Vietnams War on Barbie Foundation for Economic Education 2023-07-18 | The new Barbie movie doesn’t seem like it should be a candidate for sparking international conflict, but a crudely-drawn map in one of the film’s goofy scenes is at the center of a geopolitical debate. Vietnam has outright banned the Barbie movie over what it says is a representation of the “Nine-Dash Line,” a territorial boundary claim by China over part of the South China Sea. The conflict over who owns those waters stretches back more than a thousand years, but the post-WWII era’s global carve-up defined the problem that pits China against its neighbors any time a movie has even a frame of the contentious map.

Bluey Censored for FAT SHAMING?! Foundation for Economic Education 2023-07-13 | Bluey might be the most wholesome kids show on television, and adults love it, too -- but a scene in which Bluey's father simply decides he wants to exercise has caused such controversy that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Disney+ cut out the section entirely. If Bluey's dad Bandit thinks he'll feel better about himself if he exercises, and maybe even be a better father and better employee, how is that a problem? From health professionals to the show's superfans, enough criticism rolled in to make the scene a problem.#bluey #disneyplus #disney
The Hidden Genius of Hoarders Foundation for Economic Education 2023-07-11 | A&E's long-running series "Hoarders" profiles the lives and properties of people suffering from compulsive hoarding disorder. And while cleaning up properties that can hold several hundred tons of trash is difficult, cleaning up the minds of the owners presents a more serious challenge.The foundation of Hoarders consists of important, sweeping questions about individual rights and liberties -- and buried within Andy and Becky Otter's hoard is a complex web of Isaiah Berlin's positive and negative freedoms. What are our obligations to help others, and how far should we go if it means restricting their freedom? To what degree should others be free from the consequences of someone else's bad choices? And what do we do when two people's individual liberties collide?Check out FEE.org for more information on government intervention during crises.Check out Common Sense Soapbox for animated videos on related topics:youtube.com/c/CommonSenseSoapbox——————————LINKS:https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/liberty-positive-negative/aetv.com/shows/hoardersen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoarders_(TV_series)——————————#tv #review #netflix
Spider-Man vs. Affirmative Action Foundation for Economic Education 2023-07-07 | Miles Morales's guidance counselor has a plan to get Miles into Princeton: lean into cheap advantages on his application, like stretching the truth about his background and family. In one of those moments that defines who a character really is, Miles rejects these ploys to simply be himself rather than a caricatured version that might bring some benefits. For Miles, what he'd lose by doing that is much more serious than anything he'd gain.

The Flash Cant Change the Past (and neither can you) Foundation for Economic Education 2023-07-05 | DC appears to be squandering an excellent opportunity to provide the deep, engaging storytelling that Marvel is currently lacking -- but they totally swung and missed with The Flash. Aside from Ezra Miller's pre-release antics, the movie itself is loaded with problems. But there's one interesting point we can take away: the amount of time and effort we spend on trying to change the past is completely wasted, and we'd do well to channel our efforts toward making the best of our actual circumstances.Check out FEE.org for more information on government intervention during crises.Check out Common Sense Soapbox for animated videos on related topics:youtube.com/c/CommonSenseSoapbox——————————LINKS:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flash_(film)rottentomatoes.com/m/the_flash_2023imdb.com/title/tt0439572——————————CREDITS:Written by Jack Nicastro & Matt TaborNarrated by Matt TaborProduced and Edited by Michael OziasAssistant Edited by Abby Richardson#flash #moviereview #theflash
Is Secret Invasion Marvels Death Knell? Foundation for Economic Education 2023-07-03 | The MCU's "Secret Invasion" had the second-worst premiere of all time for the MCU behind only Ms. Marvel -- and it's not at all clear what the show offers to fans beyond another tired Marvel installment. By leaning into demographic box-checking and lining up plots to offer some commentary on current events, Marvel is abandoning the unique, original storytelling that made it so incredible.

Jury Dutys Lesson: Trust Your Gut.

Stop Demonizing Devils! Foundation for Economic Education 2023-06-21 | Even devils deserve a fair shot. When Aki relies on his feelings toward an entire group instead of evaluating each individual on their own actions and character, he falls into a stereotype trap that just doesn't work out for anyone, including him.

When a Jury Duty Scheme Backfires... Foundation for Economic Education 2023-06-18 | James Marsden tried to leverage his fame to get out of jury duty. The theory was that his celebrity would constitute a distraction and disrupt the trial, so he hired paparazzi to cause chaos. Not only did the plan not work, but it ended up showing everyone how ridiculous and onerous sequestration can be for jurors who are locked in to performing their civic duties.

Disneys at it AGAIN. Foundation for Economic Education 2023-06-16 | Disney's release of a new live-action Little Mermaid has been received well by audiences -- it's got a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and is creeping up on half a billion at the box office. And both the company and CEO Bob Iger have reinforced their commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and exploring new voices... except if it's in China.Disney has once again altered their advertising campaigns in China specifically to downplay the race of a main character, and in the case of The Little Mermaid, *the* main character. They did the same thing with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Black Panther, and more. It might be a crass money-grab -- but what we know for sure is that it conflicts with what Disney and Iger claim to stand for.LINKS:https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5971474rottentomatoes.com/m/the_little_mermaid_2023youtube.com/shorts/snmAd17ok9M-----Check out FEE.org for more information on government intervention during crises.Check out Common Sense Soapbox for animated videos on related topics: youtube.com/c/CommonSenseSoapbox-----CREDITS:Written by Abby Richardson & Matt TaborNarrated by Matt TaborProduced and Edited by Michael OziasAssistant Edited by Abby Richardson#disney #littlemermaid #review
No, Mario is Not Anti-Woke Foundation for Economic Education 2023-06-07 | Everyone loves the new Super Mario Bros. Movie -- literally everyone (except John Leguizamo). It's refreshing to see an animated film that's got a great story, taps a ton of nostalgia, and is just plain fun. That combination is why it easily blew through $1 billion at the box office before May, and it's still crushing it. But does not including any 'woke' elements actually make a movie some kind of 'anti-woke' protest? Absolutely not, and it's a serious stretch to make the absence of any political message into a message of its own. It's an awesome movie that just doesn't have any political statements.LINKS:fee.org/articles/is-the-new-mario-bros-movie-really-anti-woke-no-and-yes[…]lid=IwAR1oDzKejjl2x8rWrSNC4lfY1e1bQ88zGe13F86Jb0Xk1dxzgdmzExStszoen.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Super_Mario_Bros._Movieimdb.com/title/tt6718170-----Check out FEE.org for more information on government intervention during crises.Check out Common Sense Soapbox for animated videos on related topics: youtube.com/channel/UCRP7zAaW64tGw26Ee2h-l-Q-----CREDITS:Written by Jon Miltimore, Abby Richardson, & Matt TaborNarrated by Matt TaborProduced and Edited by Paul NelsonAssistant Edited by Abby Richardson#mario #mariobros #review
Indiana Jones Gets Everything Wrong Foundation for Economic Education 2023-06-06 | Everyone's excited for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, though most of us are resigned to it being a love-hate experience. It's been 42 years since Raiders of the Lost Ark, and even bad Indy films are still Indy... so there's a chance it might defy grim expectations. The trailers seem to suggest that Indiana is made a doddering old fool by his goddaughter Helena -- that's its own problem -- but they also show how wrong Disney and Helena are about capitalism.In a quip that would garner tens of thousands of upvotes on Reddit, Helena conflates stealing with capitalism. By completely ignoring how capitalism depends on sustained, mutually-beneficial transactions, what Helena really describes is closer to... well, one of the *other* systems.

How NOT to Get Out of Jury Duty Foundation for Economic Education 2023-05-31 | "Jury Duty" on Amazon's Freevee is so fake that it's actually pretty real. Ronald Gladden is surrounded by actors who push the limits of decency as they half-heartedly undertake their civic duty, and prospective juror Noah is willing to sacrifice his dignity if it means getting out of jury duty and going on a vacation with his girlfriend.His grand plan rests on proclaiming that he's a racist to disqualify him from serving on the jury -- an idea he and others got from watching Peter Griffin in Family Guy. Considering that a full quarter of prospective jurors in the US don't respond to their summons, Noah's attempt to dodge a responsibility he doesn't want isn't far from reality. —————LINKS:en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_Duty_(2023_TV_series)amazon.com/Jury-Duty-Season-1/dp/B0B8JM2BBShttps://m.imdb.com/title/tt22074164—————Check out FEE.org for more information on government intervention during crises.Check out Common Sense Soapbox for animated videos on related topics: youtube.com/channel/UCRP7zAaW64tGw26Ee2h-l-Q—————CREDITS:Written by Abby Richardson & Matt TaborNarrated by Matt TaborProduced and Edited by Michael OziasAssistant Edited by Abby Richardson#tv #review #reviews
Rocket Uncovers the TRUTH About Utopia Foundation for Economic Education 2023-05-30 | The concept of Utopia sounds nice -- a perfect world free from problems like poverty and war. We've thought about it collectively since hearing of the Garden of Eden, and Thomas More's "Utopia" was seminal to our understanding of what could be. But even if we could agree on what a utopia would look like, what's the cost of getting there?Rocket's backstory in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 details how he himself was a victim of the High Evolutionary's utopian vision. Once the sentient Rocket and the High Evolutionary's other creations stopped being useful, they were simply incinerated. The brutality involved in creating the perfect society draws comparisons with real life examples like Pol Pot's Cambodia, in which 2 million victims were byproducts of his quest toward utopia.Rocket understands what those movements don't: that their hate for the way society is tends to be stronger than their utopian vision. ——————————SOURCES: fee.org/articles/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3-has-a-very-important-lesson-for-collectiviststheguardian.com/theguardian/2013/dec/11/pol-pot-khmer-rouge-interviewimdb.com/title/tt6791350——————————Check out FEE.org for more information on government intervention during crises.Check out Common Sense Soapbox for animated videos on related topics: youtube.com/channel/UCRP7zAaW64tGw26Ee2h-l-Q——————————CREDITS: Written by Jon Miltimore, Abby Richardson, & Matt TaborNarrated by Matt TaborProduced and Edited by Michael OziasAssistant Edited by Abby Richardson#guardiansofthegalaxy #marvel #mcu
The Silos One-Child Policy Foundation for Economic Education 2023-05-25 | Should having kids be an absolute right? Or does the government have a controlling interest in how many children you produce, or if you have any at all?When we think of childbirth restrictions, we immediately point to China and their famous (and failed) one-child policy. Other countries have taken a stab at it, too, including Iran, Egypt, and in a soft-coercion sort of way, even the United Kingdom.But what about when you're living in the Silo, a controlled environment only capable of supporting a certain number of people, with extremely limited resources?

Would You Leave the Silo? Foundation for Economic Education 2023-05-22 | The most significant phrase one can utter in Hugh Howey's "Silo" is a simple one: "I want to go out."

How Do We Deal With Disasters? Foundation for Economic Education 2023-05-20 | Apocalyptic scenarios of all kinds -- war, disease, zombies -- might seem irrelevant because they're such an exaggeration of the problems we tend to face. But the reality is that shows and movies like The Last of Us, Contagion, World War Z, and The Walking Dead offer incredible insight into how we deal with catastrophic problems. Why is wiping out the problem with bombs so often our first reaction to a disaster? Why do we give up individual rights for the sake of a greater good that's often totally uncertain and that we can't even define? Why is the temptation to cede all control to the government so common?Watching our world succumb to disaster is enticing, exciting, and immersive -- but when it's done right, we get insight into our real life processes when everything goes wrong. From Katrina to Waco, it's shocking how often our efforts to rein in tragedy actually end up making it worse. We can learn from our mistakes and we can learn from our fiction. We just have to see it.——————————CREDITS: Written by Matt Hampton, Matt Tabor, and Sean W.
