    Imperium (Feat. Brandon Collins)

    We're kicking off the New Year with some absolute foolishness as we discuss the movie where Harry Potter goes undercover as a white supremacist. That's right, we're talking about 2016's Imperium and we're joined by the wonderful Brandon Collins of Medium Popcorn and Drunk Black History.  We ask why Daniel Radcliffe looks like he's  about to cry in every scene, if the movie understands the difference between all these white supremacist groups, and if the Black friend in the movie ever got a sorry for calling you a nigger at that klan march text.  Brandon is one of the best out there and he's got something special in the works for this year. His Drunk Black History show is doing some live dates coming up over the next few months and you won't want to miss it! Follow him at @americancollins on Twitter and go to https://www.frodoblackins.com/ to get tickets! And as always, check out Medium Popcorn wherever you get your podcast! We got big plans for the year, so stay tuned as we put everything together. Everyone out in L.A. stay safe, and we'll see you in two weeks!

    Quigley Down Under (Feat. .Kristal Adams)

    Did you ever think you were watching one movie and ended up seeing another? That's the horror our wonderful guest comedian and comic writer Kristal Adams faced, thinking she was going to watch Rescuers Down Under and instead having to sit through Quigley Down Under.  Kristal joins us to tell her harrowing tale as we break down Tom Selleck's last desperate attempt to make his Indiana Jones dreams come true. We discuss the inherit problems with the Western, Cameron shows off his Alan Rickman impression, and much more.  Kristal's comic Mutiny: Black Girl Magic is a must read! The second issue just wrapped on Kickstarter and you absolutely need to grab a copy when they drop. She's also co-owner of FairSquare Comics which publishes some amazing books that tell the kinds of stories we need more of. Find everything she has going on at @thedarkkristal on IG and TikTok.  We've got more episodes dropping soon, including our best of 2024 round ups and our annual Holiday episode. Keep up with everything at @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TIkTok and on our last days of Twitter @white_pod!

    Election/Quincy Jones Tribute

    Hello friends! We hope everyone has been hanging in. We ourselves had to take a little break following the election as well as for the Holidays, but we're back to finish the year out strong.  This particular episode was recorded the week of the election but we thought it might be best to let it sit for a bit, since we're sure many of you are also still getting your heads around everything. We give our thoughts as well as suggest ways to help going into next year.  We end with a celebration of the genius of Quincy Jones and his contributions to music, film, and culture.  We'll also be dropping another episode tomorrow along with our 2024 end of year special and holiday special later this month.  Be well and take care of each other and yourselves as we head into 2025.

    Ghost Brigade (Feat. Justina Ireland)

    Happy Halloween! As scary as the real world is, we figured everyone could use a break and a really dumb movie, so here's 1993's Ghost Brigade. Also known as Grey Knight, Killing Box, and The Lost Brigade this civil war zombie can't even get the "zombie" or "civil war" part right.  Joined by the one and only Justina Ireland (Amazing Spider-Man, Star Wars: The High Republic, Dread Nation) joins us to discuss Ray Wise's questionable relationship with his horse, Cynda Williams as the magical voodoo enslaved woman, and much more!  Justina is the first woman to work on a run of Amazing Spider-Man and you should absolutely pick it up on November 16th! Also check out her website for more books and info! And you can find us on all the socials (@whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TikTok and @white_pod on Twitter) where we'll be dropping more fun stuff in the near future. Take care of yourselves this upcoming week and we'll see you soon.

    The Adventures of Huck Finn (Feat Marcus Kwame Anderson and David F. Walker)

    Ride with us down the Mississippi as we speak with the award winning duo of David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson about 1993's The Adventure of Huck Finn and more importantly their new graphic novel reimagining of Mark Twain's classic, Big Jim and The White Boy.  That's right, their new book shifts the perspective to Jim and gives more context to his life and story, literally what we talk about on the podcast each episode. We discuss the Disneyfication of slavery, how their new book fills in Jim's story, and so much more! You can buy Big Jim and The White Boy wherever books are sold! Preorder now or go to the store on October 15th and grab a copy! Maybe even check out one of these Black bookstores! You can find more of David's excellent work (like the incredible Bitter Root) at his website. Same for Marcus.  If you like to reach out to us, as always we're at @white_pod on Twitter and at @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and Tiktok. Or hit us up at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com  And we'll be back with more in two weeks, including some Halloween themed episodes!

    Rebel Ridge

    Special episode alert! Today we discuss the new Netflix film Rebel Ridge, very much the kind of movie that inverts our usual films. A movie about civil asset forfeiture doesn't sound too exciting, but there's a lot of good things to be found in this one.  All that said, we do have a few issues which leads to an interesting discussion about white filmmakers tackling Black stories, choices Black actors make in those roles, and more!  Check us out on all the social medias now! @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TikTok and @White_pod on Twitter.  We've got some great episodes coming your way soon, specifically a conversation with David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson, the duo behind the reimagined Huck Finn graphic novel Big Jim and The White Boy.

    The Beekeeper (Feat. Julian Lytle)

    Bzzz bzz that's the sound of the... Beekepers? Joined by WPWSY All Star Julian Lyltle, we discuss the 2024 breakout hit The Beekeeper.  Jason Statham kicking ass in all his glory, but our real interest here is one Phlyicia Rashad. We wonder what makes this a lowkey savior film, if Jason Statham has ever made a truly bad movie, and much more.  Find Julian wherever you do your social media at @julianlytle and find us on the socials @white_pod on Twitter and at @whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod on IG and TikTok.  We'll back soon with a special episode on Rebel Ridge.

    Thunderstruck

    And now, starting at white savior, from the university of "who the hell thought this was a good idea", 2014's Thunderstruck! Truly one of the most puzzling films of the 2010's, Thunderstruck is at once a movie that thought it would make sense to star the notoriously anti-social Kevin Durant but also decided that would be enough (it wasn't, it didn't even make a million at the box office).  We discuss why this kid didn't immediately declare for the NBA draft, who the best hoopers turned actors are, and how exactly did this literal child have a bathroom connected to his room.  Also, we're on all the socials now! Find us on TikTok and IG (whitepeoplewontsaveyou) and you can finally watch our live show from Caveat on Youtube  We'll bee back in two weeks with 2024's The Beekeeper!
