Listen "16. Green Book (2018)"
Episode Synopsis
'Green Book' tells white people that it's all good! Racism, man! Good thing that's over, amirite? From a shaky, ill-conceived premise comes a shaky, ill-conceived White Savior movie directed, of course, by "Dumb & Dumber" director Peter Farrelly. That said, Vigo and Mahershala do very good jobs with limited material. The movie itself is a by-the-numbers Odd Couple/Road Trip/Buddy Comedy with few surprises. But the clamor AROUND the movie is far more interesting and touches upon timely and topical themes like "who gets to tell what stories?" and "should you be faithful to a person's life and truth when making a movie at least in part about that person" and "Should we call this 'Green Book' even when it's about a white guy?". We also delve into the REAL Donald Shirley, play some of his music and listen to him talk about racism in America. ALSO HEADLINES (with our snappy theme-song): 'Green Book' Director Peter Farrelly and something else he pulled out of his lower region. Nick Vallelonga regrets his regrettable tweets. Jason suffers a real-time podcasting injury while making a joke about another man's physical challenges. Robot-on-robot crime and RANTS N RAVE, or at least Chris on the Go-Go's musical and a whole revealing section about Matt The Engineer.
