524: Call Me Big Roomba

Oh shoot, we missed Mother’s Day! And we didn’t get anything for our Mother Boxes! I sure hope they like podcast episodes… That’s right, this episode is all about the Mother Box, the smartphone that’s also a mom, and a buncha other li’l robot buddies and helpers! We start off with a partial reading and discussion of the essay “‘How Can I Refuse You, Mother Box?!’ Abjection and Objectification of Motherhood in Jack Kirby’s Fourth World” by Annamarie O’Brien for ImageTexT, chat about whether Cyborg should be powered by a Mother Box or not, the life and times of Skeets, Widget, H.E.R.B.I.E. and J.A.R.V.I.S., and the introduction of our own acronym-first robot pals!
