Wake

We examine how HBO’s series “Watchmen” and Bong Joon Ho’s film “Parasite” bring to light the hidden histories that shape our modern lives.

Discussed this week:

• “Parasite” (directed by Bong Joon Ho, 2019)
• “Watchmen” (HBO, 2019)
• “White Flights: Race, Fiction, and the American Imagination” (Jess Row, 2019)
• “In the Wake: On Blackness and Being“ (Christina Sharpe, 2016)

We're going on hiatus, but we'll be back in your ears in early 2020!
