Cartoonist or comic artist? TV or film? Rock, hip-hop or jazz? In the podversation, we debate the importance and relevance of categories. Do they help an audience find what they’re looking for, or do they put creative types in a box? Are categories mostly in service to companies who want to sell us things? In nerd circles, categorization definitely matters. Try calling Star Wars an action movie or refer to The Mandalorian as a superhero, and see what kind of looks you get. We close out the pod by debating in which categories a few movies, TV shows, musicians, and artists should be placed.
