This isn't a movie review podcast. Here we look at the cultural significance of what I call "white movies". Some of you may ask what is a white movie? Most American made movies are white movies.

White culture is so often overlooked, but movies are an artform that reflects culture and peoples thoughts and feelings about life. So what are these white movies saying about life and the people in America? That's what we're here to investigate.

we really just wanted to talk about Robert Zemeckis, but we begin talking about Forrest Gump a movie that barely holds water today for a few reasons. Though the story telling is still sweet and the tech is elite.
