El Dorado (Feat. Danielle G.)

It's colonization for the whole family! This week we're joined by Danielle G. of the Young, Gifted, and Abroad podcast to talk about the 2000 Dreamworks film, The Road to El Dorado. 

From the Chel of it all, to the colonizer rock of Elton John, this movie was something else. We ask what Miguel and Tulio were even bringing to the table, question the repeated trope of outsiders bringing salvation to indigenous people, and the spicy, spicy reviews of this film. 

Movies recommended: The Prince of Egypt, Life, O Brother, Where Out Thou?

Danielle has been putting out the YGaA podcast since 2018! That's some incredible work, and if you've ever studied abroad or are thinking about doing it, this is a must. Each episode speaks to a different person of color about their experiences studying in different countries. New season is in the works too, so now is the perfect time to catch up. 

Next week we have a very special family episode as both Jordan and Cameron's sisters join to talk about a terrible, terrible movie, Black or White. And the week after, join us for a special end of year episode where we talk about our first few episodes, our favorite Black and Poc media of 2021, and look forward to 2022.
