    Horses and Athletics

    Prey and The Comanche

    The movie Prey kicks ass and is a shining example of Native representation in media. In this episode, Grant breaks down the real history of the Comanche people the movie is based on, checks in on the historical accuracy of Prey, and makes an argument for more entertainment media to up their minority representation.
