Green Book Part 2

Wednesday Aug 04, 2021

Wednesday Aug 04, 2021

We're back with part two of our oversized premiere episode! 
Last time we broke down the unyielding caucacity that is Green Book. This episode, we dive into it's critical reception. The awards, the glowing reviews, and what was that Viggo Mortensen said on the press tour? 
And last but not least, we imagine a Green Book that actually stars Dr. Don Shirley and explores his incredible life. 
Thanks for joining us as we start this wild ride. Check us out on Twitter @White_pod, email us at whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod@gmail.com and give us some stars and reviews wherever you listen! 
See you next time for White Man's Burden...

Green Book Part 1

Wednesday Aug 04, 2021

Wednesday Aug 04, 2021

It's the premiere! And it's only right we tackle the 2018 Best Picture winner, Green Book. This movie y'all...it tries every last nerve and then finds new ones. In part one we analyze the movie itself and everything wrong with it. 
Tony Lipp as the lead? Don Shirley doesn't know Black people? The chicken!
Part two is available now as well where we dive into the films critical reception and imagine it focusing solely on Dr. Don Shirley as it should have always been.

We'll be back next week with another episode focusing on the truly insane, White Man's Burden.
