MK339: Rock Climbing While Black (Affirmative Action Case, Whoopi Goldberg, More Joe Rogen, Euphoria, Anime)

Affirmative Action could be struck down this year by the supreme court in a case where conservatives have found the perfect defendant to prove it’s unnecessary (though we know it is). We give our 2 cents on Whoopi Goldberg’s comments about the holocaust, her apology, and her two week suspension from The View. Is this a double standard when Joe Rogen is still able to rage on? Plus Emerald dishes on rock climbing while black, her experiences watching Euphoria, and the anime shows that have caught her eye.

MK341: Doin the Most (TV Gayer Than Ever, Zoe Kravitz and Robert Pattinson, Ray Fisher & DC Continued, Star Wars Fandom Gatekeeping, Todrick Hall)

This week we close out Black History Month and transition into Women's History Month but first we have some things we'd like to discuss. Will DC finally apologize to Ray Fisher? If not, we welcome him to the Marvel universe there's so many characters to choose from! Speaking of DC, the cover of Entertainment Weekly has us all thirsting over Zoe Kravitz and Robert Pattinson as Catwoman and Batman for The Batman. Do we have a new couple on the horizon? Todrick Hall has been at the forefront of content creation on youtube and recently joined Big Brother but maybe we have to side eye our heroes once again. We have good news about LGBTQIA+ representation! Will this last or is it a trend? Speaking of trends In the main korner Mackenzie talks about her love and hate of the Star Wars fandom and why we need to stop with the gatekeeping. And we have tips on how you can help fight the Anti Trans laws in Texas.
