White People Won't Save You

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!

And as always you can follow us @white_pod on Twitter as well as write into us at [email protected] Send us your movie recs, your white nonsense, and whatever else you've got. Also if you'd be so kind, rate, review, and comment on the show wherever you podcast. Thanks for listening, we'll catch you again next week!

Doctor Strange (Feat. Pallavi Gunalan)

On this weeks episode, we tap into the Multiverse of white saviors as we discuss 2016's Marvel blockbuster, Doctor Strange.

Joined by the hilarious Pallavi Gunalan (Lovett or Leave It) we open a portal into the controversies surrounding Tilda Swinton's casting as The Ancient One, Asian representation in Hollywood, and decide if this movie passes our Black-del test (spoiler...no).

Pallavi is incredibly funny and incredibly talented, so if you aren't familiar let's change that. Follow on Twitter and Instagram @pallavigunalan and check out Facial Recognition Comedy. Also, check out Pallavi's website to learn more about an awesome tutoring program for Black students she started and how you can get involved.
