    It’s Goin’ Down – S03/E15 WelcomeEpisode synopsisHBOMax Synopsis: A terror attack near Woodcrest is imminent, and domestic terrorist Huey Freeman is the main suspect.

Jack Flowers is a parody of Jack Bauer.The Central Terrorist Agency is not only a parody of Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) from 24, but also a parody of the real-life agency Central Intelligence Agency or more commonly known as the CIA.The ending of Omar Mohammed’s name “Ali Shahid Mohammed” is a possible reference to former ‘A Tribe Called Quest’ member, “Ali Shaheed Muhammad.”When Ruckus stomps Dan the Security Man’s private parts, “Stomp Em In The Nuts” by Thugnificent, another character from the show, is played in the background.Ruckus calls Jack Flowers, “the greatest white man since G.I. Joe”.After the flashbacks of the deaths of Flowers’ girlfriends, the commander claims “What kind of deranged Wile E. Coyote shit is that?”. This is a reference to Wile E. Coyote (from Looney Tunes)’s attempts at destroying The Road Runner, a gag from the famous Warner Bros. shorts.This is apparently Ed and Rummy’s final appearance in the series as they have not appeared in season 4.Many fans consider this episode as the true finale of the series, due to Aaron McGruder leaving after season 3 and the overall bad reception of season 4.Show Music: Intro:  #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.Outro:  Good Times by Audiobinger is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    The Fried Chicken Flu – S03/E13 WelcomeEpisode synopsisHBOMax Synopsis: When a fast food promotion crosses with a plague of biblical proportions, society spins out of control faster than you can say white meat only.

Winfrey provided coupons for free KFC chicken on her website. The promotion was so popular that the restaurants ran out of chicken causing customers to become irate across the country. Reports of riots at KFC locations spread but KFC later announced that the reports were false. But irate customers did stage protests and made angry statements in TV news reports. The customer saying “How am I supposed to feed my family now?!” is taken from an actual news report.It is implied that Jazmine might be vegetarian; she tells Grandad, “Fried chicken is murder”, when he asks if she wanted any at the beginning of the episode.  Show Music: Intro:  #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.Outro:  Good Times by Audiobinger is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    The Lovely Ebony Brown

    The Lovely Ebony Brown – S03/E11 WelcomeEpisode synopsisHBOMax Synopsis: Granddad finds a Black woman so beautiful and charming not even Ruckus can hate her. Ebony Brown is perfect in every way so is this the end of Granddad’s long, sad, desperate search for a woman?

Examples of this are:In the restaurant, Ebony comments directly on Uncle Ruckus’s character as being obviously reprehensible, but telling small grains of truth and therefore is funny and likable. Such a statement is appropriate of a real-life critic or fan, not of an in-series character.Sitting on the bench by the bridge at sunset, Ebony similarly comments on the features of Granddad’s character. She then goes on to say she wants to be a “recurring character”.In Malaysia, Ebony suggests slowing things down, saying there are plenty of episodes left in Granddad’s story. Granddad counters by talking about how he wants to speed things up, saying he’s not sure how many episodes he has left. This is likely a direct reflection by McGruder (voiced through Granddad) saying how he wants to heighten the intensity of the show because he is not sure how much longer the show will last. This notion is further corroborated by Season 3 being Aaron McGruder’s last season.  Show Music: Intro:  #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.Outro:  Good Times by Audiobinger is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The first was in “…Or Die Trying”.The word “pause” is used several times in the episode, referencing the previous episode “Pause”.The introduction of this episode parodies the Dateline NBC series “To Catch A Predator”, where investigator Chris Hansen confronts chat room predators looking to set up sexual liaisons with minors.Tom marches in a rally against Proposition 8, a 2008 constitutional amendment which initially banned same-sex marriage in California (it was overturned in 2013).

    Pause

    Pause – S03/E08 WelcomeEpisode synopsisHBOMax Synopsis: Granddad is cast as the leading man by mega-superstar of stage and screen, Winston Jerome. But when the theater group turns out to be a homoerotic evangelical cult, it’s up to Huey and Riley to put a pause to it.Pre Show: Tiara out for 2 epsWelcome back Demond – https://twitter.com/demonddoesSerial killersThe JerkSteve MartinChevy ChaseReminder:  https://www.patreon.com/boondockspodShow: Tyler Perry movies/playsKadeem HardisonKool-AidJonestown / Jim JonesNo Uncle RuckusDr. Pimple PopperRocky Horror Picture ShowChristopher ColumbusFlorida EvansNational Coming Out DayLove & BasketballWhite People Question: None today!Have a “Stupid White People Question” you want to leave us?Email us at Hosts@TheBoondocksPod.com or leave us a voicemail at ‪‪(760) 933-8636‬, that’s (760) WE-3-UNDO.Post Show: MartinDisputed Podcast – https://disputedpod.comBuffy/PreacherThe Boys / ScreamHalloween / Jamie Lee CurtisThe MunstersRob ZombieSeth Rogan & Evan GoldbergTriaminic / BenadrylNext week: A Date With The Booty WarriorNeed to see where we are on social media and such?  Come find us!  https://www.theboondockspod.com/linksTrivia: “Pause” is a phrase used in the urban community to express an air of awkwardness after a pseudo-homosexual statement is uttered. This is commonly followed by the phrase “No homo”.Uncle Ruckus does not appear in this episode.This episode along with The Story of Jimmy Rebel have been banned from Adult Swim and Hulu. The episode returned for an airing on May 29, 2020 on Adult Swim and the episode is on HBO Max.When the episode first aired on Adult Swim, it was rated TV-MA. But when it aired on May 29, 2020, it was re-rated TV-MA-LS. The reason behind this is currently unknown.ControversyThe similarities between Winston Jerome/Ma Dukes and Tyler Perry/Madea as well as the former’s portrayal towards the end of the episode has been directed to Tyler Perry via his website, e-mails and his Facebook and Twitter pages for comment. Fans of Tyler Perry have brought the episode to Mr. Perry’s attention hoping for comment and in some instances, urging him to sue Aaron McGruder and Cartoon Network. Tyler Perry addressed the controversy and at the same time put to rest rumors someone was fired after the episode aired Article at Shadow And Act. In the article he states he has no plans to sue Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks (likely in referral to Turner Broadcasting, which owns Cartoon Network and TBS, which airs 3 of Perry’s shows) though some readers are skeptical as to whether this is really true. Although Tyler Perry is very familiar with McGruder’s work (and obviously vice versa for Aaron with Tyler’s work), those who are skeptical of Tyler’s statement believe it maybe be a placeholder to an actual pending complaint filed against McGruder.The Boondocks creator himself is of course known for controversy. He has a real-life feud with BET, openly criticized George W. Bush and even (reportedly) dissed Condoleezza Rice at the 2002 NAACP awards. He is considered an “outcast” by the American Black Power Establishment because of his leftist views and shocked many when he visited Cuba in 2003 and met with then-president Fidel Castro. One possible end result of this little facade is both men using the attention to promote their respective shows, movies/plays (Perry) and Comic Strips (McGruder), though this is unlikely since The Boondocks comic strip was cancelled in 2006, four years prior to this episodeCultural referencesThe character Winston Jerome is, as mentioned above, a parody of playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry. Jerome’s character Ma Dukes (who he crossdresses to portray) and the play at the beginning are parodies of Tyler Perry’s character Mabel Simmons—known as Madea—and his plays and films.The episode parodies The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the songs “Sweet Transvestite” and “The Time Warp”.When Granddad recalls his acting career a flashback shows him auditioning for In the Heat of the Night, Enter the Dragon, and Rocky III.The” brown skinned bald dude from Law and Order ” is a reference to Steve Harris who plays as one of the antagonists in the film production of Diary of a Mad Black Woman.The blonde-haired overweight black woman (a parody of Cassi Davis: an actress that is frequently cast in Tyler Perry’s theatrical productions, as well as the television series: Tyler Perry’s House of Payne) seen through-out the episode in a zombie-like trance, states on two occasions that she “is going to get some Kool-Aid”. This is a reference to the mass suicide executed by the 909 members of The Peoples Temple Church led by Jim Jones. They all died by consuming cyanide-laced grape Flavor Aid. (The term “drinking the Kool-Aid” originates from this incident.)  Show Music: Intro:  #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.Outro:  Good Times by Audiobinger is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
