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. Made for and by white people. If you have trouble with that just think about what you would call a Black movie and why and then reverse it. 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.

Jazz!
This week we fix the hit movie Whiplash directed by Damian Chazelle. This movie did well in its run and even won a bunch of awards but it still left us feeling....unsatisfied.
We go through the ups and downs of the movie and propose a few "fixes", all in good fun!
Then we talk about the culture that praises abusive teachers and mentors and discuss on this movie is the anti-Karate Kid. What great timing for us, right?
Like, subscribe, comment, share and enjoy our take on Whiplash.
