Black Guys on White Movies. Yes, that means most movies.

Join me, Aaron Covington, the co-writer of CREED, to talk about white movies. What is a white movie? It's simple! Movies made for and by white people. In America that's a vast majority of the movies! I am often joined by my good friend and cinephile Bernard Harris and in our movie reviews we ask one important question of these films and that is "How white is this movie?"

    Old School (2003) is a cultural milestone | Will Ferrell | Vince Vaughan | Luke Wilson | Todd Phillips

    This week we talk Old School. A movie that perfectly encapsulates the changing attitudes in comedy and America at the turn of the millenium. One of the birth of the frat-pack movies, this film shows us the gen-x midlife crisis and is really a fantasy film for that demographic. It was hugely influential. We were both college studends at the time this movie came out and we saw it's influence and reach first hand. Everyone loved it. It was monumental. but what does it say? It's a ...

    Gladiator 2 (2024) | Ridley Scott | Denzel Washington | Ancient Rome

    Denzel Washginton's new movie Gladiator 2 is a mixed bag!We talk the history of historical epic movies and the responsibility to make accurate or not. In this case, not so much, but that's fine because it's entertainment, right? We talk the power of an actor like Denzel Washington. We look at what worked and didn't work and then we try to put the movie in a modern context. What messages is this movie sending, that it needed ancient rome as a setting to get across to us. Is this movi...

    How White is Forrest Gump? and a look at the career of Robert Zemeckis!

    we really just wanted to talk about Robert Zemeckis, but we begin talking about Forrest Gump a movie that barely holds water today for a few reasons. Though the story telling is still sweet and the tech is elite. A look at Robert Zemeckis' career takes us on a journey through technology in movies that enhances our own world rather than create new ones. It's fascinating and his ability to go between genres and styles is second to none. Gives RZ his flowers!Support the showhttps://www...

    How white is Man of the Year? Robin Williams leads presidential political satire

    We talk about 2006's Man of the Year, a political satire where a comedian KIND OF becomes president, at least for a little while. The movie falls flat but brings up some interesting thoughts about the state of media in 2006 and how this movie's noticeable lack of any diversity echoes a change in the media landscape of that time with regards to Black representation. A period of time that I call 'The Crossover Era'. It's been bleak ever since!But what's not bleak? Our discussion of 2006's ...

    How white is A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and the insecurity of suburban life

    We tackle Freddy head on, but not in our dreams, on a podcast. What's up with the trend of 80s horror being set in the suburbs? What darkness lies beneath perfectly trimmed lawns? We talk Wes Craven and how he parodied himself into another franchise with scream and got parodied by the Wayans brothers into yet another franchise. Is he the franchise king? And we wonder how the suburbs is the perfect place to stage horror. The false sense of safety is the perfect backdrop and how these...
