Breakin' (Feat Shawn Pryor)
White People Won't Save You
08/19/21 • 129 min
Time to hit the floor with the JCS crew (That's Jordan, Cameron, and Shawn) as we talk about the 1984 Hip-Hop smash hit, Breakin'. We've all known Kelly was trifling but we needed a special guest to help us...break it down (sorry). Shawn Pryor (Author of the forthcoming graphic novel Fast Break) joins us and talks seeing Breakin' in theaters as well as pitching us a movie with Ozone and Turbo as the stars.

Django Unchained Pt. 2 (Feat. Fiq the Signifier)
White People Won't Save You
11/18/21 • 60 min
Part two with our special guest, Fiq the Signifier finds us getting into this research and ranking Django on our Caucacity Meter. Did Tarintino make the greatest slavery film ever? He certainly thinks so. Also Fiq shares a behind the scenes story about Leo and Sam Jackson, and we think about how to remake this movie in a way that keeps the exploration but loses the white savior.
You absolutely need to subscribe to Fiq's channel to catch up on all the amazing work he's putting out. He's got videos on everything from allyship, to Bo Burnham's latest special, to the gender politics of Love and Basketball. If you like us, you'll love what he's got going on.

We got another two parter! This week we saddle up and head to Candyland with Fiq the Signifier to talk Quentin Tarintino's 2012 spaghetti western slavery revenge mash-up, Django Unchained.
In this first part we discuss what if this movie was made for Black people, the difference between Tarintino and Paul Wall, and the differences between Django and Inglorious Bastards. Also, Fiq learns that a white man directed The Wiz.

To Kill A Mockingbird (Feat. Skyler Higley)
White People Won't Save You
03/30/23 • 143 min
The time has finally come for us to go back to where it all started. It may not be the first, but 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird is without a doubt the grandfather of all white savior movies.
That's why we brought in the hilarious Skyler Higley (Conan, The Onion) to help us get to the heart of why this film (and book) still endure. We answer probing questions like is Atticus Finch a good white man, why did Tom have to die for Scout to learn a lesson, and what exactly is a chifforobe?
Also, we talk Chapelle/Chris Rock and the white gaze in entertainment.
Skyler is one of the funniest comics performing today and you should absolutely be on the look out when he comes to your town. Like tonight (March 30th) he'll be in Salt Lake City performing at Wiseguys Comedy. Also follow him on Twitter (@skyler_higley) and IG (@skylerhigley) and his website!
And as always, you can follow us on Twitter at @white_pod and hit us up at [email protected] We'll be back next week with...*shudders* Ernest Goes to Africa.

A Time to Kill (Feat. Bryndon Cook)
White People Won't Save You
04/14/22 • 159 min
We make a return trip to Mississippi this week as we discuss the 1996 John Grisham film, A Time To Kill.
We're joined by the multi-talented Bryndon Cook (Tick Tick...BOOM! and Starchild & The New Romantic) to talk about how a movie could pack so many white saviors into one story. We also ask if this is Samuel L. Jackson's most iconic performance, the absurdity of Matthew McConaughey's final speech, and if we can get a biopic of the Black woman who slaps the grand wizard.
Bryndon is an incredible talent. Stay up with everything they have going on by following the Twitter (@thisisbryndon) and also checking out the website and Soundcloud!

It's the premiere! And it's only right we tackle the 2018 Best Picture winner, Green Book. This movie y'all...it tries every last nerve and then finds new ones. In part one we analyze the movie itself and everything wrong with it.
Tony Lipp as the lead? Don Shirley doesn't know Black people? The chicken!
Part two is available now as well where we dive into the films critical reception and imagine it focusing solely on Dr. Don Shirley as it should have always been.

White People Won't Save You

We've got a very special bonus episode for y'all! Last week, the newest installment in the Candyman series dropped and it's basically the whole thesis of our show. What if a white savior movie got remade by Black people? So we absolutely had to talk about this one.

We discuss the differences between the 1992 original and the newest film, the many themes layered throughout, what works, what doesn't, and the future of Black horror.
