Episode description

In 1987 it was a different landscape for Black actors trying to make it big in Hollywood and this week's movie, "Hollywood Shuffle" shows the struggles of trying to get in that door but with a comedic spin. Oh yes it's still Black History Month and we finally get to talk about a Robert Townsend movie, his first even! If you haven't noticed yet, this is the longest episode so far and it's because other than the movie we also get into discussions about film making, unnecessary labeling, racist clothing brands, Patrice Rushen, FUBU, Aquaman, Siskel & Ebert, Jeri-Curls, the current state of comedy, the struggles of growing up black and being labeled "soft" and we give our thoughts on the Liam Neeson situation. jam packed episode this week and we hope you enjoy it!
