Hitting You Like a Sack of Wet Mice

This week on Sneople, the Sneople cover a genre proves a little tricky to define, spans movies, tv, books, and comics, and incites an argument (or two) amongst our hosts - Urban Fantasy! This episode starts, as many do, with definitions - what exactly makes an urban fantasy movie, and how is it different from straight up monster movies or something with fantasy elements that takes place in modern times? After a quick but decisive discussion, the Sneople move onto some of their favorites of the genre, dig through multiple lists of “urban fantasy” media to decide if they actually count as part of the genre, and get into why it’s so hard to make urban fantasy work on film. They also, as always, get severely off topic, look at a lot of weird wiki pages, and learn about new weird stuff that they now obviously have to read/watch. Not necessarily in that order. If you disagree with their definition of urban fantasy and/or want to submit recs for good urban fantasy to read or watch, their email inbox is always open. Keep in mind that they are extremely right about what urban fantasy is, but arguing is still fun anyway!
