The American Society of Magical Negroes (Feat. Aisha Harris)

You asked and we delivered. A movie that should have been funny and insightful but instead turned out to be one of the most confusing films in recent memory, The American Society of Magical Negroes is something we have to talk about. Before you ask, it's everything you feared and maybe a bit more. We break it all down so you don't have to see it, including some intriguing quotes from Kobi Libbi and our thoughts on ways this concept could have worked. 

 

Please check out Aisha's review here, and follow on the socials for more of her wonderful thoughts on film and more. In fact, you can buy a book filled with them in Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me . And of course check out NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour wherever you get your podcasts. 

 

Oh, and we aren't done. Cameron and Jordan had another whole round of thoughts and more quotes from the director to parse so part two is coming soon!
