We got a NYT Bestseller in the house! On this episode we're joined by the immensely talented Justina Ireland (Dread Nation, Lando's Luck) to discuss the 1987 Civil War Epic, Glory.
So first off, Jupiter Sharts? Really? Also, we break down the story behind "The Tear", give props to the bevy of Black acting talent, question if Shaw was any good at war, and get into the true history of the 54th regiment.
And if that wasn't enough, we introduce maybe our greatest drop yet.
You can find Justina's books wherever books are sold! Visit her website here, and follow her on Twitter at @justinaireland
Movies recommended: No movies, but read Dread Nation and Reminiscences of My Life in Camp: An African American Woman's Civil War Memoir.

The Principal (Feat.Vick Damone Jr. & Shawn Pryor)
What a crazy movie...
With Cameron out on his acting grind, Jordan is joined by returning guest Shawn Pryor and from the #allpodsmatter podcast the hilarious Vick Damone Jr. to discuss a favorite of the wrap around sunglasses crowd, 1987's The Principal.
Jim Belushi basically beats up Black and brown kids for 109 minutes and we have questions. Like how, and why? Also, is Michael Wright the greatest example of Black don't crack? And Vick hits us with some great Oakland trivia and history.
Check out #Allpodcastsmatter wherever you get your podcast. Vick is out here reviewing the latest movies as well as talking pop culture and politics. And follow Vick at @itsdamone
Also Shawn is currently running a Kickstarter for the 3rd part of his comic series Ignition! "Struggling to make ends meet & fighting for custody of her son, Jemele Reid accepts a transporter job, taking Spencer & his "cargo" from Dayton, OH to Las Vegas in a little over a day. And that leads to TROUBLE."

Next Episode
El Dorado (Feat. Danielle G.)
It's colonization for the whole family! This week we're joined by Danielle G. of the Young, Gifted, and Abroad podcast to talk about the 2000 Dreamworks film, The Road to El Dorado.
From the Chel of it all, to the colonizer rock of Elton John, this movie was something else. We ask what Miguel and Tulio were even bringing to the table, question the repeated trope of outsiders bringing salvation to indigenous people, and the spicy, spicy reviews of this film.
Movies recommended: The Prince of Egypt, Life, O Brother, Where Out Thou?
Danielle has been putting out the YGaA podcast since 2018! That's some incredible work, and if you've ever studied abroad or are thinking about doing it, this is a must. Each episode speaks to a different person of color about their experiences studying in different countries. New season is in the works too, so now is the perfect time to catch up.
Next week we have a very special family episode as both Jordan and Cameron's sisters join to talk about a terrible, terrible movie, Black or White. And the week after, join us for a special end of year episode where we talk about our first few episodes, our favorite Black and Poc media of 2021, and look forward to 2022. You can follow the show on twitter at @ygabroad.
