In this episode our hosts take a different direction, they don't even introduce themselves, we find them in mid-conversation and from there touch myriad of topics such as how movies like The Photograph are just lame social mobility pieces for a small group of Black folks, the beauty of Black support, Spike Lee's Bamboozled, movies we're horrified that are coming out, the Oscar front runner Nomadland and how it caters to white liberal poverty tourism. Check it. We go in and take no prisoners while also having a lot of laughs.

He joins Within Our Gates this week to discuss his Vernon Philosophy of Black Media Avoidance, and we discuss how and why Black people need to consider this particular lens when looking at Hollywood Cinema and media in general when Black people or Blackness is the subject.
