  • Summary

  • This podcast features a discussion on underrated Black movies, with the host highlighting films like "Bamboozled" and "See You Yesterday." Mike Starks discusses the themes of systemic racism, exploitation of black culture, and the impact of compromising one's identity for success in the entertainment industry. The importance of these movies lies in their ability to challenge societal norms, provoke discussions on racial justice, and shed light on the harsh realities faced by marginalized communities. This podcast also touches on the use of satire, time travel, and horror elements in these films to address complex issues such as capitalism, dehumanization, and systemic violence. Mike Starks emphasized the need for viewers, especially non-black audiences, to engage with these films to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Black communities and the impact of systemic oppression.
