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.
