Special Guests: John StrausbaughGuest Co-Host: Jay Scott Smith
Burn some cork, put on your tap shoes and get ready to put on the "coon show" to end all "coon shows" as we talk about Spike Lee’s 2000 satire of African-American representation in culture, Bamboozled. The film stars Damon Wayans as a TV writer who wants to get fired, so he creates the most racist show in history. Only to discover, it’s a massive hit!
Joining us this week as special guest co-host is writer/radio personality Jay Scott Smith.
