Gran Torino (Feat. Roy Wood Jr.)

On todays episode we speak with the one and only Roy Wood Jr. (The Daily Show, Confess, Fletch) and we are absolutely as hyped as you are! 

Together, we break down the 2008 Clint Eastwood vehicle (rim shot), Gran Torino. With almost a slur a minute, there was a lot to break down. Roy shares a story about hitting Clint's car with a football on the Warner Brothers lot, we ask if the point of the film is white forgiveness, and we imagine what a sequel would look like. 

We can't thank Roy enough for his time and all the laughs. Roy's new movie Confess, Fletch is in theaters right now as well as digital early access at home. Also staring Jon Hamm, Ayden Mayeri, Kyle Maclachlan, and Lorneza Izzo, it's a smart and fun update of the original Fletch movies and novels. Check it out! 

If for whatever reason you don't follow Roy, you can find him on Twitter and IG @Roywoodjr. And head over to Roywoodjr.com to find tour dates and more! 

You can also find him weeknights on The Daily Show on Comedy Central, and every Wednesday on his podcast Roy's Job Fair (@roysjobfair). 

And as always, you can find us on Twitter at @white_pod. We'll have a lot of additional info on this movie there, including more from Bee Vang and comments from the Hmong actors and crew about their treatment on set. You can also reach out to us at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com with your thoughts about these movies, recommendations for films, and more! We'll be back next week with Blood Diamond!
