A Bit of Background Information • September 26th, 2010 • Lloyd Leonard Ahlquist • Peter Alexander Shukoff • Audience is of utmost importance
Questioning the Official Story • Is it really just about the audience? • Do the Epic Rap Battles have any meaning to them? • Do the Epic Rap Battles make any political, social, or religious claim? • If so, what is it? • How do the episodes make a claim and support it?
Why This Episode? • First in the series • Each character clearly represents an ideology • It set the tone for the rest of the series
Segmenting the Video • Section 1 – Intro • Section 2 – Lennon 1 • Section 3 – O’ Reilly 1 • Section 4 – Lennon 2 • Section 5 – O’ Reilly 2 • Section 6 – Closing
