Tales from the Hood ft. Yassir Lester That Blackass Show

    • TV & Film

Writer, Comedian and Actor, Yassir Lester joins Dulcé Sloan in discussing the 1995 horror Anthology Tales from the Hood. In light of the nationwide protests and outrage due to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery by the hands of cops, Dulcé and Yassir talk about sensitive topics like racial inequality and police brutality while exploring the film. Full disclosure, Dulcé and Yassir scheduled this discussion nearly a month in advance of the recording, not knowing that the very relevant themes of police brutality highlighted in the movie would mirror the real life horrors we face and continue to fight today.
