The Crickets Dance (Feat. Alexis Harper)

And now, we present to you one of the cringiest and most requested movies we've had in some time. A movie so bad, we honestly recommend you don't watch. We're talking about the one, the only, 2020 train wreck, The Cricket's Dance. 

We're joined by the wonderful Alexis Harper, whose tweet brought this cursed film to our attention, so it was only right we had her own to talk through it. 

Part slave movie, part romance, and 100% white forgiveness, we journey back to McGrath plantation and ask questions like, how could you manage to keep two separate pregnancies a secret? Why do these slaves look like they're in a J. Crew catalogue? And what exactly do you mean by "the crickets dance"?

That's not all, because we have some juicy behind the scenes things to discuss, namely the DM and subtweet the director sent Alexis! 

Speaking of, Alexis is wonderful and you should absolutely follow her here, as well as check out her abolitionist newsletter The Washington Revolution! 

As for us, you can follow along on Twitter for plenty of behind the scenes, thoughts and more at @white_pod on Twitter and feel free to email us at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com with your own movie recommendations and thoughts! We'll be back next week to talk about Gran Torino with a very special guest!
