Welcome to Woodcrest - Episode 0

Welcome, one and all (well, you know who you are), to The Boondocks Podcast!
Our inaugural episode is not one of the actual show itself, but an introduction of our wonderful hosts (Lynxi, MJ, and Tiara), who they are, what the show means to them, and how the show will run.

Side note: This is the first time all of the hosts have met together.

The consistent themes of the show, aside from the TV show, will be social (in)justice, black lives, and a bit of politics here and there.

Some of the discussion that happened in this episode are:

  • How relatable this show is still today.
  • How the show made us feel
  • The show's themes, words, and their impact.
  • Our experiences
  • "Stupid White People Questions" segment
    • Today's questions: "How can 'all lives matter' be racist?"
    • If you have a "Stupid White People" question, reach out to us on
  • Black history
  • James Baldwin
  • "A lotta bit racist"
  • Black Lives Matter
  • How we ended up here.
  • How often Trump lies
    • Statistic: This information is being tracked. Trump currently leads all presidents in this category at 19 lies per day. The average person lies just under twice a day. Obama actually lied less than that at just under 1 a day.
      The presidential lies are just from what's on record.
  • Education

Granddad's Fight - S01/E04

Pre-Show:

    • Greetings
    • Shout-outs: Dennis Gugin - Got Tom done and Riley’s looking good! Working on Huey now too!

Episode:

  • Synopsis:
    • IMDB Synopsis: After getting beaten up by the mean and blind Col. Stinkmeaner, a humiliated Granddad wants a rematch.
    • Our Synopsis: We've all been here.
  • Trump's been having n---ga moments.
  • Confirmation bias

  • Call people out on their bullshit

(Stupid) White People Questions:

    • This is actually from Bree Newsome Bass’ Twitter: “How can someone be racist if they parented Black or mixed race children?”
      • Even Black people can be racist against Black people.
      • There are biases that people have and things aren't done on purpose.
      • Getting offended at "that's racist" is not helpful.
      • White folks have racial biases that they don't even realize. You'll say things that you don't realize that are racist. You'll keep fucking up, but you have to LEARN, stop old behaviors, and grow.
      • It's not enough to be "not racist", you have to be "anti racist".
      • There is SO much information that can help parents these days to learn.

Post Show Info:

Trivia:

  • After Granddad tells Huey that he’s not afraid, Huey responds with “Oh, you will be. You will be.” This is a reference to Yoda responding to the same thing to Luke Skywalker in Empire Strikes Back
  • Huey admonishes Granddad’s training by saying “What was that? An exhibition? You need emotional content. Now, try again”. This is a line said by Bruce Lee to one of his students in Enter the Dragon

Trivia:

  • “Pause” is a phrase used in the urban community to express an air of awkwardness after a pseudo-homosexual statement is uttered. This is commonly followed by the phrase “No homo”.
  • Uncle Ruckus does not appear in this episode.
  • This episode along with The Story of Jimmy Rebel have been banned from Adult Swim and Hulu. The episode returned for an airing on May 29, 2020 on Adult Swim and the episode is on HBO Max.
    When the episode first aired on Adult Swim, it was rated TV-MA. But when it aired on May 29, 2020, it was re-rated TV-MA-LS. The reason behind this is currently unknown.
  • Controversy
    The similarities between Winston Jerome/Ma Dukes and Tyler Perry/Madea as well as the former’s portrayal towards the end of the episode has been directed to Tyler Perry via his website, e-mails and his Facebook and Twitter pages for comment. Fans of Tyler Perry have brought the episode to Mr. Perry’s attention hoping for comment and in some instances, urging him to sue Aaron McGruder and Cartoon Network. Tyler Perry addressed the controversy and at the same time put to rest rumors someone was fired after the episode aired Article at Shadow And Act. In the article he states he has no plans to sue Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks (likely in referral to Turner Broadcasting, which owns Cartoon Network and TBS, which airs 3 of Perry’s shows) though some readers are skeptical as to whether this is really true. Although Tyler Perry is very familiar with McGruder’s work (and obviously vice versa for Aaron with Tyler’s work), those who are skeptical of Tyler’s statement believe it maybe be a placeholder to an actual pending complaint filed against McGruder.
    The Boondocks creator himself is of course known for controversy. He has a real-life feud with BET, openly criticized George W. Bush and even (reportedly) dissed Condoleezza Rice at the 2002 NAACP awards. He is considered an “outcast” by the American Black Power Establishment because of his leftist views and shocked many when he visited Cuba in 2003 and met with then-president Fidel Castro. One possible end result of this little facade is both men using the attention to promote their respective shows, movies/plays (Perry) and Comic Strips (McGruder), though this is unlikely since The Boondocks comic strip was cancelled in 2006, four years prior to this episode
    Cultural references
  • The character Winston Jerome is, as mentioned above, a parody of playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry. Jerome’s character Ma Dukes (who he crossdresses to portray) and the play at the beginning are parodies of Tyler Perry’s character Mabel Simmons—known as Madea—and his plays and films.
  • The episode parodies The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the songs “Sweet Transvestite” and “The Time Warp”.
  • When Granddad recalls his acting career a flashback shows him a...

Pre-Show:

  • Shout out to Dennis Gugin for working on the main characters (Grandad, Huey, and Riley) as well as US as custom Pop! Vinyl figures! Dennis has made some great characters over the years, so you should check him out on Facebook at https://facebook.com/dgPopCustoms.

Episode:

  • Synopsis: The Freeman family get invited to a garden party in the new neighborhood they've moved in to.

  • White Oprah

(Stupid) White People Questions:

    • From Twitter: “How is not seeing race racist? Please explain because I thought racism is treating people a certain way based on the color of their skin, and the antithesis of that is treating everyone equally.
      • If you don't see color, you're absolving yourself of the responsibility to stand up for someone who's being treated differently because the color of their skin.

Trivia:

  • Grandad said that he “went and spent all your inheritance to buy this house”. We can assume that Huey and Riley’s parents are dead and had good life insurance and that Grandad is the conservator of the inheritance for the boys.
  • Ed Wuncler stated that “In 30 years, that boy’s going to become the President of the United States and he’ll still be an idiot.” in reference to Ed III. That’s because Ed III is based off of George W. Bush.
  • The infomercial/video that Grandad was working out to was for Tae Bo by Billy Blanks. Billy Blanks was a somewhat well known martial artist actor back in the late 80s through the 90s. During the 90s, Blanks created a martial arts/dance-based set of exercise videos that were marketed by infomercial throughout the decade and became quite popular.

    • Why?

    • It’s not like it’s untrue. Our country runs on systemic racism and white privilege.
    • Trump as a microcosm
    • History of conquering races
    • Lost knowledge from different cultures

Post Show Info:

Trivia:

  • The last line of the episode, “Don't anybody go in the bathroom for 35 or 45 minutes. Whew! Open the window!”, is a reference to a very similar line John Witherspoon’s character, Willie Jones, said in Friday.
  • This is the only episode in the series to not feature the "n" word.
  • The montage song, "Straight Outta the Oven, Made with Nothin' But Lovin", was written and performed by Asheru.
