One of the best episodes yet. TAJ & Will are joined by their good friend Kenny of “Conversations with YourMomsFavorite”, who calls in for this special episode. They start with some quick pro-vax talk, and then they discuss the film: Judas and the Black Messiah (7:50). Their breakdown touches on pros and cons of casting the same people for the underrepresented, and also whether films portraying the Black plight are traumatizing for Black viewers (15:45). They talk about Meghan McCain’s comments on “identity politics”, her qualifications, and representation after posting her support for #StopAsianHate (29:05). Then, TAJ & Will get into a heated discussion about whether Asian people are doing enough to lead the #StopAsianHate movement and TAJ gets into the stark reality of Asian people not being seen, heard, or checked on (37:25). The unfiltered back-and-forth continues with a discussion about Asian representation, anti-Blackness, and the root cause of societal divide (50:15). Super packed episode. Rock with us.
