Gooood Morning!

We review the media cycle from the previous 2 weeks, pre-Memorial Day weekend, and discuss the second season of the hit FX series Atlanta, the Black content creator era which we currently live in, Jordan’s recent trip to New Orleans, and his subsequent binge-watch of HBO’s The Pacific.

After the break we speak with comedian Tim Barnes who embellished us to watch the feminist version of the “This Is America” music video. He also touches upon the Black content creator movement and the somewhat unfair criticism that some folks have had of Childish Gambino’s “wokeness” (insert vomit emoji).
