White People Won't Save You Jordan Clark

First, all solidarity to the students protesting across the country. We're seeing some truly horrifying things but the strength and conviction is what's needed. The kids are holding it down and we need to do the same for them. 
With that said, we're back after a few live shows with the amazing Panama Jackson (The Grio) to talk about what may very well be the last good movie Cuba Gooding Jr. ever made, Men of Honor.
Also starring Robert De Niro, it tells the true story of the first Black master diver, Carl Brashear. Panama asks if this even qualifies as a white savior movie, we get into the deleted ending as well as some quality Tubi picks. 
Panama is someone we've been fans of for a long time. From his days at The Root and Very Smart Brothers to his amazing podcast Dear Culture over at The Grio, he's always on top of what's happening in Black culture. Give him a follow @panamajackson on all the socials! 
Many thanks to folks who joined us live in Brooklyn and Baltimore for our first two live shows! We have one more coming up at Caveat in NY on May 25th. Grab your tickets here to join us in person or on the livestream! 

We talking about Jazz y'all! Specifically the 2016 film, La La Land. The hype, the 14 Academy Award nominations, the viral Moonlight moment, 8 years later, is this movie still mid? You know it! 
We're joined by the hilarious Roxxy Haze to discuss, why did white people love this movie so much, did you remember any of the songs, and much more! 
Roxxy is so talented, you definitely need to check out support all she has going on. Comedy, music, articles, poetry! Find it all at her website or by following @roxxyhaze on Twitter and IG.

In celebration of our first live show coming this Sunday (April 14th at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective, get tickets here! ) we're flashing back to one of our first episodes! Hopefully you'll join us this Sunday and our guest Dylan Green (Pitchfork, Reel Notes Podcast) as we dive back into this mess!
 

Phew! Every once in a while we find a movie that makes you ask, "how is this real?" This is one of those ones. We call in WPWSY Hall of Famer Shawn Pryor to discuss a movie that has Tony Todd, Stacy Dash, and *checks notes* Ray Parker Jr.? 
We discuss the absurdity of the Vampire gang, give Psycho his flowers, and just marvel at the many wild turns this movie takes. 
Shawn is out here putting in work! Go to his website to find his upcoming slate of books hitting stores all throughout 2024! And find him on the socials at @theshawnpshow
Also, we're going to be live soon! April 14th is our first show at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective and we're super excited to see you all. Dylan Green will be joining us as we revisit one of our first episodes, White Man's Burden. Tickets go live soon on Brooklyncc.com so get yours and come through! 

Despite the title of the movie, we've got a lot to say about this one! Joined by our friends at Blerdy Massacre, we discuss the 2020 smash sequel A Quiet Place Part II. We discuss man on island, what we expect with two Black people in the upcoming film, and pick some of our favorite Black horror films!
Much love to Sharai and Xero for joining us! Do yourself a favor and check out their podcast ASAP to get your horror fix!  And follow them on the socials! 
Also, we're going on tour! Coming to New York and Baltimore in April and May. April 14th at Brooklyn Comedy Collective, April 26th at The Crown in Baltimore, and May 25th at Caveat in New York. More details coming soon, but we can't wait to see you all in person soon! 

Oh, you thought we were done!? After we finished talking with Aisha, we still had thoughts to get off, so enjoy this extended conversation as we get to more quotes from director Kobi Libbi, dig deeper into some of the supposed themes, and ask if Justice Smith's character stumbled on a copy of Wretched of the Earth after getting kicked out of the society. 
Some news! We're going to be live in NY and Baltimore coming up in April and May! Our first show is coming up April 14th at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective. Tickets are going on sale soon, so if you'll be in BK, come through and see us!
