] and/or join the Facebook group . Never podcasted before? No problem! I'll teach ya. Enjoy and namaste. Hadas For SPOILERS, head to page 2 !

Men's Fandom Fashion with Tony B Kim (Crazy 4 Comic Con)
The ladies are finally getting the flattering geeky threads they always wanted. But what about the guys, eh? Men's Fandom Fashion is the topic for our first episode back from a long hiatus (an explanation is on the episode). This episode was recorded a long time ago. Actually a long long time ago before SWVII was released... /sheepish. One of our friends from the Con Radio familia, Tony B Kim aka Crazy4ComicCon joined me to talk about a project he's been working on for quite a while. When I spoke to the Con Radio familia about collaborating on an episode together, Tony got very excited about F3. Tony's project involves creating a line of presentable clothes for men who want to represent their fandoms. Listen in to us chat about the idea, the process, convention love, and more background about Tony. Check out Tony's , , and follow him on for great conversation starters.

Australian Aboriginals, Diversity, + Identity #IntWomensMonth
What do you think about when you hear the term indigenous people? I usually think of Native Americans, yet they aren't the only indigenous people on the planet. Only in the last five years did I learn about the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders of Australia.

Blogging as Therapy with Military Brats Megan Gotch + Jamila Rowser
Sometime in 2015, I realized that some of the leaders of the large lady nerd communities I was part of were self-proclaimed military brats. I invited them on the episode and the conversation went in a direction I couldn't have predicted!
