Ep 110 - The Un-Tropes of Queen's Gambit

Paul and I talk about tropes in our favorite movies and shows,
using the Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit as our launch point. What
makes a trope annoying or problematic, and where can they be
helpful to a story, especially a superhero one? How does Queen’s
Gambit both embrace and subvert tropes in ways that make it such an
engaging story? And is Chess a superpower?
