One of my weekly must listen to podcasts. Even on movies I’ve seen a million times I’ve learned new details and perspectives.

Made it 32 mins into the Dead Poets Society episode before Paul Scheer’s racist, anti-white rhetoric became too much. Unchallenged by his co-host, this pair is a time-capsule of 2010 weak-minded, woke-yolk dressed up as critique. Save yourself the eye rolls and follow What Went Wrong instead. At least the anti-white rhetoric is dialled back to 2 on that show and the research is miles ahead of this dim-witted duo.
