e212. Pour Some Gritty On It!

There’s no shortage of movies, TV shows, comics and other media that are “gritty reboots” of older series or property. Sometimes these are official reboots, like the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica or like Riverdale, the greatest show on television. Other times, these are conceptual reimaginings, sharing a thematic inspiration but being given the gritty treatment. It’s certainly a common trend, but it left his with a weird question… just what is a gritty reboot anyway? What makes something “gritty?” On today’s episode, Mav, Hannah and Wayne are joined by returning guest Corinne Matthews of the Sex, Love and Literature podcast to discuss the concept of gritty literature, what is it, and why is it good or bad or even popular. Listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
