Listen "How white is Man of the Year? Robin Williams leads presidential political satire"

Episode Synopsis

We talk about 2006's Man of the Year, a political satire where a comedian KIND OF becomes president, at least for a little while. The movie falls flat but brings up some interesting thoughts about the state of media in 2006 and how this movie's noticeable lack of any diversity echoes a change in the media landscape of that time with regards to Black representation. A period of time that I call 'The Crossover Era'. It's been bleak ever since!But what's not bleak?
