- Impactful review and unpacking
Even though it’s probably years away, I can’t wait for an episode unpacking the strange mess that “one battle after another” made of black revolutionary struggle, gender and sexual politics, and radical resistance more generally. It seems like a movie made for this podcast

United Statesa month ago - Love the show, but please fix the audio
I love the show but the audio is so spotty that it makes it almost unlistenable. Voices fade in and out.
Apple Podcasts5Fruit Warrior 64United States8 months ago - I love the pod, hated the Dazed & Confused ep
I love the podcast but I have to comment on the D&C episode. It’s genuinely puzzling how every panelist - aside from Josh who doesn’t quite leap to defense - completely misreads this film. D&C is not about “the cool kids”, nor is it celebrating coolness, nor is it expressing fascist views about popularity and class structure. It’s a movie about kids caught in a fugue of adolescence. Some of them are more aware of themselves than others, some are dimwit teenagers. What the movie does extremely we... more
Apple Podcasts5BrosgolbabeUnited States9 months ago - I give up.
While Saving Private Ryan isn’t my favorite film of all time, listening to this group of people tear it apart was too much for me. So I’m out. I’ll stick with Movies That Made Me.
Apple Podcasts1Krypto CookiesUnited States10 months ago - Great idea, Not great execution
I really enjoy Josh Olson on The Movies that Made Me but not a fan here. The discussion of the opening of Saving Private Ryan caused me to unfollow the show(and I think the movie is somewhat overrated)

Frequently Asked Questions About The White Canon
What is The White Canon about and what kind of topics does it cover?
