White People Won't Save You Jordan Clark

We're live! Coming to you from Caveat in NYC, we pulled out all the stops for the last live show of the spring. Joined by pod favorite Aileen Clark (of Uy Que Horror!) we discuss everyone's horny fave, 1999's The Mummy. 
The Millennial classic turned 25 and we have a lot of thoughts. From if hotness determined your survival, Evelyn's eyebrows or lack thereof, and all the messiness behind the brownface. 
If you missed us and would like to check out the livestream of this show, go to https://www.caveat.nyc/events/white-people-wont-save-you-5-25-2024 and click livestream to get the VOD of the show. Tickets will be up until June 31st so don't delay!
We couldn't have done any of this without you, the listeners, so thank you all so much!

Sometimes you gotta pop up and show n****s! Wow, what a week and change it's been for Hip-Hop. We actually had recorded something last Thursday and well...you know what happened. But we couldn't not talk about Kendrick and Drake and everything it means. 
The culture, the music, the jokes, the wild takes! We cover it all and more! 
And just a reminder our last live show of the Spring is coming up soon. May 25th at Caveat in NYC! Tickets are live now on the website and there's also a streaming option to watch from the comfort of your own home! Aileen from Uy Que Horror is joining us and you won't want to miss it! 

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. 
As for us, we just did our first live show! Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Brooklyn! We have another show coming up on April 26th at The Crown in Baltimore, so if you're in the area, come out and see us. As always, follow us at @white_pod and hit us up at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com 

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!
