This week, we are joined by Yedoye Travis (Dark Tank) to discuss the 2006 film, The Pursuit of Happyness, based on the true story of Chris Gardner and starring Will Smith. We get into the harsh reality of being poor in America and how race factors into this film's version of the “American dream.” We also talk crying during movies, the role of the female lead, and when the public realized rubik’s cubes were solvable.
