Not for the ”feeble-minded!” This month, David and Devin are joined by writer/film critic Tori Potenza to talk about basically everything that’s horrible in America: systemic racism and white privilege.
“Should we eugenics?” is a question posed when analyzing ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1932), adapted from an H.G. Wells classic and notoriously banned when the Hays Code took effect. We hope for a more cheery analysis with the 2019 film US, written and directed by Jordan Peele, but find more of the same old systemic racism bullsh**.
Remember when everything sucked but now it’s better? LOL
(Also please, don’t eugenics.)
