Mandatory Media is supposedly about the books, movies, poems, plays, and other pieces of media that should have been on your media studies syllabus, but is actually just an excuse for its three hosts to talk about the media they love. Join hosts David (a pop culture lover), Seth (a theatre kid), and Bret (a scholar and poet) every two weeks as they take you through a variety of topics and conversations that range from Keats to Taika Waititi to our own vision of what the next Lord of the Rings movie should look like.
