A long but worthwhile episode this week as we dive into the recent Running Man adaption from Edgar Wright. It got us thinking about other films this year that have aspired to thoughts about political revolution and fallen short. We cover parts of Wic... more

This is out of left field, I’ve recently been watching The Jefferson and thought I would enjoy hearing you guys talk about that show and possibly other Black shows of that genre and time. Keep up the good work.
I'm so sick of this push for racial divisiveness. It seems like it's everywhere these days. Enough of this obsession with race.
I love the idea behind this podcast. But just like Black Men Can’t Jump [In Hollywood], the hosts are annoying and rude. Often talking over each other and their guests. I simply can’t bare to listen to it anymore.

Focused on dissecting the white savior trope in cinema, this podcast offers a critical examination of films that often misrepresent or marginalize Black and People of Color (PoC) characters. With a blend of humor and insightful critique, the hosts navigate controversial films, unpacking racist narratives and problematic portrayals while spotlighting the voices and experiences of those typically sidelined. Each episode features thoughtful discussions about the historical context of the films, their societal implications, and how they reflect ongoing issues within race relations in America. Notably, the podcast not only critiques but also reimagines these stories, aiming to inspire a more balanced narrative in media.
