35. Columbus: The Grand Voyage

2 Whits 1 Cup: A Queer Adventures in Odyssey Podcast

YAR, MATEYS! In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we’re tearing to shreds Adventures in Odyssey’s awful episode celebrating colonialism: COLUMBUS: THE GRAND VOYAGE. The historical inaccuracy is as offensive as it is hysterically stupid, and Pigeon — our resident history degree holder — has the receipts. Join us on our own grand voyage through all the white Christian supremacist baloney that is this episode.

Discussion topics include:

-3-2-1 Penguins

-Phil Lollar’s war against fun

-Lawrence Hodges is canonically closeted

-Lesbian Queen Isabella at Christian school

-Isabella and Ferdinand were UGGOS!

-Pigeon and Percy nerd out further on Spanish history (sorry)

-Whit storyboarding child abuse for the Imagination Station

-Third-layer God!
