White People Won't Save You

"WAKANDA FOREVER!" Welcome to the first of many conversations about Wakanda Forever, the latest installment in the MCU and perhaps the biggest film this year. Joining us to talk about the movie as well as the comics is writer and journalist extraordinaire, Evan Narcisse!

We talk about his work on titles like Rise of the Black Panther and Wakanda, what makes T'Challa the hero he is, the comics to screen adaptions, and much more!

Find Evan's work wherever you buy comics! He's worked on books like New Day: Power of Positivity, Rise of the Black Panther, and the current Batman: Gotham Knights - Gilded City and Wakanda. Evan also helped work on games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Red Fall! And follow him on social media at @evnarc

We'll have more Wakanda Forever coverage soon, so be on the lookout! Until then, follow us at @white_pod and hit us up at [email protected]

Wildcats (Feat. Shane Paul Neil)

"It's the sport of kings/better than diamond rings", that's right, we're talking about football, specifically the 1986 "comedy" Wildcats. Starring Goldie Hawn and the film debut for both Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes, you'd think it would at least be mildly entertaining. Instead they just turned the 80's to the max and let the cameras roll.

Luckily we have Shane Paul Neil as our QB to guide us through the wacky world of this movie. From Nipsey Russell's closet full of peanut brittle, Finch's food gags, horny Wesley jumping on anything that moves, or Goldie's terrible parenting, we talk about it all.

You can find Shane on Twitter @ShanePaulNeil (while it still exists) as well as check out his photography and writing over at his site. And if you're looking for some holiday gifts, check out his shop for some amazing photos!

As always, find us @white_pod on the sinking ship known as Twitter and hit us up at [email protected] to share your thoughts, movie suggestions and more. Thankful to you all for listening, and we'll be back next week with Bassey Ikpi for A Family Thing.

Next Episode

A Family Thing (Feat. Bassey Ikpi)

One of these things is not like the other...it's Robert Duvall. That's right, we're talking about the perplexing 1996 movie A Family Thing. Long time listeners might recognize this as the movie Jordan's sister thought she was watching for the Black or White episode. Starring Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones, the movie fails by it's very premise of trying to convince us Robert Duvall is even .00000001% Black.

We're so excited to be joined by the legendary and hilarious Bassey Ikpi (I'm Telling the Truth but I'm Lying) to break down all the ways this movie went wrong. From the relationship between the two "brothers" to the big mamma trope, to where exactly does "nigger town" begin and end.

Bassey is one of the funniest and thoughtful people around! Her writing on mental health is incredible stuff and her book is a must read. You can find her at www.basseyipi.com as well as Twitter (@basseyworld) and Instagram (@basseyworld)

We're still holding on to the strands of Twitter over at @white_pod and you can always reach us at [email protected]

We've got more Wakanda Forever coverage coming your way soon, as well as some end of year wrap ups and our second annual Holiday episode, so stay tuned!
